taezee Posted November 29, 2001 Posted November 29, 2001 it is just an aspect of martial arts not actual combat...its for sport and entertainment only...this includes modern "full contact" olympic taekwondo..which is nothing more then point fighting with a little more contact Javier l Rosario instructor taekwondo/hapkidounder master Atef s Himaya"whenever youre lazy enough not to train .someone, somewhere is training very hard to kick your *"
Tobias_Reece Posted November 29, 2001 Posted November 29, 2001 Bon I would like to apologise. I read the new rules for kumite and found that you can score points without actually touching the opponent, in areas such as the neck. To be truthful, thats a load of BS!!! How can you score a point without actually touching the opponent. And yes, its juts like a glorified game of tag. C ya "You Are Never Given A Dream Without Also Being Given The Power To Make It True.

moobrack Posted November 29, 2001 Posted November 29, 2001 I am late on this topic but here are my thoughts. I love point sparring.It is as you say a great way to build upfitness and co-ordination and speed.It is also very fun, even if you are against a 7foot tall bodybuilder. It is even more fun to fight against somebody with control. C Ya Anthony Bullock1st Dan Black Belt - Shotokan Karate5th Kyu Yellow Belt - Aiki-Jutsuhttps://www.universaldojo.com Coming Soon
Kempo_Dude Posted May 28, 2002 Posted May 28, 2002 Sparring is first made up in Japan. Sparring's a tough weapon. Kempo dude says: Stand up show me what you got, im black belter in kempo, im a Kempo champ. lets see who will win!

Bobby Posted May 29, 2002 Posted May 29, 2002 point sparing is good as a sport - but not realistic. Real fights are over in about 2/3 seconds. (just my opinion) Yeah!
isshinryugurl Posted October 3, 2004 Posted October 3, 2004 I belong to the PKC in Indiana, and point fighting is fun. However, the judges are horrible. Last tour., I got a center judge who is blind in one eye. I don't really like kata and weapons in tour., but fighting in tour. gives you a chance to fight people outside your dojo, which is always fun. ____________________________________________________________ make'm cry or get disqualified.

thaiboxerken Posted October 3, 2004 Posted October 3, 2004 Point sparring came from the axiom that any hard strike from a karate guy will end any fight. Well.. now that we knwo the axiom is false.. the point sparring people still play the game, for unknown reasons. Maybe it's fun. Maybe it's to give them some kind of competition because they would lose in fullcontact events. Who knows? Just kick 'em, they'll understand.- Me Apprentice Instructor under Guro Inosanto in Jun Fan Gung Fu and Filipinno Martial arts.Certified Instructor of Frank Cucci's Linxx system of martial arts.
