XMartial Arts_FighterX Posted June 11, 2003 Posted June 11, 2003 Hmm just out of curiousity do most of you spar? If so what kind of tactics do you try in sparring or do you usually adept to what is going on? Do you have any preplaned tactics? If so plz tell me.
Shotokan_Fighter Posted June 11, 2003 Posted June 11, 2003 i spar all the time sparring is a must in karate training you have to spar so you know what to do under pressure and yes i do have pre planned attacks and combos but i dont think about when and how i am going to use them if i thik about using the combo i stall and then my opponet is all over me. like i said if you have to think about using any karate in a sparring match or a fight you have lost the match. but that is why sparring is so great i learned how to use my favriot combo by sparring slow then start getting into it more and more i just recently won a tournement i sparring got 1st place.

tommarker Posted June 11, 2003 Posted June 11, 2003 i tend to experiment a lot in sparring. i have a style that works pretty effectively for me, but I always like to try new tactics. I'll change my strategy depending on the other person's rank, size, speed, etc. I'm no longer posting here. Adios.
