SBN Doug Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 yes we wear headgear also. I just cant see sparring without punching to the face... True, but the face is a dangerous place to be hit, esspecially if you catch him leaning into it by accident. I ususally target the forehead (when sparring) when I would normally target the face in a real fight. Kuk Sool Won - 4th danEvil triumphs when good men do nothing.

TJS Posted June 19, 2003 Author Share Posted June 19, 2003 yes I usally hit the forehead aswell with straight punches..but hooks an uppercuts are harder not to hit with. But IMO it's very important to learn how to take a hit without getting scared/flinching/backing up etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StoneSkin Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 Just say your right, you could knock me out with a properly executed, powerful kick to the head. Let his ego be your advantage. Because then even if you do out spar him he will still think, but i could easily knock him out with a kick to the head. Mean while you keep on agreeing and keep on out sparring him.

Treebranch Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 Hey TJS I would let you hit me in the face if we were sparring. I mean how am I supposed to learn how to move realistically if you can't punch to the head. In a real situation that's the number one target people go for. A punch to the head is alot harder to handle than a kick to the head. TKD kicks aren't as powerful as they could be, especially the round house kick. It's kind of a snapping kick, Muy Thai kicks I'd worry about. Keep walking into him and he won't be able to get any high kicks in.
