monkeygirl Posted July 20, 2003 Posted July 20, 2003 Let's try to keep unfair generalizations out of this, okay? There are plenty of male blackbelts who refuse to go easy on a lower rank, and plenty of female blackbelts who will happily oblige. 1st dan & Asst.

telsun Posted July 20, 2003 Posted July 20, 2003 Relax and enjoy sparring. You are probably trying so hard to get things right that you are too tense. Sparring will feel awkward for quite a while. Especially when you're always sparring higher grades. When lower grades come in and you spar with them it will become obvious just how far you have come. Just be patient, it will come.

pmh1nic Posted July 22, 2003 Posted July 22, 2003 Pacificshore I'm not sure what style you practice and maybe I'm misunderstand your statement but the foot work for moving left or right is the same whether you're in a fighting stance with your left foot forward or right foot forward. If you move left your left foot moves first then your right. If your moving right your right foot moves first then your left. I practice Jiu-Jitsu and I've done some boxing and it's always move left, left foot moves first (opposite going right) regardless of which foot is forward. "The longer I live the more convincing proofs I see of this truth, that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid?" Benjamin Franklin
