Warp Spider Posted July 9, 2003 Posted July 9, 2003 I would call sparring "practice fighting" or "simulated combat." Trolling is a word used to describe people who are rude or otherwise disrespectful for the express purpose of annoying or offending other people. It is usually used by people who don't like their ideas being questioned and accuse an honest statement of being a case of trolling. However, in some cases, the "troll" is just a jerk and people are pointing that out to anyone who didn't realize it already. Paladin - A holy beat down in the name of God!
JerryLove Posted July 9, 2003 Posted July 9, 2003 Sparring is often also "play". A sparring match for a boxer differs from a boxing match in that they are "playing" or "practicing" rather than "competing". But as I mentioned, the intent is not to make a specific and accutely accurate definition of "sparring"; but rather to give a gist in terms tah can me understood by a non-native speaker. As to "troll"... "trolling" is the acto fo dragging a line behind a boat in the hopes that a fish will bite it. A 'troll" is someone who "goes trolling"... he places intentionally inflammitory remarks in a thread to find out who will "bite" by responding to his insincere post. https://www.clearsilat.com
Warp Spider Posted July 10, 2003 Posted July 10, 2003 Well, yes, I was trying to explain "trolling" in the context as opposed to generally. Paladin - A holy beat down in the name of God!

JerryLove Posted July 10, 2003 Posted July 10, 2003 It's not so much "American" as it is a usenet term. https://www.clearsilat.com

tommarker Posted July 18, 2003 Posted July 18, 2003 My Brazillian friend tells me his dojang referred to dae ryun/kumite as just "luta" or "luta simulada." I have enough Spanish and French to think that sounds about right. I'm no longer posting here. Adios.
