Darce Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 It was a little kid, who had got the brown belt during the weekened. My trainer told him to spar against everyone (1 to 1)in the dojo an score at least one point on everyone. He did, and his moves was really amazing. When it was my turn he kicked me to the head, with good control, of course. It was the highest belt I have ever sparred with. Can´t wait til I learn all the advanced techs he knew. Shukokai Karate, Orange belt ( 7. kyu)
shotochem Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 There will be many more shots to the head. It really doesnt matter what belt your sparring against. Its the person. Ive sparred with a yellow belt who used to do a little boxing, funny I never did see that left uppercut comeing. There are white belts who can fight well and there are Brown and Black belts that dont spar all that well. Never over or under estimate your opponent. Pain is only temporary, the memory of that pain lasts a lifetime.
Sasori_Te Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 Shotochem is right. it's not the belt hitting you in the head it's the person wearing it. Lower ranks can keep you humble. *L* A block is a strike is a lock is a throw.
Goju1 Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 Yeah, I remember when I was testing for blue or purple and I had to fight this new guy, a yellow belt. I was thinkin' this'll be easy hehe - never saw that kick to the head coming! Turns out he had been a brown belt in TKD, we became buddies, but boy was that a humbling experience
alanseijas Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 Yeah, I got my shodan in Isshinryu, and started back at white in Shorinryu. People had no idea what to expect. Don't go by belt color! The patch or crest worn by Isshinryu karateka often raises admiration and curiosity. The patch is based on a day dream Tatsuo Shimabuku had in the fifties while he was creating his karate style. This dream was the missing piece in the puzzle called Isshinryu. The patch is often incorrectly called Mizu Gami, which means 'water goddess'. Originally the Isshinryu emblem was called 'Isshinryu No Megami', which means 'Goddess of Isshinryu'. The goddess is the Goddess of Isshinryu karate and not the goddess of water.
WhiteShark Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 How old was this "little kid"? And how old are you? Rock Paper ScissorPunch Knee Kick^ME^ ^MY DOJO^
Practise is the Key Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 How old was this "little kid"? And how old are you? Yeah i want to know don't under estimate me ok... I am still training however, having dabbled in Shotokan and Shotokai Karate. I am please to report that Kenshukai is one of the strongest and most disciplined styles ( i did not write this)
superleeds Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 (edited) We spar with the black belts and brown belts all the time..Dosen't everyone? Edited October 6, 2003 by superleeds Read a book!
iolair Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 Can´t wait til I learn all the advanced techs he knew.IMHO, drilling your basics until they become as second nature as walking is worth more than all the "advanced techniques" in the world! Currently: Kickboxing and variants.Previously: Karate (Seido, Shotokan, Seidokan), Ju Jitsu, Judo, Aikido, Fencing.
