sparring

[THREE EYED LAU]

so what combinations do u guys like to use when sparring or basically what do u think catches people out ive been doing some semi contact of late and was hopeing for some pointers thnx:)

[joedoe]

Throw a punch to the face, and simultaneously kick them in the nuts. Works every time.

[ComeToJesus]

Double kicks. Like a low roundhouse to the calf and then a high one to the head.
Generally I've noticed people don't expect high kicks most of the time.
Throw a lot of the same technique, then do one that starts in the same manner, but is completely different.
People also usually dont expect soccer kicks to the crotch, but I wouldn't do this one ;)
Yeah so anyways, what I've noticed is that people usually don't expect more than one kick, so if you can, pull one of those no shadow kick combos :D

[Shuul Vis]

i NEVER spar. Someone could get hurt. Thats not what im all about. I mean, i would just use my flying triple dragon kick and it would be all over no matter who the opponent is so why bother?

"X" block, anyone? :)

Gotta agree with CTJ on the kicks. Moree than three in a row, and they figure it out. But two or three is a good number.

as a general rule yes. anything the same beyond the 2nd or 3rd time will git you et.

however, if your repertoir of kicks is varied enough then it is no different than throwing 4,5 or 6 punches in a row.

I will sometimes (sometimes) throw this series:

front kick, centerline midgate, retract

side kick, centerline midgate, plant forward

(sometimes a lead hand backfist will go here)

spin side, with the back leg (of course), plant forward with the kicking leg

spin side from the other direction

oh yeah!...thinking about that one hunh?!?:cool:

anyway, sometimes, they expect not other spinning type side-ish

[Oso]

so, the point is that you can sometimes slick them by doing something that they know you won't do because it goes against what we consider as basic rules.


oh, and I land kicks mainly because my kicks are the martial equivelant of the "Humpty Dance":p

[yenhoi]

Jab, cross, grab opponents head, bend opponent in half, smash opponent with elbow or knee or something.

Basic silat. :D

[Becca]

Hmmm... This one works well, if you have a fast roundhouse kick.

roundhouse low to the knee
roundhouse on recoil high to the head/neck
slide to the other side, lunge into front punch to the gut.

[ComeToJesus]

What's a centerline midgate?:rolleyes:

[Serpent]

Why don't you ask Jesus?

[Becca]

Aww, Serpent, let him get to 20 posts before harrasing him about his screen name.;)

Aw, come on. A screen name like that sits up and begs for comments.

BTW, as a non-christian I take exception to that screen-name.
;)

[joedoe]

But Jesus is supposed to be God, and if he is God then he should know what a centerline midgate is :D

[Serpent]

Exactly. Besides, why bother fighting? Doesn't Jesus turn the other cheek?

[Laughing Cow]

God there is no God.
:D

[shaolin kungfu]

Jesus was ego maniac.

Being God, he can create as many cheeks as he wants so maybe he created a vengeful cheek? :D

[Becca]

D@mn. Another good thread hi-jacked.:D

He says come to Jesus. He never said he WAS Jesus.














Maybe Jesus is standing next to him.;)

[ComeToJesus]

ANYways.... What Becca said. I am not Jesus.

[Becca]

CTJ- Something odd happens on KFO most every night. A group of board idiots get together and hi-jack unsuspecting threads, as we have no KFO chatroom. God only knows what will set them off.:D Your screen name just happened to be it tonight.:)

[Serpent]

But you want people to "come to Jesus".

So, you know where he is then?

[Serpent]

Hey! Are you calling me a board idiot?

WRONG!

I'm a bored idiot.

And it's not even night time here.

[joedoe]

If he is not claiming to be Jesus, he would be called "Go To Jesus". As he is called "Come To Jesus" he is implying that he is in fact Jesus.

And you call us idiots! :D

[Serpent]

Heh heh heh.

[shaolin kungfu]

If he is not claiming to be Jesus, he would be called "Go To Jesus". As he is called "Come To Jesus" he is implying that he is in fact Jesus.

Well, there's two ways to see it. Either he's implying that jesus is somewhere very close by him, or that he is jesus.

Either way, he's wrong.

Jesus lives four blocks from me.

[Becca]

If I'd have spelled it "bored", I would have had to include myself. I am not an idiot, just bored.:D

WRONG!!!!!

When you call your dog, you say "Come here boy/girl/rover/whatever". Similarly, when you have a small child and you are encouraging them to come to you, you say "Come to daddy/mummy". If you wanted them to go to your spouse who happens to be standing nearby, you would say "Go to daddy/mummy". The use of the word 'come' rather than 'go' implies that the call is for you to go to him, not someone nearby. Hence, he is inferring that he is Jesus.

:D

[shaolin kungfu]

But if I'm standing next to the fridge, I say "come to the fridge", not "go to the fridge".:D

[joedoe]

Just shows how ****ed your English skills are then.

That's right, you wouldn't speak English would you? That'd be American ;)

:D
:D

[shaolin kungfu]

:D

[Laughing Cow]

I still say that American should be recognised as a language apart from English.

Wasn't there a drive not too long ago to american recognised as it's own language?

[joedoe]

I don't understand why though? It is just *******ised English.

Hey! who you callin' a b@stard!:mad:

Some people feel that there are enough differences to make it it's own language.

Spelling, grammar, etc.

Cheers.

[ComeToJesus]

It's all good, as long as it's in good humour. Now if someone is seriously taking offense at my name, they need help, FAST.
It's all supposed to be in good fun.

Anyways, my name makes sense even if I'm not Jesus or even close to Jesus. I could say to you, "come to the beach" even though I am not there. I am implying that I will eventually go there.
But seriously, this much thought is not supposed to go into this. The purpose was so people get a good laugh from it, and they usually do.
I guess I'm bored just like you guys.:eek:

All you steeeenking Yankees :D

[shaolin kungfu]

I'm afraid I don't understand how it's funny. :confused:

Not offensive, I just don't know why someone would laugh at Come to Jesus.

Now, if it were come ON jesus, that would be different.

The difference being that the beach is a place, while you are not. ;)

Anyway, it is an amusing tag. So, are you Jesus, and if so can you come over here and cure my asthma? :D

[ComeToJesus]

Shaolin Kungfu, appears we have a different sense of humour. I find ComeOnJesus not funny.
I originally used this name when playing CounterStrike, and most people found it funny seeing someone with a name like this in a game like that. Maybe in this context it isn't all that amusing to people.
Now let's all never speak of my name again :) .

joedoe unfortunately I am not Jesus, I just send people his way. :p

[Serpent]

How about Come For Jesus? I could get into that.

[Laughing Cow]

CTJ.

We won't led you off that easy.

Come and join us on the dark side.

Harharhar.

I can see how that would be funny in a CS setting :)

Are you a religious person? If so I will stop taking the mickey out of your name.

[ComeToJesus]

No I'm not really religious.
It's just for fun! arghh...! *punches self in face*

[Serpent]

Anybody else interested in coming for Jesus, or is it just me?

[Lowlynobody]

Jesus!
Ju better believe it!

8 year olds Dude.

:eek:








:D

[joedoe]

CTJ: OK, well I will continue to make fun of your name then :D

Serpent: Jesus never really got me worked up in that way. Sorry, you're on your own :D

Serpent look at what you've started. Poor guy that started the thread is gonna think he's getting a ton of helpful pointers when he sees the reply count, but will be horribly disappointed.:rolleyes:

And I'm not digging the ComeForJesus much either :p

I need sleep.

[ComeToJesus]

What joedoe said...
You laugh, then realize "What the **** this is just plain wrong" lol

You either had that bookmarked or searched for it. Either of those is disturbing.

Well, there is one documented case of Jesus sparring, but he used a whip and his opponents were unarmed. If I remember correctly, his tactics were to overturn tables and chase them out.

It was in a temple, so maybe he learned from some Shaolin monks? :D

[SifuAbel]

I haven't read this whole thread, but I rather come on my girlfriend.


As far as sparring, just flow. To think about technique is like not getting past the first word in a book.

[Serpent]

Trust me, GDA had that bookmarked.

Way to kill another thread, dude. ;)

It's the way ofthings on KFO. Someone starts an interesting thread, bored idiots hijack it and then GDA comes along and posts something guaranteeing the thread's deletion.

I wonder what we'll destroy tomorrow?

:)

[ComeToJesus]

LoL! That's a funny a$$ system you guys got going. I've noticed it somewhat, as I usually come here once a week looking for interesting threads, and always see them turn into something else or ****ing contests. Oh well it's all good.
It was good getting to know you guys and your function on these boards.
Now I REALLY need sleep.
Later...

[Serpent]

We aim to please.

SifuAbel, what are you talking about sparring for? This thread has been hijacked!

[joedoe]

How about coming WITH Jesus? :D

I am waiting for the lightning bolt to strike me down

That implies a belief in the God of Jesus. Have you gone all born again on us?

[GunnedDownAtrocity]

bookmarked hell .... i got that sh it saved on my ftp. :)

welcome to kfo come on jesus.

[GunnedDownAtrocity]

on a related note i just comed on my girlfriends boobies.

well ... ok ... it was mostly all over myself but i still got head. yay!

[GunnedDownAtrocity]

oh and i like hooks to the ribs followed either by elbows to the ribs/sterum or uppercuts.

i also like to follow a sinking punch to the stomach/sterum with a monkey palm that slides up to the throat and grabs the chin afterwards to force them off balance. (i punch to the body a lot cause im short and it makes more sense)

meidum high cressants that suddenly turn into side kicks to the knee are also good.

following a kick check with a kick to the back leg always makes me happy.

i do a tiger movement where one hand goes straight in front of their face while simultaneously kicking them in the nuts a lot.

and there's no replacing the good ol' 1 - 2. throw in some back fists and uppercuts in any order. sometimes ill do a 1 - 2 and follow with a uppercut with the 2 hand.

[Laughing Cow]

I found that cupped hand/s to the ears gets their attention.

:D

[GunnedDownAtrocity]

oh and another thing i really liked in drilling but havent been able to do in sparring ..... after doing that monkey palm that slides up to the throat i like to continue sliding up to grab them behind their neck and drag their nose into a headbutt. biting their nipple afterwards is optional.

i was showed this as a follow up to a snake movement out of planting the willow that closely resembles what i have seen others call beauty looks in mirror. what i have seen others call it in books anyway. its a spear hand that can either hit under the chin or with a good angle i like to settle into it and set them off balance with my forearm. this is good for setting yourself up for a choke/throw/whatever, but i suck at those so i usually just watch them stumble a step or two and laugh at them.

[chen zhen]

"You may have heard this joke about naming of the divine child in Bethlehem," he began. "The child was in the manger, surrounded by oxen and sheep, while his mother, Mary, and Joseph were discussing what name to give him. Solomon was suggested, Moses and David, but they couldn't agree. At the moment, the Magi, the three wise men from the East, entered the stable. Paying homage to the new-born child, they placed offerings of myrrh and frankincense before him. The third chap, who was very tall, knelt down to present his gift of gold. As he got up, he bumped his head on the low rafters of the stable and exclaimed in pain, "Jesus Christ!" Mary turned to Joseph and said, "That"s nice name. That's what we'll call him.""

:D :D :D

[Oso]

SifuAbel,

do you not spar with different intent at differerent times?

I agree that sparring should flow but sometimes do you not work specific combinations?

[Oso]

CTJ, usually one of the bored idiots will at least answer your question....

centerline, is, well the center of you body, usually most talked about as from the front but it's still there from any angle.

midgate is just the middle level of your body.

[Becca]

Forgot you asked a question CTJ.:( I had actually meant to answer that, too.

[Serpent]

Questions schmestions. How does that compare to talk of coming on Jesus?

But, just to be fair, one of my favourite sparring techs is the front leg point kick to the hip or front of the groin. A great stopping technique so that you can dictate distance and timing. And a really good one will drop someone or at least take the fight out of them.

[Oso]

Serp, not knocking you messing with him, but you coulda at least answered the question as well :)


had a really sweet moment tonight at jujitsu. we were sparring per the sport jj rules. I decided to play my game a little bit and dropped into a left lead middle stance and flanked his right lead jab and trapped it towards his chest and fired a verticle punch into that spot in the crease of your waist that will affect the lung on the same side...popped back out and waited. Just when I though I had missed, he dropped.


he-he, I like it.

[Serpent]

Yeah, I coulda... ;)

I'm not sure what you mean in your post. What's the spot you're referring to?

[Becca]

we were sparring per the sport jj rules.

Sport Jujitsu

Oso, sounds sweet so long as you aren't on the recieveing end.;)

[Oso]

Serp, bend at the waist. note the two creases on either side of your belly button, if you have one;) , a long weapon {shin, forearm, stick} striking parallel to those creases and at a slight downward angle will spasm the lung on the same side. A while ago I figured out how to strike them with a punch. Just as effective as a solar plexus shot but those areas are not usually protected as much so they are a bit easier to hit.

It was pretty sweet, he just kinda got a funny look on his face and dropped to his knees. The good thing is that it doesn't take a full contact strike to get the effect and it's not permanent.

******, now I'll have to kill everyone that reads this thread...

[Serpent]

Interesting. I wonder what poor ******* is going to become my guinea pig for that tonight?

:)

[Oso]

tonight I just used a vertical fist with a slight downward angle.

my fav way to hit it is with a downward strike using the full line of my knuckles.

good luck. I can't ever remember the healing point on the back for it but they will usually recover soon anyway, it's not lethal or anything, just kinda sucky for them.

[Serpent]

I'll let you know how it goes.

[Oso]

otay !


say, I think I've just discovered how to rack up my post count.;)

[Serpent]

Easy innit!

:)
