    Question about sparring

    Dear all,
    Some of those people were using the techniques they have learnt in their classes in those (light contact) sparring matches. However, I noticed that some people from those organisations were fighting like amateur kick boxers (on youtube), when they put on gloves and protective clothing in full contact sparring matches. They seem to have forgotten everything they had learnt.
    My question is if they could apply their techniques in light contact sparring matches or against their fellow classmates in light contact sparring matches, then how come they abandoned their techniques when fighting in full contact sparring matches?
    This does not make any sense.

    Thank you very much

    Because kickboxing is the most natural way for the body to fight. It doesn't use any convoluted movements, doesn't mimic animals, and it doesn't follow preset methods based on theory.

    That said, it could also be that the folks just don't perform well under pressure. A lot of folks are great at applying their techniques against little to moderate pressure, but when given REAL pressure they collapse either because their skill level isn't high enough, or because the technique or theory is flawed.
    "I don't know if anyone is known with the art of "sitting on your couch" here, but in my eyes it is also to be a martial art.

    It is the art of avoiding dangerous situations. It helps you to avoid a dangerous situation by not actually being there. So lets say there is a dangerous situation going on somewhere other than your couch. You are safely seated on your couch so you have in a nutshell "difused" the situation."

    However all his videos were of kempo and karate fights. point sparring. he actually didn't even post any good kickboxing videos. so, we can assume he's trolling seeing as he doesn't seem to understand what it is he is badmouthing.

    anyway, hitman is one more of kfm's lame ass trolls that's been hanging around too long.

    we have a habit feeding them here though. For the laughs.
    Kung Fu is good for you.

    doesn't mimic animals,
    When practicing Tiger Techniques, i wonder if people would actually growl inside thinking they have the concept? LOL

    Cool thing about animal styles, you can actually become the animal without becoming the animal....

    you do know that bawang and Dave are not the same person, right? (I've communicated off forum w/bawang via e-mail, he's in Toronto)
    it's just one of HW108's running commentaries where he keeps making that claim;

    We do have more than a few trolls under this bridge. really gets crowded sometimes.

    One day, I had to check the addres bar because I thought I was at trollshido!

    and yeah, ross is in new york stinky, while bawang is a homeless guy with an iphone on spadina and dundas in toronto.
    Kung Fu is good for you.

    Actually, he is in Guelph, a "suburb" of Toronto, in a manner of speaking.
    He is as much Dave as I am, or you are or Frank is.

    It's all good. I can't lie though, i find it funny that his accent gets lost at times, while other times he sounds like he's trying to be a fob.

    all in all, it keeps me from being bored hahahaha
