Yes looks like VT. Nice to see your methods, but this is not sparring. Its controlled drills and one step sparring. Sparring with head guards changes it from what happens with normal contact, people react very differently when hit without head guards and so on.
Still good to see some contact training.
Hey Alan,
You're exactly right. Sparring with the gloves and headgear, although good for your face, does not give you the real feeling for distance when you're not using them. People tend to rush in for the kill without sometimes making sure of their (protected) position.
This is why we do this type of sparring occasionally, and then spar without gloves and headgear (but with mouth guard). But sparring without the gear is most of the time with less power....remember, sparring is not fighting.
I don't know if you were implying this quote to the video I posted. Maybe you're not, and forgive me if that's the case, but just remember you fight the way you train. There's no chasing going on there. And more importantly there's no unnecessary stepping to clear a line that is found in most other systems. The body handles it all and it's "clean" because of that structure and proper timing.....you don't step back or sideways on your "own" in WC, only forward.....
Yes that is the problem with headgear.
For the Chi Sao comp we have touch contact to the head and full contact to the body. Some wanted headgear for harder head contact, but I Chi Sao I think this is the wrong way to go - due to the guys not being aware of the hits and so on. What do you guys think? - for Chi Sao events
Yes sparring is not real fighting it is still a learning tool. Some are quick to judge sparring clips.
I don't much care for sparring drills per say, they tend to crate some bad habits BUT they CAN serve a purpose of introducing people to hard contact sparring.
The more freestyle sparring at the end was good.
