iam black belt in TKD.. Pretty good.. That dude always gives me a hard time sparring him. he is fast and got good combos. i tried every thing fake, go in, check, knee up . every thign u cna think off. Any tips from experts?
thank you

have you tried knocking him out yet?

Buddy this is Olympic sparring! no punching to head..

yes. Olympic Sparring. It does have knockouts. Kicking to the head, at black belt level (you did say you were a bb, didn't you?) is very legal and usually the prefered method of winning via knockout.

any one just help me wit technique

Hey you are the "good" blackbelt in olympic sparring. Although you not knowing you can knock someone out in Olympic is a bit unsettling.

Maybe you should take something more your speeed?

Knitting, perhaps?

try this,
stand on your left leg, right leg up in a half chambered position, left hand checks in front of the face, right hand acts as a lead, elbow bent please!!! I don't guarantee you will score lots, that depends on you, but if you are any good at all you won't be scored on from this position.

Right. Unless the other person is better. Or patient.

Remember the only "their is NO WAY this guy will score on you if you use this technique" that actually works is not getting in the ring.

But I will let you kids discuss amongst yourselves.

as far as better goes, my former sensei was a 6th dan in tkd and he won many matches by retreating to exactly this stance. As far as patient goes, what are they waiting for? Surely you can stand on one leg for 2 minutes. Not that you would have to. Your opponent will eventually attack, and then you counter. By the way the whole kid crack, I am 28 years old and have been doing various martial arts for over half my life. I never claimed that the stance was perfect, the application depends on the defender, some people can't walk without tripping. That's not my fault, and the technique of walking seems to work for everyone else fairly well.
Personally I don't use this stance because I am a more agressive fighter, but many others make it work.
Just trying to help.

It is a basic block. Anyone worth their salt will beat the hell out of you in an Olympic match if you "stood on 1 leg for 2 minutes".


Anyone else remember when BB rounds were almost always 3 3's?

By the way if your "sensei" was a 6th dan in TKD, maybe he shouldn't be called "sensei" [IMG]http://www.fightingarts.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif[/IMG]
