Lambornima Member Registered: 10/29/05 Posts: 51	I practice Wado Ryu at the Toronto Wado Kai Karate club. contact depends on age and rank. at my level (junior shodan) we have medium contact. we do not have full contact.

Gogo Stranger Registered: 10/03/06 Posts: 1 Loc: New England	HI We also do numerous drills and sets designed to build a variety of skills. We are a mix art of kempo-ju jitsu, kali-silat. While we will play with the idea of the tourny classic "tag your it" it is more ment for timeing and distance work, as many of the tourys in the new england area lack that full contact method anyway. We tend to lean away from teaching full contact. The truth is many of the student have real jobs where they cant go in with a busted nose, at least not weekly. I would say that less than 10% of the year is spent with full contact but we bang back and forth with count less combos and ju jitsu play 60% and forms the other 30. Sensei say "Some pain, some gain,... all pain, then you stop the train."

Say, you have students who come back? Forgive the tongue in cheek, I've seen some very outdated ideas in practice, such dehydration is good for you because it teaches discipline. Now Sensei Smith, repeat after me, "dehydration IS good for you". We spar and we do it all, except for weapons sparring ala competitive Escrima. Sparring isn't everything though. _________________________ It takes a village to stone somebody to death.

Stormdragon Who Dares Wins Professional Poster Registered: 08/05/04 Posts: 3406 Loc: Salem, OR	Won't your skills be very limited an much less effective in real fighting if oyu don't spar, randori or go live in some way? Thats why boxers, wrestlers, kyokushin, MT, etc. regularly spar hard and live. _________________________ Member of DaJoGen MMA school under Dave Hagen and Team Chaos fight team under Denver Mangiyatan and Chris Toquero, ran out of Zanshin Martial Arts in Salem Oregon: http://www.zanshinarts.org/Home.aspx,

MarkW Member Registered: 12/14/06 Posts: 39 Loc: Melbourne, Australia	1) Kyukoshin 2) Yes - Melbourne Martial Arts Centre 3) The Dojo's sparring ranges from light to full contact. It's up to the student if they want to do full contact or not. By the way I'm a new member, I just found the site and its great.

Pryde Newbie Registered: 01/05/07 Posts: 10	Style: Urban Goju Do we spar: Yes, we wear head gear and gloves and pretty much dont hold back to much. Focus alot too the head so we get some guys with some teary eyes or just plain swollen. Its all in good fun though and everybody enjoys it. Our Sensei doesnt like us to pull punches alot also.
