Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net First off, Sparring needs more than punch and kick, it needs movement, feints, fakes, dodge and block. If you can't see the opening, you have to make one, then you can kick and punch. Try this. Opponent left toe to your left toe. Lead left leg round kick, as you land; left hand outside block (as if you were holding an ice-pick moving from right to left), step in with a hook punch. or Fake with a side-kick then go over the top with a back-fist. Good luck! > I was wondering if you could suggest some sparring drills and > combinations which I could practice for a forthcoming tournament.

To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Andy, Given the six techniques you have listed, here are a few I work on, which come to me from Joe Lewis and "Superfoot" Wallace, via one of the black belts in my school that attends Karate College each year. (all presume left side forward stance) 1. From a fighting stance, front hand back fist then front foot side kick. 2. Front leg round kick, back fist with front hand. 3. front hand back fist, reverse punch with rear hand, round kick rear leg. My favorite is this: >From the fighting (natural stance), wait until your opponent charges you.... then stick the front leg side kick in the target zone. Follow it up with a back fist to the head with your front hand, and you'll score points fairly nearly every time. The trick to this is to find a technique you can execute well and practice it. Combinations are the key. Usually 1,2,3 gets covered but a fourth technique will score. Things like front kick off front leg, then punch, punch, with another kick. My Sabumnim feels that the six "basic" techniques, if used well, are truly the only ones you'll need. Get inventive. Chain them together in ways that make you feel comfortable. For drills, work them against a heavy bag, or spar with a partner, and actually work on the techniques without having a set pattern to them. Improvise combinations until you throw them instinctively based on the target which presents itself. Line drills also can work, where you have a specific combination and you "walk" down the floor performing the technique and then "walk" the technique back to start but reversing the stance and body parts used. (ie left side forward first, then right side forward second.) A variation is advancing then retreating using the technique. I have my own personal hand speed development drill. This is especially good for working on punch combinations. At a heavy bag, stand in a fighting stance, and jab with the front hand then reverse/cross punch with the rear hand. The trick to this one is to shorten the time between the sound of fists hitting the bag. As your front hand retracts, the rear hand should already be striking the bag. Turn your hips into the reverse punch for added power. As with any punch, the object is to retract the hand as fast as you put it out there. If you can touch someone before they can block... you can certainly punch them hard enough to break bones. The focus of this I guess is that when working with your sparring partner, work to touch only. Sure you can bang around and pound each other into snail snot (nice visual, eh) but that won't last very long. Instead, look out for your sparring partner, and you'll be able to have much more longevity. I personally have found sparring to be very much like a chess match. Seek the vulnerable point and strike it while denying your opponent opportunity to strike you. Agressive opponents can have their aggressiveness used against them. Passive fighters can be drawn out. Fighters that move can have the ring cut off systematically. Observe your opponent and adapt to their style. But, most of all, have fun. Sparring ISN'T about clobbering your opponent, even though with some that can feel gratifying. Instead it is really about playing a game of tag, so enjoy it and keep it light. Acknowledge good techniques an opponent tags you with. That's all I have.

I went to the site you mentioned looking for the link to the video of the documentary of Kuk Sool Won. Maybe I am blind because I did not find it. Is it listed in a certain section? Just point me in the right direction and give a push. I may have to actually trip over it to find it though, lol.

Wayne, Indiana...If any of you have the opportunity to attend one of his seminars.. please take advantage of it ...i had a great time...my wrists are sore..but all wel worth it...very informative and very useful... I also had the honor of having luch with Master West and his instructors.. it was indeed an honor to sit, discuss, and converse with such very talented and adept martial arts experts... Thank you Master West and your instructors for making the trip and providing a such excellent instruction...

Some of you may remember my last post in that I asked about getting ones orbit fractured as a common injury. I had that experience in a blackbelt pretest and although I could have chosen another path, I opted to believe the injury was an accident and in October I successfully tested for and received my 1st degree blackbelt. I have subsequently gotten 90-95% of the feeling back in the left side of my face but I am now a much more strategizing, careful, and I would say, a "better fighter." Many of you posted back to me on the subject and I sincerely appreciated your points of view. Thank you. However, I am posting about a topic that I believe strongly in and I am in agreement with Khalkee@netscape.net (sorry, I didn't get your name). It's interesting to note that the populations with the least amount of obesity, heart disease, and cancer (read most of the Asian countries) all eat a high carb (rice) and low protein diet. The average person only needs 35 grams of protein a day...the average American eats 120+ grams of protein a day (and we lead the world in obesity, heart disease, cancer...we're number #1!!). What happens to all that extra protein? Do yourself a life-changing favor and PLEASE read the following link: http://www.drmcdougall.com/protein_diets.html . Dr. McDougall has successfully debated all the Atkins-type people who's only defense is "well, we did lose weight temporarily" ...true, and look at all the other really neat things you picked up too. I understand people who are disgusted with overanalyzing things that supposedly work (Michael Tomlinson...I do LOVE all your posts man!!). And I will respect your right to overlook the "overanalyzing" as long as you have ALL the facts and choose to do so. Again, please read that link. I look forward to anyone/everyone's comments.

With regards to the Pyung Ahn Hyungs being replaced, I thing there will be a lot of controversy especially amongst the many 'associations' etc. I am ex WTSDA and was never shown the Chil Sung hyungs until I went to the USA (Mass) and was introduced to them by a II Dan. Since then my school has joined the European Moo Duk Kwan Tang Soo Do Federation under the guidance of Kwan Chang Nim Salam from Holland and have been 're-introduced' to them via Master Kumar. Until now I have never even thought of the Pyung Ahn hyungs being 'replaced' but I will mention it to master Kumar and ask his opinions.

This is why Atkins recommends eating more often with this diet, since proteins and fats are both for gradual unsustained activity, which is why you need carbohydrates. So you can see why the Atkins diet (and other low carb diets) work: they literally eat away at your body, and if you don't take in enough carbs they start eating you muscles, causing fatigue, muscle loss, and a general feeling of tiredness. I would never recommend anyone being on an a low carb diet for sustained periods of time. Ryan __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
