I should have been more clear on what I meant. In our school we are allowed to spar with contact as long as we do not strike the "off limits" area such as head, face, groin, and other vital points. We are advised to control our kicks but be firm. My art is TKD and of course we have to display our skills. Take downs are allowed. We have pre arranged sparring where our Grandmaster or masters advise us on what type of techniques that they want to see, then there are free style sparring where we spar who we want and use all of the techniques that we are taught. If there is too much force in the sparring then there is a time out for both participants, if it continues then they are banned for the week from sparring until they learn it is not a match of "kill or be killed" attitude. I just need to know how to keep my emotions on a level of control and not come out sparring as if I am in a street fight. I have been told that I need to control my emotions and maybe my spirit is too eager. Is this better? I really would like some advise.

Veuleman" To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Subject: [The_Dojang] Training Routine Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Jye, The occasional training I do get I spend on the stuff I need the most help with. My basics work I get teaching classes, sometimes I just call out techniques, but for the most part I do them with the students, that helps keep those looking good. Also, usually when I am working advanced stuff with my higher rank guys, there is usually an odd number of students, so I grab someone and even things up. This makes it hard to watch for students mess ups or to praise good technique, but I have gotten good at it. One thing that I hope will kill two birds with one stone is I am making a brown/black belt only class, which will help them and me. It is hard making a training schedule for yourself, but you can always suppliment the lack of personal training time by making better use of class time, and of course don't ever be afraid to step out in the back yard and do some stuff even if you only have like 15 minutes to kill.

This will probably sound like an odd response, but I was recently made aware of a study that was completed regarding the degree of force one perceives that they are applying in a given situation. Apparently the results of the study suggest that any given person will typically underestimate the amount of force they are using when compared to actual force used. As I write this I am also wondering if the converse is true and that people who are struck or grabbed overestimate the amount of force used on them. I suppose it is legit to expect that the teacher will serve as a moderator of sorts and let you know that you are coming on too strong. However, there is also the matter of whether you are coming on too strong for your sex, for your rank, for the sort of drill you are doing or what have you. Yeah, I know. These variables are suppose to make any difference, but often they do. As I close this out I'm thinking that there isn't any truely great method for moderating your aggression with some slick 1-2-3 method, not when you report knowing that you tend to get rougher when sparring with the guys. Sounds to me like you are getting exactly what you are setting yourself up for. FWIW.

Well, it is difficult to tell you not to take things so seriously, esp if your reason for training is for street self-defense. I had one friend that was a -serious- sparring opponent. His line was "which one's the ref, cause I'm killing the other guy!". :) But from this distance it sounds like you might need to relax more. You tire less easily, become more fluid and flowing, and hopefully see more openings. When too stressed up one will frequently spar with too much power, be very rigid, perhaps even suffer from a bit of tunnel vision. Not sure if that is what is happening to you, but... How to relax? Do more sparring. Spar with friends outside of class or after class. Work on sparring drills with friends, etc. Just a thought...
