Visualization. In a very dark area or blindfolded and fight imaginary opponents . Learn how to miss powerful strikes, so you can recover quickly and not hyper extend your joints if you do miss one of your " I was sure I was going to connect strikes" without losing your balance it hurting yourself. Fight a young tree . Many soft limbs hanging, angles and levels weaving in and out around the hanging branches and so on. Your imagination 🤷 many of us practiced alone without available like minded partners occasionally.

I found it very useful what you have said so far. I really like the idea in a fight to be pretty relaxed and enjoy it. - A lot of people I fought were scared or had other emotions instead of just enjoying the fight. It is just as important to try out lots of things and find yourself and your own techniques that work. Another one: With larger opponents, it is important to stay more closely rather than standing too far away.

I have limited experience but I'd say breathing and stamina management is important.

great tips, I also struggle with tip 5 the most. Not consciously but just kind of getting into this "excited/tense" mode as soon as someone tries to (even in a friendly way) hit me 😅.... I guess the solution then is tip 6, just do it more often, always reflect during and after the session, as soon as you recognize the tenseness, try to relax.... will definitely give it a try

Very good tips. I must admit, back in my earlier days, I did struggle a bit with number 5. I wasn’t controlled enough and sparred like I was fighting rather than training. Took me a new dojo and a more sensible sensei to fix it, but it’s figured out. Great video man, keep up the good work. Osu🥋

Great tips mate. #4 is one I always try to push onto students. Stick to what combos they like or are good at.

Leave your ego at the door! If your partner scores on you, do not fall in the trap that you need to reciprocate. Some places spar very hard but in my humble opinion is not the best way to learn

Great tips. Also, if you are training in a large dojo, try to have as many different sparring partners as possible. Don’t just stick with the same partners all the time. Go with people who are higher and lower ranks, males and females. The more you can mix the better.

How to balance between going too soft and too hard? Also, how to deal with that partner that just likes to take things a bit too far?
@jkgardiner8 ай бұрын
It's important to both agree the level of intensity and what is allowed and what's not. If they don't adhere to it. Don't partner with them again.

I did karate for years when young, then some other martial sports. Sorry to say, but Karate is missing combinations. To many single attacks. And the defence is to open. Karate should not be static in their system. The sport should develop over the years.

You just went to a macdojo. Not a ny serious karateschool would teach you to attack with a single attack.
