At some points the fear is letting my coach and the team your representing down

[@kayleycini]

My fear in sparring was getting hit/badly injured. I started when I was 8 and now I'm 18, my sensei made me sparr against higher belts/people with more experience than me. I always used to get hit badly but I always tried to block the hits. One of the injuries was a broken leg and a dislocated shoulder, this all happened when I was around 9 so I was terrified to continue but I did, I managed to get through my fear so to others, don't give up

[@priyalkumar4256]

Oh wow that was so brave of you ❤❤ I mean I would actually be like omg I’m gonna die, I do taekwondo and I’m a white belt and I haven’t done sparring yet soooo what u did out there was awesome 👏 ❤

[@lovicatuwu6383]

Thank you, I'm always scared before practice and this helps a lot. Don't give up!

[@raymondaviles8921]

What helped you because I struggle with the same thing

[@lovicatuwu6383]

@@raymondaviles8921 Mmm, I cannot give you good advice, but what I do is thinking "this is what you are here for", literally forget you fear and focus on what you will do, also improving speed and arm defense. I think you have to trust your skills and know that if you get hurt you won't die. Sorry I can't give you better advice.

[@Yassi_gorl]

​​@@lovicatuwu6383 was afraid even since I get into karate, im afraid pf sparring thats why i stopped and get back again And then I tried sparring I was hitted so hard on my boobs that leaves me mini trauma 😂 But the truth is I joined karate so I'll be strong. I consider myself weak and my family, someone I know really takes care of me Doesnt want me to go any danger so I grew up being scaredy cat My unclw told me I have potential especially Im tall my legs are long I need to use it to attack but I cant im afraid 😢

[@oumaima.s3891]

Thank you so much for this video! Sometimes I’m in my head too much for sparring and overthinking and fear are two of my most crippling things in a match. This has been a huge help thank you again

[@MountainAdventures1]

At first I loved sparring, then I suffered two extremely painful rib injuries, and now I dread sparring. The injuries were so annoying because they each took 2 months to heal, and during that time I couldn't really train, stretch, or do much of any physical activity. Even trying to sleep was a nightmare. I just can't have that happen again.

[@ilahayama5399]

I know what you mean, it took me a while to get back after fracturing my ankle.

[@mohammadrasol7420]

To me it was something much less i was pinned with someone larger than me but i was confident until he hit me hard, and i was a beginner i was used to touch sparring but afte r that hit i overthought and got hit multiple times

[@janayb7400]

As a white belt who isnt sparring yet but feeling a lot of doubt, this was helpful. Thank you

[@ilovehomies]

trust me its not as bad as it looks. im here to get over the fear of sparring higher belts but im pretty comofortable with one or two belts above mine

[@shivaunmcgoff146]

I’m a female green belt doing WTF taekwondo and this was extremely helpful as I just got into hogu. Just like performances, I hear you saying that prep and training will get you ready and being fearless will make it happen. Make mistakes and trust your armor!

[@BlackBeltSamery]

Best of luck in your training! :)

[@eshasah6154]

Thank you so much. I will definitely keep your advice in mind and hope to be less scared for my next sparing.

[@BlackBeltSamery]

Thanks for watching! Best wishes :)

[@franciscosamaniego729]

Thank you for sharing your experience

[@garycollins865]

Good vid. I’ve learned to just try to improve my techniques, recognize my good points and get advice on my developmental needs, and work on that- one at a time. Thx. Got two of your nice tee shirts- going to have to buy a hoodie.

[@samuelmahmud1909]

You're absolutely right I suffer from them all just starting out sparring thank you very much👍

[@aimeet6681]

Thank u for making thing video! It really helped me to c that I’m not the only one who’s scared about sparring. I think my main thing is that I fear getting hurt or hurting someone else and the fact that ppl r watching me do it. I never used to fear ppl watching me do stuff like sports when I was a kid but I fear it now a little. But I’ll definitely b following ur steps to help me get over the fear hopefully!!

[@BearTechNation]

Me? I was a yellow tag when I had my first sparring match. I couldn't even kick to the hogu. However, I just went for it. I was full of fear and I did it anyway. Somehow, I did a back turning kick or something to score a head shot! How? I just don't know! But I would recommend to learn as much as you can, train on the days when you don't have Taekwondo... Keep working on your flexibility! Oh! Wearing a groin guard enabled me to fear less! Ha ha! It's true! Power to You! Cheers, Samery!

[@BlackBeltSamery]

That’s awesome! Keep it going!

Thank you! I really need help going against people that are big and stronger than me by a lot. BTW I am very small. Thank you

[@Azami0001]

I dont do taekwondo but I somewhat feel more confident now. I love sparring but at the same time I do worry about the possible injuries I might get in the future. The way I spar in my art mostly focuses on hitting the hands and body with only gloves as our only protection.

[@mohinidevoli4821]

Can you make a video for tip and tricks of fighting for red belts

[@hamburgervulture5789]

Hi, I just joined my schools after school Taekwondo program, do you have any tips for getting better at kicking (all types of kicks) as I don’t have a ton of power in the kicks that I have learned so far.

[@slothguy4830]

1. Train them milion Times and for sure it will be more fast and powerful 2. Remember to turn your second foot while kicking 3. It May Look bad but tbh im 14 yr Old got low kick from 7 yr Old and i felt it like hmm acidentally hit something So dont worry about power 4. Ur whole body should kick not only leg

[@thetaoofliving6032]

I will come visit you someday!!!

[@jayjake5966]

Yeah, I in Taekwondo also and I'm a black belt too and I'm good at sparring but this one kid he a little bit better than me and he will always kick in the soft part on ur body and I can't breath that much in that part

Hey! I'm also an NCTA collegiate national champion, 2 years in a row (Amanda West - 73+ kgs). I don't understand when you mention the "getting to travel" component, nor the U.S. National Team. Collegiate is quite different from actual Nationals. Or do you mean you're on the NCTA all-star team?

Master the foundations of the techniques, then you will not have fears going for sparring.

[@extabyte7331]

My fear of sparring is being not good enough and me not hitting my turning kicks idk why :)

[@empwron9069]

I scare of being hit and hurt. But I don’t scare of being hit by a black belt. I scare of being hit by a below black belt. They don’t go for points, they go for destroying opponent’s legs :) especially white belt not being able to kick high, even for kicking trunk. They all throw their kick to hurt people, to break legs. Throwing their kicks without power controlling. Yeah I can absolutely counter them, but take damage is not what I want in a sport. Kicking legs as a low calf as you see in mma is always the best way of kicking. But I do taekwondo as a sport.

[@Antonio-jg7fm]

Mma

[@LighthouseSun]

Honestly, I just stand still when sparring starts. Like completely frozen, which is also surprising bc im pretty good at regular training sessions. I just DON'T ATTACK. No idea why...so disappointing..
