[@thecoyote4406]

I always enjoy your sparring but I especially enjoyed you sparring Master Dan and John. I was curious how Taekwondo would do against you. It’s heavy on kicks and your Karate is more balanced between kicks and punches. Plus karate black belts tend to control distances better. Master Dan clearly wanted to stay on the outside with you where John is trained in boxing so he’s more comfortable and appears confident in punching range. Does John have a channel? I already subscribe to Taekwondo Lifestyle. I’d love to see you do some more content with John or Master Dan.

Seth I know you guys do a lot of sparring so you frequently go light, I would like to see you guys put on vest, head gear and cups and go a little harder and actually do a lot of the things you faint, it would show what things are actually effective and what would fold under pressure especially with the threat of being thrown on your back or the how quickly high risk moves can be countered.

[@saggybagel1392]

Love watching you fight mike lol. Great video and commentary!

[@fireeaglefitnessmartialart935]

I miss training like that. Been to broke to go to a proper gym, and the one I was going to closed down. Not enough business. One of the combos I've been working on for about a year, is doing one of those tornado roundhouse, but to the leg, and then come up top with the straight. I saw my capoeira instructor do that on a tripod bag once and started practicing it. Haven't tried it in sparring yet. Ik you did the linear inside round with the straight in the video. The only thing is distance management. Since I'm not using moving targets, I'm not expecting a backwards movements, cuz that could potentially help my move, but use it to close distance. Kinda fun.

I get to spare the kids and adults as a Army slash mutt style meaning I have sparred a bunch of styles and never focused on one it is great to learn new things. Seth do you have any videos on point sparring? I promised my grandson I would do a tournament with him when he got his green belt and of course he is a green belt. At 53 I think point sparring is the best for me and I am still learning. With a 30 years gap in training it is funny what you remember without knowing it. Thanks for the video.

[@FredKuneDo]

@@SenseiSeth, this depends a bit. "Kickboxing" is in some countries, like here in Germany or the UK, a synonym for "American Style Kickboxing". And some of the Organsations, like the WAKO, systemized techniques and combinations to learn and have a belt ranking like in Karate, from "White" to "Black Belt". This is sometimes confusing for people, especially when also "Dutch Kickboxing" is around, which also became popular as its own "martial art/combat sport" (but can differ in the techniques more, depending on your Instructor/Gym).
