Sparring at Authentic Karate Training Center 6/22

[@Staroy]

Are all these kids black belts?

[@andrewobrienkarate]

The kids with a white stripe through their belts are junior black belts. We've got a young looking 16 year old who just earned full black belt.

Extremely well controlled and technical, just how students should learn. I coach the same way in my Kyokushin/freestyle lessons. OSU

[@natef1212]

what kind of sparring is this. zero energy, going easy, no contact, yeah this will not prepare you for a fight. adn these are black belts/?? joke

[@belikewater2413]

Clearly you’re not a karateka or fighter for if you were you’d see the absolute control these students have. I’m sure they can turn it on when needed.

You, sir, are a dolt.

[@Viral-Hit-v5q]

its sparring not a real fight. Going all out could cause injury.

[@-MSJ]

This is light controlled sparring, here you don’t rip each other heads of but rather test your techniques and find out what works and what doesn’t. Also if they were to do hardcore sparring then they would end up with CTE which is a brain injury that disturbs your ability to walk, talk and move properly.
