Don’t lean back when being hit. Stepping into a punch or kick is part of karate, boxing and more. Review your kata. You step and then execute a strike, and yes traditionally all “blocks” are actually strikes. Stepping into a shot at the right time reduces its power tremendously.

I think you're right. I also think leaning out and other types of head movement can be the right thing to do as demonstrated by many combat athletes. My style tends to be a lot more evasive than my peers or teachers.

Sparring but wearing this cumbersome uniform. Just go wear muay thai shorts and start sparring seriously 😂

[@KOVACHOT]

and of course, the muay thai anime keyboard warrior... this sparring is for fun, its not meant to be full contact. ALSO, this "cumbersome" uniform looks badass, and unlike muay thai shorts, it doesnt look fruity 😂😂🤦‍♂🤦‍♂

@@KOVACHOT Hahaha when you cant deny the fact, you simply try to deflect instead, right mr keyboard warrior? Lmfao! Idk about if this cumbersome uniform does really look badass because most of Kyukushin or anyone in serious competition wear boxing/muay thai shorts for max movement. No one uses noob uniform that kind of slows you down 😂😂😂

[@KOVACHOT]

@@iROChakri karate uniforms are made for flexibility and speed, what are you on about, youre actually slow.. also theres kyokushin fighters in GI's rocking some muay thai fighters, its not a "noob uniform" you have nothing to do besides act pissy for no reason, you look foolish
