View Full Version : i need help blocking fenix 04-17-2008, 10:25 PM if anyone can post some links or post somthing 2 help me it would be a big help i know how 2 block but not very good so plz help thank you Gary Crawford 04-17-2008, 10:44 PM What style are you learning? fenix 04-18-2008, 05:49 PM im not learning any style because i belive in what bruce lee said be formless so i dont have a form i like 2 learn how other ppl fight and put what i like about it into my fighting the proble is most people i see fighting arent very good at blocking Taiji_Mantis 04-18-2008, 05:50 PM Yes, please. A little more information would be quite helpful. Are you trying to block in point sparring? Continuous? Contact? What style are you practicing, because there are infinite variations on the "block." fenix 04-18-2008, 06:59 PM oh im want to block for full contact im going to be in mma tournaments soon kind of like ufc but not as good but i need to know how 2 block if i get in a fight on the street 2 because thats where u really need 2 watch out Touch Of Death 04-18-2008, 07:16 PM Even Bruce Lee trained in a style for twenty years before discarding it. Any of us could help you but we would have to teach a bit of our system. Sean jks9199 04-18-2008, 07:18 PM I'm surprised nobody beat me to this... (Touch of Death DID beat me... by moments! We cross posted...) Bruce Lee moved from structured to formless; he kept what was (to him) best of it. You need the proper structure and body dynamics to develop the skills you need, and that, almost without exception, takes a teacher or coach who can look at what you're doing, and show you the right and wrong of it. Blocking is a complex art in and of itself... Are you having trouble seeing incoming strikes? Recognizing movement? Identifying the line or target of the attack you need to block on? Making an effective block that'll actually stop something without hurting yourself? (Frank Shamrock can tell you how important that is!) Or something else entirely? Without being able to see you and see what you're doing or not doing, it's hard to offer you advice. FieldDiscipline 04-19-2008, 09:35 AM Fenix, many people who train every day arent that good at blocking. You need a school, and many many hours of practice under the guidance of an instructor. Xue Sheng 04-19-2008, 09:41 AM I will not go into what Bruce Lee did since it has been covered quite well already. But I think what you are asking about in this post and your other one on the same topic is Chi Sau which is part of Wing Chun and not something you just jump into and learn. From what I am told Siu Lum Tao is first and I have also been told by those that went further (as Bruce Lee certainly did) that if you are doing Chi Sau when all you have is Siu Lum Tao against someone who has Chum Kiu you are going to loose. There is a lot you need to learn to get to where Bruce Lee was in order to get to his style of blocking and Siu lum Tao, Chum Kiu and Chi sau are only the beginning. Oh and there is Bil Jee too. |
