The Last Person.....

You know, that's a funny subjuect. I see the same moves in the sparring rings irregardless of styles performing it. I don't hink what you try and incorporate will matter. In the ring, you'll move the same. A subconscious mind takes over and controls the movements, which are preprogrammed, for the most part. That's why everyone looks the same when playing tag.

Yes, I totally agree on that point. In my case, why would I do anything different until they figure out how to stop what I'm already doing. I do want to learn more leg checking and sweeping. I know it, but I don't use it, eventhough I see myself in position to do so all the time ... just doesn't come out, but it will eventually.

Now, I bet, if it was for real, you would do those things without thinking about it.

I'd hope so, one of the issues with point, or no contact sparring, you just never really know until it happens. I'd like to think that when I'm not worried about injuring someone, it will come out.

 

[Hand Sword]

It will! That's part of the programming thing. Those things are practiced during real self defense techniques and are stored in that part of your mind, coming out when that stimuli is present. The sparring stimuli brings out the other stuff. Conscious effort can be used here but usually in the opening moments of a clash. Once it's going, what is comfortable is resorted to. At least that's what I've seemed to find.

Not bad at all. Hanging out and watching the sun come up, enjoying the peace and quiet How about you? Did you have a good weekend?

 

[Hand Sword]

I hear ya. I spent the weekend doing some stupid tests for work. I could have done them when I was at work, mind you, but I was lazy and I procrastinated (read: posting on MT) instead. :lol:

 

[Hand Sword]

It's ok. You're allowed.

As long as it gets done, that's all that matters.

 

[Carol]

It's ok. You're allowed.

Yup, that's how my boss sees it too.

I'm going to drop off and get some sleep. Catch you tomorrow night Mr. Sword!

 

[Hand Sword]

OK. Well GoodNI--ah--morning to you! Sleep well Miss Kaur!

 

[Hand Sword]

Take care everyone! Talk to everyone later.
