Karate Sparring Video

Welcome back! Did I tell you I love comments? Very few people write... Be original :)

We occasionally have informal sparring training sessions at the dojo. This is great for me because the people that attend are generally better than I am, and very accomodating (they don’t hit me too hard ).

We filmed the last session.

Joel

Joel got a silver medal in the WKF World Championships. His expertise shows on a few occasions in the video, but he is being too nice to me for you to always see just how incredibly fast he is.

I’m not complaining.

Jean-Marie

Jean-Marie divides his practice time between karate and boxing, which shows in his style. His strong point is a very quick eye and long reach. This makes it difficult to get close enough to score.

Jean Marie is 43, which by rights makes him a “veteran”, but most 43 year olds I know would love to have his endurance.

Sendene

Sendene is a 19 yr old powerhouse, and shows great potential. He will be integrating the junior team this year.

He’s good at sweeping. That’s just annoying

Charles

That’s me. You know what they say: train with better than yourself and you’ll learn more than if you didn’t. That’s why I tag along!

Taking video of your sparring sessions is a great idea. By watching you can evaluate your strengths and weaknesses. Then take a scenario from your match and ask “How could I do better in that situation?” Then take it to the mat and try it out.
