Some people are more afraid of the potential hit than the actual hit. I worry more about going to the dentist than actually being there. Sometimes, in my sparring classes, I'll have one of the fighters just execute defensive maneuvers. They always report that when they thought about it defensively, the fight seemed to slow down and they were better able to find vulnerabilities. I agree with you; learning to take a hit and still fight on is an important lesson - I think that is one of the benefits of sparring, especially at tournaments.Eric Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12837513790950395955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3812140053300767334.post-28441141315560870872009-04-14T23:18:00.000-04:002009-04-14T23:18:00.000-04:00Some of what you said is true.

A lot of people in a fight are trying to think out there attacks and not just react. So the distance your seeing is the fight or flight at work. What you need to is make sure there not afraid of being struck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
