MA experience

[julz122]

I was wondering whats your favourite martial arts experience that you went through? it could be a sparring session, competition, something that happened in one of your classes?

[sirdarksol]

So far, that would have to be the seminar that I attended. Dai-Sensei Yamash-ita Tadashi taught two Ieku (Okinawan boat oar) katas. It was two hours of being yelled at (and about half of the screams were orders for us to "kick sand" in our opponents' eyes)
It was great.

eh, I haven't really had something great so far.
nothing spectacular, except for my plans for the future (Shaolin) will probably be 1,000 times better than anything i have been through. um let me see, something recent i have been through that was great, was at the Dragon Boat Festival here in colorado.
I watched a shaolin performance, and i guess that is what got me into shaolin.
other than that my first time ditching class was to go spar and practice, but i learned from that mistake

Probably an out of class experience, this guy was about 17, and about 6"0 tall. He was one of those football/basketball players and a real ladies man. Anyway we got into a little argument and he tries to tackle me. It really caught me off guard. I put hands in a triangle around my head to stop blows and got up... off balance. He got me again. I got behind him and got him in a choke where you wrap your right arm around the neck of your opponent and grab your left bicep. then locking your legs around the persons waste you lean back and choke the person til he passes out or taps. Anyway he is struggling and all the while punching my face. I am getting pounded. He starts to sag and all the fight goes out of him. I let him go.

You know, I'm actually pretty jealous of this. I love the Ieku but there is no one in my whole freakin country that teaches it. I can't even get one without ordering it from overseas. Sometimes be isolated sucks. Of course it would be pretty easy to just make one or get a tradey to whip one up for me... meh. And thinking about it a video would suffice since I already have pretty good skill with staff-like weapons.

Why am I talking again?

it was probaly the self defence seminar i went to. it was really good learning locks and throws for a change to kicking drills and patterns. in class was probaly sparring when i scored my first clean head kick (a turning kick). the guy was really suprised

mine would be surviving a 7 hours course with 2 5-10 min water breaks - that was it , the rest was pure training I had injured myself aswell I had alot of pain in my head any time I moved it but I survived and stop . Anytime it gets rough I think back to that and think if I can survive that I can survive anything

[kuroitaka]

mine was a small fight a very small one i was knew at full attack after 12 years studying martial arts without being a good fighter in those martial arts i used to do before full attack .
we had a fight he gave me many punches but which came on y forehead and i used to make rough trainings to hardin it so all his punches was nothing to me alot of people was between us so i couldn't see from hwere his hands come or his face . then suddenly i saw his face - as my FUll Attack master says go straight to reduce the distance and to be fast - i gave him a full attack straight punch then when he took it he leaned back and when he was coming i made my self a room to catch his head and give him an elbow but i was to sad after the fight cause he torn away my fav t-shiort

Hmm, well my fav. moment was when I was a blue belt in Tae Kwon Do and I was put up against a 1st degree black belt... Now I have always been good at sparring so being able to spar someone that was a much higher rank got me really pumped up. The sparring match started, and I could tell this black belt was overconfident and wasnt taking me seriously. So I decided to knock those silly thoughts from his smirky face. (Im not overly confident by any means but it kind of annoyed me that he was taking me lightly) He was standing on 1 foot throwing multiply kicks with his other leg, not landing anything but just kicking near me to back me up... Instead I did a quick spinning round kick which connected with the side of his face. This knocked him way off balance and he went flying to the ground. He has taken me seriously since that day.

(Lol sorry if that is a tad jumbled I was on a roll! Thus spelling errors tend to happen when one rants )
