When does reactionary positioning become too hollywood? By JTKenpo - 07-27-2008 08:59 AM

=========

I think the title says it all but there have been quite a few discussions in and around the idea of reaction from your uke being hit. Some have no reaction and some move like they were just hit with a sledge hammer. So my question for discussion is when do we enter reality and at what point do we leave it and become a hollywood fight scene?

To start things off I will say with fair confidence that everyone reading this has either been in a sparring situation or a real life physical confrontation. Now there are times you hit some one with what you think will surely end them at that very point and the strike glances off and has no effect; and on the opposite end of the spectrum there are times that a simple jab to gadge distance ends up knocking the opponent to the floor.

To put simply in your opinion what is not enough and what is too much.
