sparring

[kuk sool won]

Being a counterfighter is definately the hardest of the three. You really do need to outclass your opponent and can't rely on getting a lucky punch in.

Though this is by far NOT the best example of counterfighting but it still does display some of the gears in which is needed to fight on the counter sucessfully. Skip to the second round about 8/9 minutes in.

Although this was a mismatch and Masato completely destroyed him especially with leg kicks he still does counterfight in parts. Could anyone find a better example and post it please?

This video will show all of the differnt types of fighting. All are effective just watch the tech they use. This is WTF olympic style also this was the last summer olympics in athens. There are a couple steve lopez clips ^_^

Yea being prey is very stressful if that is the word? but after i while i know that when i practice with my sparring partners (not in torniment) when i try to counter and only counter i tend to freeze up because i am not moving around trying differnt positions.

Exactly some times that happens with me also.

The best idea for me not saying it is going to work for every 1 is i attack right from the begining then 2nd round i start off with a strong combo attack then go into defence playing mind games is the best way to win in my eyes.

Hehehe it's funny because my stratagy was to get 2 points with a turning kick right off the back but the girl came in stronger than I expected so I moved around a little bit, tricks here and there but I only loss by 1 point (sooo close).Anyway, yeah mind games work.

my last torniment was a month ago. I won by K.O, The whole fight i think i might have countered 1 time and that was with a reverse side kick that made him go to his knees. I later in the round hit him with my right leg that was in back into his nose when he was lunging in and broke it : / didnt mean to win like that & i didnt need it either the score was 14 - 2 made me look like a head hunter
