sparring

And then there is the spazzed out one who digs in regardless of reaction...

This one might fit under the "Aggressor" category, but personally I see a difference in the way this individual operates than your standard aggressor.

"The Encroucher" -- tends to constantly pressure you with his forward pressure but is not an uncontrolled blitz fighter. Likes to stay within your comfort zone to keep you off balance and generally picks his shots... which are usually heavy.

The opponent decides what I do...with some I have to be more on my toes, defend more, others, I have to take the iniciative...and then there is the odd one, you pull all stops and hope you live to tell the tale

do you think it will differ between rule sets?

[ITFDespoja]

i agree but it also depends what sparrin rules are u talkin about?

[GranFire]

You forgot the *dead fish* barely doing anything...

many people including the likes of 'superfoot' recognise 3 mainstream styles of sparring. These Include:

1. The Aggressor - Constantly on the front foot, prodominantly blitzing

2. The counterfighter - Rarely attackng first, waiting for the opponent to make a mistake

3. The runner - using the sparring space effectively to avoid any on comming attacks whilst starting their own.

Do you agree with this or would you have different groups?
