We have Sparring Kata in Ashihara karate, this adds to the training. very nice to do this Fight speed
correct me if im wrong, i guess they train the drills till it became part of their muscle memory so when real fight comes it will react towards it automatically
That's correct, Ashihara Karate is Jissen Karate. Jissen means "real combat" they have discarded the traditional kata for this type of kata instead
oooh, tats very similar to CMA 2 mans forms, is great as it creates muscle memory n all, this might only appear in my place but after a while they take granted of the drills or forms n train it without the intention of really hitting the partner so they never experience the fear or the adrenaline rush in a real fight. when the real fight come they forgot everything
Ashihara Karate is a Full Contact Style so when we spar for real it is at FULL contact so we do get use to hitting and being hit If you notice, no gloves or foot protectors
Haha I understand completely, when I had to have surgery on my nose and sinus from a unchecked knee, had to take time off work because I'm client facing. No ooo not the face [emoji12]
