Do you want to learn to spar safely and effectively?
On Saturday 20th October from 2.00pm – 3.30pm we are holding an FREE Introduction to Sparring Workshop.
Sparring is one of the most enjoyable aspects of martial arts training. However, many people do not understand how to spar effectively and safely. They wrongly think sparring is the same as fighting. This could not be further from truth.
Sparring is about applying your technical skill against a resisting partner in a controlled environment. Notice how I never used the term fighting. Fighting is what you do in a ring or for to defend yourself. Sparring is a tool to improve your skills.
Sparring is also a vital component to becoming a competent martial artist. There are so many positive benefits and skills that you can develop through sparring, if its performed correctly. Here are some of the benefits of Sparring are;
– Develop the correct time to throw techniques (called timing)
– Learn the proper distance to through techniques (called range)
– Sparring is great for developing fitness
– It’s a lot of fun.
– It will develop self confidence
