Introduction to Sparring Seminar | 9th August 2014
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.
We define sparring as the “technical application of skill in a controlled manner.”
Notice how I didn’t used the term fighting. Fighting is what you do in a ring or for to defend yourself.
Sparring is simply a tool we use 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
