We set ground rules so it's not full contact, its sparring.
First of he get's in his gi & bare foot, I'm in regular clothes & trainers. Ding ding, he gets his foot stomped on so we have to stop for him to put his trainers back on. He keeps trying all these fancy head kicks, spinning jumping crap you can see coming for miles so back off or push forward and he's off balance. I just keep kicking his shins and knees. In the end he calls it quits and his legs are fucked.

If you train for a sport fine, realise it's a sport if you train for self defense you need to keep some realism keep it simple and drill and drill and drill till you don't need to think you just act.


Still. nice Ko
