Hey i was thinking, if you have a friend, and he does some kicks, nothing too like heavy thats gonna break, something lightish on your forearm, and you block it. As in your in a stance and you arnt attacking, your just blocking, and hes the one attacking, and hes trying to get you hurt and get away from your blocks but your blocking as much as you can, is that a good idea?
As in it can get you used to blocking, condition your forearms, get used to reaction times, all that stuff....
Obviously this is done along side normal sparring. But what do you think? Or are there better alternatives to improve your blocks. And i dont mean just hands, like using your shins too. Like they do a roundhouse, you block with any means possible, that can be with your hands, your shins, your forearms etc....

If possible, you should avoid a kick instead of blocking it, because it will hurt your forearm if the kick is strong. You only block if it's out of necessity, and not by choice. If you can avoid it, do so.  |

The concept i much used in martial arts, its about one attacker and one defender, defender blocks,dodges etc whatever is seen as necessary. Its a way to learn what works for you, and what don´t. To begin with its usually, attacker attacks once. As you progress, attacker is required to do bigger and bigger combos to increase the pressure on the defender.

well yeah, what im proposing is one guy defends with everything, other guy attacks with everything. Its kinda like sparring but different. Just so that you get used to one type then you can switch... then bring them both together in the real thing. |

However, you still have to make sure that you block/intercept/dodge attacks in the right manner. |

shuffling. it's a move where you quickly shift your front leg and back leg. it allows you to kick fast and hit fast, both with respect to arms and legs. it's a nice way skill to use when reacting to a move. practice this. it's very basic, but gives spring to your hits. --- yes, i remembered it.  |

However, you still have to make sure that you block/intercept/dodge attacks in the right manner. yes basically so like i was thinking rounds of 2 minutes where one guy defends for 2 minutes, and then one guy attacks for 2 minutes, then the bell rings or whatever and then they instantly change and the roles switch and then for another 2 minutes then after that rest about 1 minute. mercnill could you link me to a video of shuffling, so i can ask my master about it so he can show me how to do it. |
