I want to do the sparring like in the movie "Best of the Best"....freakin awesome! And then, I want to do the sparring like in "Karate Kid".... And then, if i"m not too tired, I would do it like in the movie "Sidekicks" and once all that is done....of course....KUMITE! KUMITE! KUMITE! Brian
In Reply to the original post .... switch to Olympic style so long as there is a good school ... your right about point sparring its lame and definitely a step back. I've watched both Karate and TKD tournaments with Point scoring, and especially when your dealing with controlled striking (not full contact) you get people being disqualified for hurting their opponent.... I really hated seeing the better fighter loose for no reason .... utterly ridiculous
