Martial Art Sparring question

[Sakabatou]

Todat during the Leadership portion of my martial arts class we did a few sparring matches, and I whent up against my best friend. When we sparred it was almost as if it were like how those people fight in that anime Dragon Ball Z... He kept punchin really fast and I kept blocking his punches.. Eventually the score was tied up 2 to 2 and we both clashed (hit eachother for a point at the same time so nobody got a point), and then the second time I accidentally hit his head and he hit my chest at the same time... This thierd time he tripped and his head was open for a shot and I could punch and easily get a point and win the match. My sensei said this was fair and I could attack when he was down but I hesitated because I'm not sure if its right to do... Should I have just let him get up or what? I mean the back of his heal was injured today so he wasnt at his greatest... Should I have been a bit merciful? lol

No, in Dragon Ball Z they also fight to death

[Sakabatou]

lol true.. well, the way they fight in DBz. my friend is.. well.. you wouldnt say average.. x.x i was lucky to even block all of his punches lol but anyways if an opponent falls should I not go in for a hit or what? lol

[Khabbi]

sure this was karate class ? or a anime dream with reverse blade katanas ?

Maybe he attacked you cause your Dojo is stealing students from his dojo


ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

lol i think you misinterperated. This was karate class, not a dream. lol my reverse blade katana is a wall hanger, I dont use it anymore.. whenever I did use it it was just holding it to get used to the weight. lolAnd I was just using a simaly/metaphor or whatever. Don't you know how to comare and contrast? lol and yes I can seperate fantasy from reality. i'm not stupid. (and if you say "well you think blah blah reverse blade katana and dojo running then your wrong, or you missed the post where I said I thought about it and figured out you were all right so i changed my opinion)

[Shiro]

You ARE stupid! All this time we've been trying to tell you that anime is NOT a good basis for martial arts and you compare a karate event to DBZ?!? Think about it......

[Sakabatou]

... i was making a comparison! I don't see everything I do in a fictional way. x.x

[twix]

what about electrocuting your opponent like pikachu? :devious:

[Sakabatou]

hahaha that would be funny.. no wait better! Intive a guy in a giant pikachu costume to run to the ring and squeezey hug the opponent. hahaha I'd fall down laughing if that happened.

Hey don't worry about the other posts Sakabatou. My nephew likes his anime and it is quite funny to watch him pretend. And I know what your saying, damn when I was small I thought Super man was real and I tried to jump off my moms kitchen counter to see if I could fly also. But I still read comics when at the office. Just to keep the kid in me alive but I'm to afraid to get married. But yeah its cool is'nt it to have a goal to reach, why if you creat a super speed sword art I'll stop doing kick boxing and be your first student. Coffee hot the way I like it. :smoker:
