I'm not interested in sport karate. Not really.
So when we started to work on some sport techniques in class tonight I was a bit disappointed and part of my mind was dismissive of what was being shown to us.
Lesson 1: You can't always choose the nuggets of useful info that may get thrown your way.
However, just as I was getting frustrated, I was quickly taught that I should be taking note, since sport karate is largely about deceiving your opponent and that deception allows you to land your technique.
Just like pre-emption on the street.
I have bad "tells" too. My partner saw me coming a mile off and each time told me why.
"You're taking a breath before each attack,"
"Now you're dipping into the movement"
"Your punching arm is telegraphing because you're winding it up"
"Your eyes widen each time you're about to launch"
Working on strikes infront of a mirror while staying relaxed should assist in patching some of these flaws.
