Answer 1

if you consider yourself superb why would you need to practise?iv'e never known any martial artist that considers themselves "superb".oh i get it the magic word "martial artist".

Answer 2

there is no muscle memory.
it is the neurological pathways from the brain to the muscle, coupled repetition that creates a perfect action. there is the current heresy of muscle memory being spoken as a truth, but just be aware the muscle does not move unless an impulse initiates it. the muscle is devoid of thought, and has no memory.

the brain makes us all think that we can be awesome everyday, even if we dont train. but fighting is not like riding a bike, because you do need regular practice. you get to a stage where you dont need to do stuff that you will not use on the street, and then training gets easier, and more direct. then training can taper off. but if you tournament fight, or train traditional arts and intend ot stay sharp at the dogma, keep training, and ask your instructor what s/he thinks you should do when solo. they are the best at this point, as they know you and your intentions with training.

I don't do taekwondo but my son is 8 and he does. we make him practice a couple times a week- he does kicks, punches, roundhouse, jumping snap, forms, and sit ups and push ups. I can see the difference already in his body, he almost looks like he has a six pack lol he has been doing this for 2 1/2 years. he is a blue belt. so you should keep practicing, when you have to practice kicks and punches have someone hold the pads for you. try to practice a little each day, like one day do kicks, next day do punches, etc. i know i babbled a lot i hope i helped a little. good luck!! What color belt are you?

Answer 4

Well, now that we have the humility issue dealt with. Why practice? Sounds like you are almost perfect now.

To give you a hint, work on your humility. People, especially higher ranking martial artists, don't like braggarts or students with egos the size of Texas. If you want to advance and learn, I mean REALLY learn, put your ego and bragging away.

Answer 5

Yes continue training. A wise man over 2000 years ago said: Learning that doesn't increase decreases".

You go about it by practicing all the things you mentioned & more. Keep practicing the way you have been training.

Answer 6

Blocking in any type of mma fight is pretty decently idiotic.

I'm not talking about covering up or checking kicks, but actually trying to physically block a kick with your hands or do those blocks you see in TKD forms ina real fight just won't work.

If you're fighting MMA, which I'm assuming with the end point of your question then no, stop trying to block ish, learn how to cover up and check. practice how to fight and do damage because that's kinda your aim at this point.

and if you're a TKD guy or in general a striker and whatever fight you're doing allows grappling in their rule set, then learn how to sprawl hard and break clinch. those are the most important things for a striker in MMA.

Answer 7

practice practice practice would make everything better. use a punching bag to practice punching and kicking. for aiming, use a small kicking target and aim. go over the moves slowly and speed it up as you get better.

Answer 8

Never ever quit practicing. When you quit you fail, and you will no longer have the ability.

Answer 9

You should never stop practicing. I would try to learn more moves from others.
