Help Me TODAY!?

Question

Karate practice is today and yesterday was mock testing and I missed the part of sparring do I bring my gear?

Answer 1

Yes, you ultimately would bring your gear, because they might make you catch up on what you missed yesterday today. Also, you must take it , to show your responsible and prepared, which always Martial Artists are and should be. When your sparring make sure you always take it with you anyways to save yourself from injuries and so forth. Yes, take it and catch up on what you need to catch up on, and begin learning instruction would be the best way to go.

On more on Sparring and Head gear :Sparring is a form of training common to many martial arts. Although the precise form varies, it is relatively free-form fighting, with enough rules, customs, or agreements to make injuries unlikely. By extension, argumentative debate is sometimes called "verbal sparring".

The physical nature of sparring naturally varies with the nature of the skills it is intended to develop; sparring in a striking art such as Savate will normally begin with the players at opposite corners of a ring and will be stopped if they clinch. Sparring in a grappling art such as judo might begin with the partners holding one another and end if they separate.

The organization of sparring matches also varies. If the participants know each other well and are friendly, it may be sufficient for them to simply play, without rules, referee, or timer. If the sparring is between strangers, or there is some emotional tension, or the sparring is being evaluated, it may be appropriate to introduce formal rules and have an experienced martial artist supervise the match.

Sparring is normally distinct from fights in competition. The goal of sparring is normally the education of the participants, while a competitive fight seeks to determine a winner.

The educational role of sparring is a matter of some debate. In any sparring match, precautions of some sort must be taken to protect the participants. These may include wearing protective gear, declaring certain techniques and targets off-limits, playing slowly or at a fixed speed, forbidding certain kinds of trickery, or one of many other possibilities. These precautions have the potential to change the nature of the skill that is being learned. For example, if one were to always spar with heavily padded gloves, one might come to rely on techniques that risk breaking bones in one's hand. Most schools recognize this problem but value sparring nonetheless because it forces the student to improvise, to think under pressure, and to keep their emotions under control.

Sparring has different names and different forms in various schools. Some schools prefer not to call it sparring, as they feel it differs in kind from what is normally called sparring.

* In Chinese martial arts, sparring is usually trained at first as individual applications, eventually combined as freestyle training of long, medium and short range techniques. See chin na, pushing hands.
* In Japanese martial arts, a sparring-like activity is usually called randori. In judo, this is essentially one-on-one sparring; in some forms of aikido it is a formalized form of sparring where one aikidoka defends against many attackers.
* In Korean martial arts, (Taekwondo), sparring is called Kyorugi by the WTF or Matsoki by the ITF. In the World Taekwondo Federation, the majority of the attacks executed are kicking techniques. Whereas the ITF will encourage the use of both hands and feet and is closer to realistic combat. The ITF generally do not spar with headguards or Taekwon-Do Hogus.
* In Karate, sparring is called kumite.
* Taekwondo Sparring Champions
* In Capoeira, the closest analogue to sparring is playing in the roda.
* In Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu sparring is commonly called rolling

Protection and Defense: The most common use of headgear is as protection for the head and eyes.

A baseball cap is used by sports players to keep the sun out of their eyes, and by some chefs to keep the hair out of their food. Traditionally, silk chef's hats are used for this purpose. A rain hat has a wide rim to keep the rain out of the wearer's face. Some traditional types of hat such as the Mexican sombrero also serve this purpose.
A "chèche" or "tagelmoust" turban, worn by men and women in Saharan Africa as protection against wind and sand

Thanks for your time and Good Luck.

Answer 2

I have a confession to make. Were I live in Scotland, grey squirrels are the enemy because they infect the native red squirrels with a disease they themselves are immune to. And because I once reported a sighting of a grey a few years ago, I was initiated into the Secret Squirrel Police and issued with traps, rubber gloves,scalpels pipettes, little bottles, jiffy bags and the address of a laboratory I am supposed to send blood samples to of any squirrels that I have caught and killed. I couldn't do that. I did trap one once, but I took him down the valley to a village where I know he would have plenty of friends, and let him go.
