whats your style of sparing?

Answer 1

Muay Thai, same as my style of fighting.

Good question, I guess.

I've never been asked that one before.


I looked at your question again and I think I mis-read it the first time. You are obviously asking a bowling question, not a Martial Arts question. You want to know how to pick up a spare. I thought at first that you were talking about "sparring". Of course there are no "styles" in sparring.

Ok, if you are a right hander, line up as far to the left as you can on the approach. Then as you begin your delivery travel slightly across the the approach to your right. Release the ball directly over the third arrow from the right and you should pick up your spare, that is if you are trying to pick up the ten pin.

That's my style of "SPARING".

Answer 2

I blend a combination of ideas. First of all, since I have long legs, a thin frame, and excellent flexibility, I have adapted my style to accomodate for this, so what works for me may not be as effective for everyone.

I use a lot of in and out techniques to set up my opponent and to test their strengths and weaknesses early in the match by changing elevation, timing, stance, and technique to see how they react to a few initial attacks. During this early match period, I also test to see how they react to drawing in techniques, to see if I can use a counter easily on them. This time also helps to see holes in their guard (for example, do they drop hands when they kick, or do they expose the gut when they strike).

After initially testing them out, I will begin to place some of my preset combos to set up a devastating technique. Also, I will begin to really lay into them now, using more powerful techniques to scare them off a bit. If I can take my opponent's wind, all the better (we don't use chest protectors). I also use a lot of variations of the rope a dope. For example, I will work several high section roundhouse kicks, then slide in a low section front kick.

I will counter fiercely as they come in, so that I stay on the offensive. Counterstriking seems to be where I make most of my points. Most of my counters use 45 degree angles to get off the line and lay into my opponent.

I often use a lot of duck and weave defense tactics over blocking. I find it is easier to move my head 1/2 inch, then my hands 9 inches. For me, the key to sparring is footwork and timing.

Answer 3

My style of sparring is called "Blood thirsty". I gorge myself on gummy bears before the fight. That way if they get me on the ground in a grapple situation, I just release the gummy gas and its an instant knock out. Many people don't fully understand the potential of passing gas in a fight. Then I do some ridiculous acrobatics to confuse them... Then I come in with the thousand needle palm strike of doom or a Dim Mak technique to render them helpless.... when all is said and done I throw a Hadooken at them and the screaming fireball finishes them off.

Its quite a show really.

Answer 4

whatever comes to me iv done shotokan for 12 years and never once had to think how to spar the better ur taught the the more freely you will fight and thats what opponents hate the most coz they never know what ur gonna do and i havent lost many fights so it works 4 me

Answer 5

Im an evasive counterstriker. Usualy stick to one hitters. When I get close I tend to arm lock ppl. I'm good on the ground as well. Also I'm good at screwing people up when they try to close the gap so what I tend to do is hit them back off hit them back off so on and so on so they have to keep closing the gap. I think pretty much the oposite of the previous guy. My philosophy is the greatest offense is a good defense

PS i do drunken style well I do a bunch of stlyes but drunken is one of them

Answer 6

I usually use a lot of teep (push kicks) and fake teeps to keep opponent at distance. I would wait for them to try punches so I can kicks their thighs or ribs. If they try to rush in, I would do knee kick (raise my leg like as if I'm gonna to do roundhouse but my shin would be in front of me so my knee hit them in stomach) or clinch and knees the hell out of them.

That's usually the stragery I use.

Answer 7

Effective.

Answer 10

Bruce Lee wrote a book, "Jeet Kune Do" that taught me to relax more when sparring so that you can make your movments more fluid and they are harder to see ahead of time. This would probably work well to improve sparring.
