Sensei Noia had us work on our sparring drills today.
All sparring…
The first drill we worked on was shift in and attack while our partner stood there as a target. We then did a similar drill but our partner could block our attacks. After that, our partner could block and counter our attacks and we changed sides so that both all got a chance to do each drill.
Free sparring…
Next, Sensei Noia had us test our skills, from the drills we were working on, with some free sparring drills. I took Sensei’s advice from last week and waited for my partner to attack me instead of me chasing him down. It worked a little bit better but I still have more to learn.
Next, Sensei had all of us get into a circle. From there, he told one of us to get in the center and he called one of us to go and spar. After a few different people, another person would go into the middle and the do the same thing. I still need some more work at this point but I am starting to get an idea of what doesn’t work for me.
