Bouncing in shotokan

[maofas]

They were point fighters. I know that for sure. Just what do you think my argument is? And do you mean just in this thread or in the 2 or 3 threads where foxguitar takes on all comers he feels have slighted shotokan? I came into this thread asking if fox' position was really that point karate is great because it eventually might train an attribute or two that's useful in real fighting. I'm not going after shotokan in particular but any type or low contact start stop point fighting.

My lack of shotokan experience really has nothing to do with anything in this thread.

Dude...the title of the thread is "Bouncing in Shotokan".

As far as the point-fighting thing goes, it seems while arguing with Fox you've wandered into a sidetopic you don't know much about. I might agree with "pointfighting sucks" (that is your thesis right?), but you're not scoring any points (teehee) by supporting your argument with faulty evidence.

When I WAS point sparring though, I bounced like the fucking energizer bunny.

You glided slowly forward while thumping on a marching-band bass drum?

How did the opposition react?

WITH FEEAAARR!!!

Srsly though, I bounced a lot.

[Patcherson]

did you ever leave the ground or was it just heels off the ground?

[Kintanon]

Heels off of the ground. Only time I went airborn is if I was throwing an aerial kick of some kind, or lunging sidekicks, those involve a brief moment of airborn time.

ya a front leg migari means you kinda jump your backleg up to your front

Patcherson, you obviously don't know how this forum works. No problem.

Firstly, the named title-topic gets discussed.

Secondly, it morphs into another subject (this process can be repeated several times, often winding up with bikini-shots).

Now we had, it is true, begun with the fascinating topic of bouncing while playing tag. However, we then introduced a subject far more worthy and relevant to anything martial than bouncing while playing tag will ever be: namely, the Energizer Bunny.

Stay on topic, Patcherson.
