Each and every person has there own opinion on full contact tournament i believe they are benificial a learning curve to have an actual person to fight.
to become use to being hit and to have the ability to counter strike these such tournaments help timeing and self confidence that your technique if needed to be use is capable of protecting yourself if you have never been hit or hit someone else in full contact then when the time comes and you need to defend yourself how will you know if you are strong enough and capable of doing so. through full contact tournaments you do know and gives each student self confidence.
Please let me know of your thoughts of full contact sparring!
Please leave also if your style is holding these such tournaments and if you are entering in them>! _________________ www.Kyokushinaustralia.com

Some people prefer it; can't say I do. I get hit enough in a standard class to know I don't want to be going full pelt in a tournament situation. I think I'd lose it if I entered such an event - lot of good that would do me!

IMO full contact is vital for anyone who really wants to learn how to fight. You learn how to carry on after being hit. Physical strength and 'resistance' to being hit come into play - extremely important factors in a real fight. _________________ shotokan karate nidan

I'd much rather do a full-contact tournament than a light-contact one. It's more realistic, bad fighting habits are avoided, and they prepare people for the psychological blow of being hit hard. _________________ Know thyself. |

I think that full contact tournaments are good because they prepare people for what it feels like to be hit, rather than attacking someone but pulling the punch.
That's why I think that a mixture of full-, semi-, and light-contact training is a good thing to have. Training in light- or no-contact is all very well for learning distancing and timing but it doesn't really prepare people for real attacks. _________________ "Was it really worth it?

Personally i like the preparation for Full contact fighting.
Body Conditioning, pad work, running, Bag work,
all the endurance, building the spirit, gettting ready etc...
everything that happens a few months leading up to
Full Contact Tournaments, (including the sparring) is
the best.
I have a guy competing in a month, and we are
having fun getting him ready to fight.
Hopefully he pulls it all together on fight day
but win, lose or draw (oh okay, there is no Draw)
I will be happy as long as he gives it his best. |

I agree, i enjoy full contact how ever most are affraid of the physical asspect of being hit, how ever if and when i get the chance and sumone is willing to have full contact sparing session, i find people enjot it, due to the fact it tests ur abilitys, speed, strength, stamina and mentality _________________ Yours In Budo |

I have found them very beneficial in my own understanding of the "real" world and of my own strengths and weaknesses. I love every aspect of knockdown karate from training and mental preparation to the jitters that you get before a fight to the thrill of laying it on the line. We all don't always win every match, but in losing we learn the "full-contact karate truth" that it is a whole lot less painful to win than to lose. Now for your last question you posted I have been in tournaments within my own style and open style knockdown tournaments and I like the open style better it keeps you on your toes more IMHO. |
