I've been doing my first sparring combination with a butterfly kick and it is freaking tiring now in practice. I have been doing butterfly kicks all my life, but now at red belt sparring combination i have to do like the combination about 20 times in a row, which gets super tiring, i'm excited though..what do you'all think?

Is it a required combination? If not, just change it up.

Yeah, its a required combination, but i think it is good cuz it shows you how to link up butterfly kicks with other stuff and builds up your endurance. Cuz it's like anyone can do butterflys but can you do them for like a long time, nonstop, and with correct technique, that's why i probably love the sparring combinations.

Not sure I understand... do you have to do X of them in per sparring match?
I personally hate to use them when sparring. For one, my size means I can't disguise it well and two, I just don't find it effective in scoring/hitting.

I am not the fastest person around, so I have trouble setting it up. I can use it for a counter, but my countering isn't the greatest, either. So, I would use it without the quick, short steps, and do the full kicking motion, get the full rotation out of it, and just bury it into someones blocking arms or trunk. I am more of a block-and-counter fighter than a counter-fighter.

nah, ATA has what are called sparring combinations which are quick umm, i guess what would be considered, example combos of what you might do in sparring.

These are for the red belt, you say? My red belt manual doesn't have them listed, so I am unaware of them. Are they standard requirements, or is it something new?

Yea, these are the red belt ones, I don't think they used to have sparring combinations on some of the manuals before because i've noticed when i look at old sheets they don't have sparring combinations down but they do have the One - Step combinations.

Hey, I just found out today that I was right, it was second and third degree about the soft and hard one. Third degree is based off of Kung fu, it has those circular brushing away movements, kinda from some Wushu Styles, and even has a monkey block.
