In my school we teach bouncing for point sparring, and not bouncing for continuous sparring.

May I ask why? I see no value added by bouncing.

The theory is, since point fighting is a game of tag, then if your light on your feet then you will be faster. We call it bouncing but that doesn't mean jumping up and down, it means being on the balls of your feet moving slightly back and forth. I'd say it works since our students always do really well in competition, both point and continuous.

This is more of how we refer to it as well. Staying light, on the balls of your feet, so that you are ready to react and move.

well it would be good if you wanted to build up your stamina and leg muscles, but if you wanted to take him down quick no, because all has to do is hit you harde enough to nock you down if your not bonuncing then you can stay on the floor better.

I'll do it sometimes as a psychological thing. If my opponent is starting to look tired, I'll speed up and start moving around out of range. Even then though, my feet don't leave the mat. It's more the weight shifting back and forth(not up and down). A lot of times they'll try to speed up as well and that tires them further.

That's a good strategy!

if you bounce, then you are commited to a set timing. Anyone who is good enough can dirupt your timing and take you while you are not grounded. Ive seen a lot of knock downs done this way is point sparring matches; catch them when they can't do anything.
