I the guy who score at body level had not control his technique, the head shot after would never have exist...

well, dropping your hands can be done if your at a certain skill level. its about confidence and strategy. when a master drops his hands he's letting the opponent feel like he can come in. thats when the show is over. in a sport fight, i don't recommend it.

[NakedHenry]

Yes they are both excellent. I'd always rather be the guy who hits the other one in the head though, win or lose!

[farorin]

Thats really cool. Skillful.

well, actually, jumdiddy, it really depends on the judges and how well executed your technique is. techniques that do not make any contact, but which are solid, are awarded points, and sometimes are even given ippon. if you've been in JKA tournaments, you should know this.

I belong to the JKA and yes...we do practice the poin sytem in all exercises i agree that we must practice more real type of fighting. However In dojo sparring we do not go on the point system

[jumdiddy13]

hey phil....training in both us and japan? WKF is more like fencing. at the shoto cups i competed in, you needed more than a "little" contact to get a point. as a matter of fact, i damn near took a canadian guy's head off to get a point. if you actually been to JKA international tournaments... you'd know what im talkin bout.
