Approved Taekwondo Sparring

It is a big misconception that because one is short and small that they will always be weak, and will always remain unable to defend themselves from much larger opponents. Without training, yes, this could be true. But generally: this is a blatant LIE. Yes, it's a HUGE lie. Small people absolutely CAN defend themselves against an opponent that is potentially twice their size.

For one, true martial arts don't require much physical strength to be used efficiently. None. In fact, a common theme in virtually any martial art is to use an opponent's weight against them. This IS very possible, and a very useful skill to smaller martial artists. Internal martial arts such as Taiji quan and Aikido even go as far as completely yielding and blending with an attack before using it against them.

Some martial arts styles were invented FOR smaller people. Wing Chun kung fu was created by a woman, and relies on excellent body mechanics for everything because it is designed directly for small people.

Many of the world's greatest martial artists are not very big or tall at all. Bruce Lee was just over five feet tall and only weighed around 130 pounds, yet he could throw around large, six foot Karatemen. Many, many great Okinawan Karate masters were barely five feet tall. They themselves claim that size has nothing to do with one's study and skill in Karate. And southern Kung fu, renowned around the world, was designed for shorter people.

If you are dedicated, train hard and practice on larger sparring partners often, you will be able to use your size as an advantage, rather than seeing it as handicap. Soon you will see being short does nothing to your skill; you just have to learn what techniques work for you. It's all about how big your knowledge is, not your body!

Sparring $97.19 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Sparring is a form of training common to many martial arts. Although the precise form varies, it is essentially relatively freeform fighting, with enough rules, customs, or agreements to make injuries unlikely, by extension, argumentative debate is sometimes called verbal sparring. The physical nature of sparring naturally varies with the nature of the skills it is intended to develop; sparring in a striking art such as Chun Kuk Do will normally begin with the players at opposite sides of the ring and will be given a point for striking the appropriate area and will be given a foul for striking an inappropriate area or stepping out of the ring. Sparring in a grappling art such as judo might begin with the partners holding one another and end if they separate. The organization of sparring matches also varies, if the participants know each other well and are friendly, it may be sufficient for them to simply play, without rules, referee, or timer.
