Learning Martial arts by watching

Learning by watching is a very very useful skill and not many artists could do that.

I remember we had this dragon round in my traditional Taekwondo, where a challenger, usually a martial artists from another art, who wants to take on some of our best fighters in my club.

Then we put some mid level fighters who are there to try out the skills as an exchange of skills. (We meant to be friendly you know.) We have our own strategies so the challengers will usually give up by the 2nd and 3rd round if their skills are not up to match.

This is when my sifu, and other talented fighters, will sit in a corner to observe each and every move made by the oncoming challengers. They could tell each person’s strength and weakness just by watching. They will then discuss the strategies on how to beat Cheap Brand Cialis Online Without Prescription you.

For example, understanding your favorite kick or move, how agile you are, how you react to attacks like dodging, blocking, or simply steping back, how fast you react, and how calm you are.

If your fighting style have been characterized, this information would be shared among other fighters, and the next fighter to fight the challenger will have a better chance of winning. So like most martial arts says, it is better leave your best till the last fight. Once you show your weaknesses, its more or less game over for you unless your strengths could cover it up.
