A few months ago I dislocated my shoulder in a san shou rules match. After months of healing and rehab, im training pretty hard again. Now another tournament has arrived and I opted for the "point sparring" division instead of the harder contact divisions,because I have a kyokushin rules tourney in sept, so Im allowing myself to heal more for that. A few of my kung fu brothers heard about this and started snickering behind my back. Not to be full of myself, but I work harder than anyone else at my school, and I think its just them being happy im not at the top of my game right now. True, point sparring isnt realistic for acual fighting, but it does train the reflexes and takes some skill. Im putting on a demo at the tourney and everyone else is fighting, so I just wanted to do something as well. What are your views regarding these topics?
