Fighting Friends?

Question

You see i'm in tae kwon doe and so are two of my best friend (i call them my brother and my sister) Now my brother and i spar all the time while my sister and i spar like once a month. Now she's mad at me because when we do fight she knows i hold back because i don't want to hurt her. So i started going softer on my brother to show her that's how i always spar but then he got mad at me for holding back on him. So MQ is do you think i should go full force on both of them to show that i don't look down on them? (they're both older then me) Please help! Thanks

Answer 1

I don't think it will matter either way. you are bound to have trouble either way. I suggest you confine your sparring to the dojang where it is proper. Then no one will be upset or mad at you.

Answer 2

go full throttle on both of them, its the only way they can improve and u will learn to be fighting at ur full potential, who cares if she is a girl, she can prob handle it if she says ur going to easy on her, step it up and treat people the way they want to be treated, its called respecting their wishes, try it out and she will tell u to go easier if its too tough, but u gotta give people the chance or u will never know, good luck, be tough!

Answer 3

well if your wearing pads it should be fine to go full power on her and if she does train tae kwon do then she should be able to protect herself anyway.

also if she is traiing tae kwon do for self defence you should go full power on her for her training because if she ever gets attacked her attacker isnt going to go easy on her. so you going soft almost takeing away from her training as she gets used to people going easy on her.

Answer 4

hey i would go full force on them just to show them how good you are after you go full force i am sure they will want you to go soft on them again. that is how good you are ok well talk to you later ok

Answer 5

just show them what you got

trust me

been there

Answer 6

Just unload on both of them. They asked for it.

Answer 7

Depends on what you mean by going soft.  If by that you mean holding back techniques and counters, by which not allowing to grow in their skill, I'd be pissed at you too.  (Well, not really, but I'd ask you to knock it off).  If by going soft you mean not knocking your sister out, then I applaud you for it.

In my opinion, the misconception of sparring is "the harder you hit the more hardcore the training is."  Also known as, "if i don't get a bloody nose, I'm not training or learning."

What the heck?  Ask your sister this.. If you break her nose sparring, is that going to be an advantage or disadvantage if she was assaulted on the street?  Beyond that, is that going to benefit her when she's looking for a husband?

Spar smart.  Take your time and learn the angles.  Practice your counters.  Gauge your speed and energy on your sparring partner's skill.  Overpowering her and beating on her isn't going to benefit her, it's just going to give her a headache.  Or a concussion.
