You look like one of those strong wiry guys I used to spar with who beat the crap outta me. :lol:

No, I trained more on forms than sparing, and practicing one on one to understand the aspects of the form, and its application.

When I trained, we had limited contact...depended where on the body too. Thought was if you trained and pulled all kicks and punches, you were hindered through memory and training if a need arose to actually apply techniques.

You still look like you can kick the crap outta me!

Unfortunately I've have had to use what I've been taught while on active duty, while a deputy sheriff, and during my two years in Iraq. Glad I had and continue to practice, just wish I'd never had to use it. It does work.

Looks like fun...I'm just wondering..in the last two pictures...the instructor's facial expression looks different standing next to you ...than it does when he's next to the lady.
