Full contact can indeed bring an extra dimension to the learning experience.
However, the price for that is more than I am willing to pay.
I don't fight competition and I am a white middle class male, living and working in a good neighborhood. The odds of me getting seriously injured during full contact are much higher than the chances of ever benefiting from the experience it brings.Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.

I think it's good to spar without pushing full force. But hits to the face ( even when not going full force) need to be dodged, defended against etc. In general when in a fight (remembering from my teens) the first thing a guy will hit is the face. If you can't stop them or look at them while hitting them you're going to get knocked the **** out.

A good plan is don't be where the attacker is striking
The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.

LOL. That's a great plan.
I'll never forget Heihachi's philosophy in Kurosawa's "Seven Samurai"

Looks like sukui-nage from Judo, performed with a bit of malicious intent. Originally Posted by MisterA

Look at the way he hands her his back thinking "oh, I have her in a headlock, I'm safe" she bases down, "squats" his weight and brings him up and over. I wonder if he walked away from that. I train with a guy who was a wrestler and a Judo player. Standing up, I can control him, I am 6 inches taller and probably 25 pounds heavier. Anytime he gets inside, though, the fight is his. If I use anti-wresting takedown defense (mine is quite weak, admittedly) his Judo almost always puts me on the ground in a bad position, where he uses both Judo and wrestling to make my day worse. I don't think I've ever stood back up if he didn't let me, and I KNOW I've never advanced position on the ground if he didn't want me to. If I'm lucky, I'll avoid one or two of his submission attempts. If I had the time to train more, I would love to incorporate Judo. Originally Posted by sensei_kyle
