One that my instructor has done before:
Have the students pair up, one with a big pad and the other without. The one without the pad has to force the other one across the dojo using techniques (i.e. not just barging rugby stylee)... so elbows, punches, knees, kicks etc.
It's a great exercise to test stamina and spirit, very hard work and also shows how combos work better.
There are two ways of doing it... the easy way and the hard way.
Easy way: When the pad holder gets forced back they stay where they are.
Hard way: The pad holder is consistently driving forward into their partner.
;D

oh that sounds like a good one, we do the easy way every other week or so, but the hard way sounds like a great idea to try.

I can't take the credit for it though, it's something we have done at my club. It's tiring though, and probably deadly in a sports hall sized dojo  |

Sounds like fun, does weight, size and the like come into the equation?

Well big people have a larger mass to project into into the pad, and would probably be able to root themselves more. However I guess unless the discrepancy was extremely obvious then it should still be achievable.

This is also something that we also do in our class every now and again.
The only difference is that sometimes we are told to limit the strikes to punches or kicks etc.
It's very tiring, even more so when Sensei says "this is the last one" and then carries on for another 4 or 5 sets.

It's a way of discovering whether your strikes are really penetrating the target, as opposed to bouncing of with little impact.

I think it sounds like a top way of getting stuck in. One must remember to only hit the pad.

The trouble is I would be the person who the old red mist would descend and let one fly.

The trouble is you instructors have to remember that you have counted.  It is like the police…always around in two’s, one to read one to write. ;D |
