sanda fights

[Frank Bolte]

Tomorrow 2 of my students will have sanda fights in Herne,Germany..
3 2minute rounds..we worked a lot on bridging,trying to incorporate hung kuen concepts within the frame of sanda rules...
One of my students already has 2 fights (one win,one lose) he fights in weighclass up to 83 Kilo,the second one has 1,5 years boxing experience (no fights) and has his first sanda match,he trains since february this year...he fights in the up to 61 Kilo weightclass.....video footage will follow..

[Frank Bolte]

thanks guys,just came back!

things changed a bit,both of my students opponents were replaced due to not showing up or being sick..so now they had more experienced opponents and also more heavy....the first fight was in the lighter weightclass my student 60 kilo(18) the opponent 68kg(28)... it was my students first fight and he pretty much froze up..was too tensed,he could have done way better since i know his abilities withing the gwoon..but you cant train experience...he pretty much forgot everything....in the second round he caught a kick to the side of the neck,the referee then stopped the fight and my student lost

fight 2 was shorter,my student Karl (3rd fight) fought against a 6 kilo heavier guy who also had good skills..anyway Karl had a very good start bombarded the opponents with good strikes ,in this area he improved a lot since his last fight...then the opponent came back with several strikes and kicks,one kick ended the fight as Karl got kicked in the ribs that he went out of air and couldnt breathe..

so 2 fights, 2 losses...lots of more work to do...but thats totally ok...



wont put up videos out of respect to my students

Well, you got some valuable feedback anyway...

With Sanda, you are already working within a set of broadly agreed-upon standards, so at least your guys can know what they are training for from fight to fight. Better luck in the future, then!



Best,

Michael

Good for your guys for getting in there!! Experience is the best teacher and they will only get better. Plus they got you for guidance.
