osu japman,
wise words, have some repz  I will definetely try it. I am a small fighter (168cm) so looking at the eyes means (most of the time) I have to look up. I also have the habit of keeping my chin close to my chest (to protect it, I guess)

This might sound too basic, but it is amazing how many people still don't get this right.
Learn how to block thigh kicks with your knee lifted on an angle to meet the attacker's shin. You need to make this second nature.

Something even more basic but interesting and possibly unkown to many is that you should not throw a arm in the way to block but act as if you want to break the opponents attacking limb. OSU!

Osu - JapMan
I also have some reservations about the "block" idea - but perhaps for different reasons to you. My concern is that my experience of "blocking" gedan kicks in this way is that ultimately, both attacker and defender end up with very sore shins. I have found that if I am fighting a strong gedan kicker, my shin/knee gets pretty much as sore as his/hers. My preferred approach with gedan mawashis is to not be there, to rapidly switchfoot, or even simply lift the leg up and away, moving it across in the same trajectory as the kick, so that the kick just glances off. JapMan - what was it that you didn't like about the "block" concept/word?

my tip would be don`t stand there aimlessly trading blows,think about where you are going to try to hit or kick somebody.+..my number one tip to a novice is do not run backwards when you are being "overpowered" by somebody charging at you throwing kicks+punches,try and move round in a circle[the urge to go back in a straight line is a natural one but it only gives momentum to the attacker] in my opinion

Why do I hear an unspoken "Grasshopper" at the end of that sentence? Beautifully poetic, you old
 Grizzly. I think we are trying to express the same concept - 2 rocks banging against one another - maybe both get broken. Water flowing over rock - the water never gets hurt. (Now I'm sounding like you....

I prefer to not waste energy blocking, though if I was to "block" I would push away, parry or re-direct rather than block. Every ounce saved comes back to you in the later rounds as well every injury hurts you Yes their is times when you must block, but you don't always need to block?!?

TOTALLY agree. there is no such thing as a "non-contact" block, but there are blocks that reduce the damage to oneself. I think that learning to use this type of approach is why I stopped being black & blue after about 3rd kyu..but it did take a long time before I stopped hurting myself nearly as much as I hurt my partners.
Thanks for clarifying.

As a droplet we are weak, as a puddle we gain size, as a brook we gain momentum, as a river we gain strength, as an ocean we become a droplet again.

Well - that's ippon to you JapMan. I can't think of an aphorism to match that one! Now - back to topic -
Even tho I'm not a beginner (in the strict sense of the word), my tip for beginners is invest in a good mouthguard, and wear it, no matter what you local or international heroes do. No excuses, not ever. It protects you and it protects your partner from the sharp edges of your teeth. Subsequent discussions that were posted about mouthguards in this thread have been moved to a fresh thread http://www.kyokushin4life.com/forums...uthguards.html

Other tips for beginners,
Mudansha make this mistake all the time... Trying to hard to learn to much to quickly and trying to hard to be everyones buddy. Take your time learn in-depth not in-seconds. Let the yudansha befriend you, just show everyone that you are dedicated, not over motivated that you turn them off or away. Be friendly and courteous ask questions that you thought out and tried to solve before asking, then explain what you tried and really "what" it is you can seem to understand, get, do.... Always volunteer to be the dummy!!!!! It may hurt but it is all worth it Last edited by Spirit; 09-28-2007 at 12:57 PM.

a lot of good advise, i might add always keep your fists clenched for the first year or so,to avoid damage to fingers.
i particularly agree with shokei marcsui..always keep your hands up and your elbows in. +martin h with his advise about blocking kicks. i would also add you stance needs to be relaxed,not tensed up like a statue....so relax,keep your hands up,fists closed,elbows in and think about martins advise,then your off+running!

Open your hands and get use to using them ASAP.
No matter what you will open your hands when fighting... so start as soon as you can learning how to fight this way and how to react between the blocking, (what ever)...open handed then to clinching to punch all in about 100TH of a second... Hands up is not always the best place and elbow "IN" (???) can be way to constricting... learn more the way of body dodging than taking blows to the arms or blocking. Understand that standing toe to toe to fight is just barbaric and their is no talent in that type of sparring. Learn how to move and cut the angles either defensively or offensively. Learn how to always be on your ball of foot and toes, never flat with heel down (unless part of forward driving power and for a split second only). DON"T copy someone else's ways of fighting, learn them, understand them, but create your own ways. Know what your body is capable of doing and know what your mind or personality is capable of as well. YOU ARE you, if your personality (upbringings) was focused on one type of life style and being a strong fighter is another, you will need to learn other ways to get their (being a strong fighter). Talent/skill is one thing but personality is way stronger... it dictates you as a person, as fighter, as a teacher, or as a student... person! It will kick in once stress and fatigue stets in as you fight, or when the pressure is on or you get hit hard and are rocked from it. You will no longer breath in a relaxed manner, punch and kick with much less focus and balance. To over come this is to spar, all the time, spar HARD and with stronger fighters than you who challenge you every hard sparring match. Also sparring slowly (like in a vat of honey) for hours at a time... If you never get rocked in the dojo weekly or more, when you do at a tourney (with all the people looking down on you, in strange place, the fact that you have no control ) will effect you 100%. Time and experience is the best thing, along with bag work, drills, conditioning stretching... kihons.

Im an orange belt (grading end of Jan hopefully) and I have just started contact sparring. One thing i have found invaluable time and time again is my long legs. If you have long arms or legs use them to keep your opponant at a distance and scared to approach.
Likewise if you have a shorter reach wait for them to throw a technique, block it, and get it close before they can regain their balance so they cannot use thier reach against you. I have found, again because of my longer legs, that i can use my much harder Hiza geri at ditances more usual to using mae geri, so if someone does get past my long range mae geri and mawashi geri i can quickly use a hiza geri to deliver a surprisingly hard blow followed by oi tsuki, gyaka tsuki.... just keep the blows raining until they fall. Remember, when punching use every muscle in your body, not just your arms and shoulder. Use your toes, legs, hips, abdomen, shoulders (pulling the opposite shoulder back slightly when punch greatly increases blow force) all add up to what Masutatsu Oyama strived for in the mountains, Ichi Geki Hisatsu "One hit, certain death".
