How to Fill Your Shelves with Sparring Trophies

It would be great to have all those shiny tournament trophies there is on display at your martial arts school or in your home? Now you can!. All you need to do is enter in a number of martial art tournaments and win them! Ok, that is the end result. How do you get there? The answer to this is simple: sparring. You must work very hard to geat a great deal of sparring experience in training to find yourself on the winners podium with a medal or trohpy. You need experience and skill and that is why sparring training is a must. Or, more accurately, proper sparring is a must.

We compiles a list of some ideas to squeeze everything you can from your sparring, they are:

Let's address something important the outset: sparring is not fighting. Sparring is a drill designed to enhance your fighting skills. It is not about winning or losing. It is about improvement. That means you need to curb your competitive spirit and approach sparring with an attitude centering on a positive learning experience.

Also, if you are not an upper belt, you shouldn't be sparring without proper supervision fr om an instructor. In addition to having a knowledgeable eye presenting you with tips and pointers, there will be someone there to ensure the sparring session stays light and friendly.

It is very important that you DO NOT spar without the proper sparring gear on. Yes, you see professional fighters training without such equipment all the time. They are also professionals and they have the experience to handle such training. If you are training as a hobby or for amateur or tournament competition, you will want to wear as much protective gear as possible. This includes head, chest, feet, hand, and groin protection. This this will eliminate the likelyhood of injury and this gives you the change to train more and safer.

When you are sparring to practice for a tournament remember to keep contact levels at a minimum. There is no reason to go all out when you are training to develop skill. In fact, doing so is often self-defeating. You want to be able to assess your strengths and weaknesses while sparring while refining the areas you excel and enhancing (or avoiding) that are underdeveloped. It is very tough to do this when you are training with excess contact or intensity and such heavy training should be limited. However, limited does NOT mean never. You will need to train hard and with high intensity at some point in order to get used to such an approach which will often come into play in a tournament scenario. So, as a rule, limit the tough sparring sessions to 10% of your training time.

Spar according to the rules of the tournament you wish to enter. This way, you will be able to work the tournament rules to your advantage when you compete. Also, wear the same apparel in training as you would in the tournament. If you train in mma shorts and shoes for martial arts then you are in a tournament that requires a uniform and doesn't allow shoes, you will feel very off when the tournament arrives. Always pick your sparring partners wisely. You want someone who is safe, controlled, and non-competitive but still knows how to push you to improve. Aggressive sparring partners who are overly competitive should be avoided at all costs!

I had a black eye, but the corner of my eye is still red after about 4 days already, should I be concerned?

It doesn't hurt when I look that way, but if I try my hardest to look to my left (the direction of my eye in the pic) it kind of aches, not an "OWW!" type of pain, but just an ache.

Takes more time to heal. Don't worry....
