Where can i practice hard/NHB sparring?

[tkd_person89]

Where can i practice hard sparring? The Kyokushin dojos I've called won't let me in their tournmanets because I don't go to their school...
What would I have to do, as a TKD person, to practice some sparring without all that gear and less rules?

[Eyegouge]

buy a couple pairs of four ounce gloves and have at it in your back yard with some of your martial arts buddies. have em come over to your place after practice or w/e. n beat the shit outta each other.

Any other suggestions? Anyone?

And thank you eyegouge. I've already thought of that possibility.

well if you cant spar hard at your gym and your buddies dont wanna get hurt in the backyard then your options are pretty limited.....ask the people in your gym if they wanna go with you and if no one wants to then i suggest you go to a different school.

wE spar full contact.. but with gear

I mean the real full contact without the gear. Where can i do that?

[JkD187]

tell them to take the gear off.

[Eyegouge]

ok um, do it inside in your basement. if you want to have your eyes opened, wrestle or spar on a tile floor. hahaha have fun!

Thanks for the suggestions

but i was looking more towards competition style.

[JkD187]

sorry dude your outta luck not many places have full contact sparring or fights other then boxing muay thai for striking.....your in the wrong sport.

Don't ever call TKD a sport....

[blitz]

It is a sport... It wasn't but now it is.

[Eyegouge]

haha owenage....

[tkd_person89]

no it isn't. it's both. but you obviously wouldnt know because you dont do tkd.

[blitz]

If I did TKD, would I know?

Think about it, almost all tkd schools teach it as a sport, so how would I know?
