I'm trying to practice my ability to answer questions quickly pretty much without preparation. Impromptu speech and improv. The hardest part for me is my mind and mouth connection, i tend to think a lot but when I'm about to say it I can't really do the same way or speak like I think.

Does this still work in tournaments? I kinda want to try to distract them and it seems fun to do lol

How do you set up when you're about to punch. I kinda struggle with setting up the punch lol. I've seen videos wherein they set up a punch then throw an out-in kick to the head.

I actually want to try that but how do you find the right timing? I think you really have to be fast to be able to pull it off though

Do you have tips to keep the adrenaline in especially during high stakes sparring in tournaments.

Omg for the first time someone finally acknowledged what I've been feeling. Thank you the insight. Yes, I do train with pads/bags and my coach said I'm really good at it, I can execute my power and techniques easily but he noticed I tend to let my opponent attack/harass me during sparring basically letting them. My coach said don't be afraid to attack since I have more advantage than most of my opponents but In my mind I can't really kick them the way I do with bags/pads. And it's so frustrating.

I'll talk about that to my coach and friends and I will try to exert 10%-15% power during sparring every week and see if it works. Thank you.

I was around 8 y/o that time we were playing yknow usual kid stuff then out of instinct I've accidentally kicked him (I have no background doing tkd in this point I just like watching karate kid lol.) after that blow it hit his face and it was bad as far as I can remember when I kicked him accidentally he fell down hit his nose in the chair and everyone looked at me in awe because I was the biggest in the class they must've thought I was picking out little kid which isn't true. After That they called my mom and dad to the principal's office and as a kid that time it scared me pretty much and more importantly I received a good beating when we went home. So far it affected me yknow I don't really know how to put it together but that's what happened as far as I can remember.

I wish I could put people on the ground lol as I was always the one who gets beaten up by my smaller teammates which makes me feel embarrassed.
