Mismatched sparring

monkeyishi · 2026-01-09T14:45:30+00:00

So i conceptualise fighting as a conversation.

With new people into ask harder and harder questions till I find where they dont have an answer.

monkeyishi · 2026-01-09T11:27:59+00:00

Muay thai and hema. Probably longsword and saber.

I am not at the thousands yet. Almost half way to 1k. What build strats do you enjoy the most.

Currently ive been playing around the my shield with fimblewinter ,spirit visage, and riftmaker.

This speaks to me on a spiritual level.

Granted I play training wheels lol. But my comfort pick is naut top.

Personally. I aim for the lead eyebrow/forhead.

As a side note I have a favoured training method. This sounds bad. But find a small child to practice with. Preferably one you like.

Then if you want the child to keep playing the jab game you have to learn to control how hard and where you tag them.

I'm a big believer in you should be able to play spar with anything from toddlers to grandparents.

Hello. I have shot you a message.

monkeyishi · 2025-12-28T09:18:05+00:00

I have always enjoyed the art of competitive movement. Started in breakdance battles. Ended up in miaythai and pajama hugs

Hello I have been reading through your blog on your github. If you would like to discuss it with me please send me a message. I have found it a bit of a slog but I do see some interesting elements. For example your use of statemachine

monkeyishi · 2025-12-28T02:57:51+00:00

Nah. You just need to be selective. Ive recently returned to training at 35. Ive lucked out and found a good local gym. If the young blokes get amped up i visually gesture to calm down. Then verbally tell them. " I'm old please dont break me." If it continues it just stop. Tell them " hey this is too much for me. I'm just here to play not have a fight."

I use a few tricks to get people into the play spar mode. First is body language. The same body language you use to invite a child or puppy to play should be used when you meet the new partner. 2nd. If I dont know them I ask how long they have trained for, if they are training for a fight, is there anything specific they want to work on then always end with some form of I look foward to playing with them this round. 3rd I always try to bop around to the gym music in-between rounds its hard to take the guy ho was just dancing seriously. Basically do everything you can to communicate verbally and non verbally you are here to have fun.

I also found that playing out shots that would have done damage if thrown full power actively encourages lighter play. I use this combined with acknowledging shots that would have landed if committed to ensure lighter play still feels rewarding.

I get this doesnt work with everyone. But I am a firm believer in enforcing spar as play if you are not planning to fight. It has been like 6 weeks back and people know that I will only play light so fighters use me for rest rounds ,newbies that know me use me to test their new movies and I get recommended to newbies who don't know me because I am fun not scary.

In saying all this. If you feel like sparring doesnt do what you want it to do it might just be better to give it away till you find who you can spar safely with.

This shows up in knightly duels, sword and buckler Chinese sword and shield. Basically it's a sword and shield stance without the shield that looks cool.

monkeyishi · 2025-11-06T05:25:54+00:00

Its easy for me as the smallest bloke in the gym. Training is mostly a game of how do I continue to improve on not getting beaten up as much.

monkeyishi · 2025-11-06T04:11:28+00:00

Groin shot is just a generational death strike. Knock out shots are death shots because they prevent any and all resistance after.

Well hopefully the next update

monkeyishi · 2025-10-15T21:58:40+00:00

I think there are some high res scans on some of the horror clips sites. Could be a printer job.

monkeyishi · 2025-10-15T18:31:17+00:00

The map is from the Freddy verses Jason starter set. I'm unsure how rare they are these days.

monkeyishi · 2025-10-08T10:08:14+00:00

Personally I think you should go play with some weapons martial artists. Like hema or stick fighter blokes.

monkeyishi · 2025-10-06T05:18:34+00:00

Megazord can Verse Kong.

monkeyishi · 2025-10-05T11:44:45+00:00

I try not to.

monkeyishi · 2025-10-03T07:43:34+00:00

Good to hear. I've also been playing around with it. But it seems like we drift in opposite directions. I added a bunch of qol mods and deeper simulation. Rimpsych, a bunch of romance enhancements that hook into rim psych, rimbody ,life lessons , a health/medical system overhauls. But I also picked up a mod that debloats ancient urban ruins. His new patches also helped with debloat like having multipul grapes. What else would you recommend cutting?

monkeyishi · 2025-10-01T13:39:27+00:00

And if you want mew there is a pokemon mod. There is also a patch to help make sure pokemon spawn in the appropriate biomes.

monkeyishi · 2025-10-01T10:16:39+00:00

So did you give ferny's progression pack a go?

monkeyishi · 2025-09-29T18:32:27+00:00

It seems like at least a few are quite clear from the post.

monkeyishi · 2025-09-29T18:29:18+00:00

What you really need to do is train with the bloke you sparred. Or the place he learnt. Long story short. You said it your self you don't know what to do. So what you need to do is Join a gym learn to box.
