FIGHTING SPIRT%DY SENSEI JERRY L. WILLIAMSON%D%A%D%A%D%A THE ONE ASPECT OF THE MARTIAL ARTS I HAVE HAD TEH MOST SUCCESS IN IS KUMITE OR FREE FIGHTING.THERE ARE MANY ASPECTS OR PROCESSES ONE'S MIND DOES THROUGH WHEN FREE FIGHTING.THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT IS ONE'S SELF IMAGE. THE COMPETITOR SHOULD ALWAYS CONSIDER ONES'S SELD A CHAMPION UNTIL PROVEN OTHERWISE.IF A CHAMPION MUST THINK AND ACT LIKE A CHAMPION. IF A COMPETITOR HAVE LOW SELF IMAGE OR LOW SELFESTEEM, HE/SHE WILL NOT DEVELOP THE FIGHTIN EDGE THEY NEED TO BECOME A CHAMPION.THE JUDGING MAY NOT ALWAYS GO YOUR WAY, BUT YOU MUST NEVER GIVE UP. LEARN FROM EACH AND EVERY ENCOUNTER, WHETHER IT BE DEFENSIVELY OR OFFENSIVELY. SOMETIMES YOU MAY NOT WIN THE MATCH, BUT YOU ARE ALWAYS A WINNER IF YOU CAN LEARN AND GROW FORM EACH ENCOUNTER. A TRUE KARATE-KA MUST ALWAYS SHOW RESPECT AND COURTESY TO THE JUDGES AND FELLOW COMPETITORS IN ORDER TO HAVE HONOR.%D%A%D%A THE MOMENT YOU STEP INTO THE RING YOU MOST DEMONSTRATE CONFINDENCE. NEVER LOOK DOWN WHEN FACING YOUR OPPONENT, AND HAVE GOOD EYE CONTACT.IF YOU LOOK DOWN, YOUR OPPONENT HAS THE PSYCHOLOGICAL EDGE OVER YOU.BOW AND SHOW COURTESY TO THE CENTER JUDGE AND YOUR OPPONENT, BUT KEEP YOUR EYES ON YOUR OPPONENT AT ALL TIMES.IT IS BEST TO HAVE A CALM, CLEAR FRAME OF MIND WITH NO THOUGHT PATTERNS OR PLANED STRATEGY.MAINTAIN A CONSTANT DEFENSE AT ALL TIMES WHILE BEING READY AND CAPABLE TO CLOSE THE GAP WHEN THE TARGET AREA APPEARS.TRY NEVER TO TELEGRAPH YOUR TECHNIQUE BY LOOKING AT THE AREA OF YOUR ATTACK.CLOSE THE GAP BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR OPPONENT BY PUSHING WITH YOUR REVERSE LEG, NOT LIFTING THE FORWAD LEG AND TELEGRAPHING.SPRING IN AND OUT OF YOUR OPPONENT;S RANGE, WITH YOUR HEELS RAISED SLIGHTLY, READY TO ATTACK. IN ORDER TO HAVE SPEED YOU MOST THINK SPEED.IMAGINE THE TECHNIQUE GOING OUT AND BACK NEVER STOPPING. ONCE YOUR OPPONENT TAKES A STEP BACK, CONTINUE THE ATTACK UNTIL YOUR OPPONENT RUNS OUT OF THE RING OR THE CENTER CALLS FOR BREAK.TRY TO GET AROUND YOUR OPPONENT'S DEFENSE BY STEPPING ONE WAY AND MOVING THE OTHER OR FAINT IN ONE DIRECTION AND THROW YOUR TECHNIQUE IN THE OTHER. THE OBJECTIVE IS TO SCORE BEFORE YOUR OPPONENT CAN COVER OR MOVE OUT OF YOR RANGE.%D%A%D%A THERE ARE MANY FIGHTING TECHNIQUES ONE CAN LEARN, BUT LEARNING WHEN TO THROW THE TECHNIQUE AND WHEN TO MOVE ARE THE DIFFCULT PARTS. SUCCESS ONLY COMES TO THOSE WHO OUT THINK THE OPPONENT. THIS ABILITY ONLY COMES THROUGH EXPERIENCE IN THE RING. REMEMBER THE FIGHTING SPIRIT OF A MARTIAL ARTIST IS COURAGE,STRENGTH ABD TECHNIQUE COMBINED INTO FLAWLESS ACTION.%D%A%D%A.
