My name is Peter and I’ve been a student of WC for 1 1/2 years. I am currently looking for a sparring partner(s). I am also willing to be a training partner instead of a sparring partner. I will help you train with what you need to work on an vice-versa. Perhaps we can benefit from exposing each other to different styles.
ME: Gender: Male Age: 20 Height: 5’6" Weight:165lbs.
Experience:
Wing Chun - 1 1/2 Years
YOU:
Gender: Not an issue. However, I will not go easy on you if you’re a girl. Age: Must be between ages 18-30, for health reasons. Height: Not an issue. Weight: Must be in fair shape.
Experience:
Please NO PURE grappling styles (A.K.A. BJJ or Wrestling).
Please NO weapon styles.
MUST have a MINIMUM of 1 year and a MAXIMUM of 3 years of COMBINED experience.
Another WC/VT/whatever student a big plus!
Equipment: REQUIRED
Helmet
Mouthguard
Gloves (Open or Closed)
Cup
Shin Guards w/Instep (MUST HAVE AT LEAST TWO PAIRS)
Recommended
Chest Guard
Arm Pads
Notes: 1. Please be in good physical condition.
2. I’d like to start slow, get used to the idea of sparring, before progressing to full speed/power.
3. I will use elbows, knees, sweeps, and check kicks.
4. For those who are kicking-oriented, please be aware that it’s very important that you bring extra pairs of shin guards and insteps.
For Wing Chunners:
Please be aware I am bad a Chi Sao, but am willing to practice with you. But I will not “fight” in Chi Sao. Chi Sao is a drill, not a fighting technique.
I’ve seen a lot of WC videos on YouTube and have mentally rehearsed counters for the typical Wing Chunner. If your first attack is going to be to chain punch or push kick, please bear that in mind.
Times and Location: Must be in NYC, preferably Brooklyn.
Times are negotiable and I will provide availability upon request. Location will also be negotiable and possible locations are available upon request.
Don’t know why this was Trollshidoes besides being hilarious, but hey Pete come down to the next TD.
I am 22yrs old
5’10’’ 165-170lbs
I do train strictly in grappling right now in BJJ, but I also have 9 years experience in Kempo…I suppose that might overshoot your standard a bit, but trust me my standup sucks
After such an informative and concise first post? How could you think that?
In truth though, its funny how these posts for a sparring partner bear a striking resemblence to posts for no strings attached sex on something like craigslist…
er… or so I’ve heard. From this other guy. Who certainly isn’t me. At all.
I think I may have broken some sort of rule? I figured since what I did isn’t apparently the right way to get a sparring partner, I’d wait 'till the next NYC TD.
Kungfu_pete, I’m always down to spar…and we could go easy, and work into it if you like…I love to train, and spar, and have good control (I get clocked sometimes at the kickboxing school, and keep my cool well) I live in Boston, but will be in NY ever couple of weeks here on out.
You’re 5’6" 165, I"m 6 and a bit, and 172 (still some fat though)…I’ll be cutting down to 160 or 155 over the summer…so we could get some good work in. I’m down to spar/train anytime short of gigs or studio times. I’ve studied kung fu for 4 1/2 years and san shou (chinese kickboxing) for 2 1/2 years now. If you want to come to Boston, and visit the school I train at, or come to it’s sparring class. It’s Saturday’s 11:30-1:00 PM me for the adress, specifics…I’ll put you up, assuming you’re not criminally insane. Short of the school, we can meet up and train however you like…we’ll sort it out. And kempofist does have good control.
