I hate when the coach says "it's a warm up so I only want 20%" but your partner heard "I don't care what you have to do, I want to see bodies on the mat."
Hell yeah I know what your saying! But most of the people I met who do that get there ass kicked in the ring! I even saw one of those guys crying in the changeroom before his fight! Another one collapsed on the ring floor when the bell went for the 1st round!
Honestly any time people agree on a certain "percent" it can be a problem because sometimes there's that douche who just hits as hard as they want and insists "that's my 20%" or "that's why 50%". Like sure maybe if you stood in front of a bag and got a running head start with a wind up you can hit more than twice as hard, but that's not the point of going light. What a lot of people fail to realize is that even in a real fight you shouldn't be punching with 100% power most of the time because it will leave you open to counters and gas you out quickly. So even "100% sparring" doesn't mean constantly throwing your hardest punches, yet some people will practically do that in what they claim is 50% sparring or whatever and justify it, even though realistically most people have no remotely accurate way of calibrating the actual percentage of power they put into a shot, especially since some of the most effective punches in a real fight have very little effort behind them; light sparring vs hard sparring is not about whether or not you are TRYING to hurt you partners but rather about whether or not you are trying to AVOID hurting them. Often times the best way to hurt someone with strikes is not really about throwing with "bad intentions" as is often stated, but instead to throw crisp, precise shots without regard for impact against the target itself.
I find that more often it's the less skilled person doing that, because they get too excited when they actually land something and often also want to make an excuse to disengage and celebrate for a moment to run out the clock.
That always used to piss me off it’s like dude I’m going light af u don’t need to catch my kick like ur good it’s not hard catching a kick with like 5 percent power
That’s my favorite, as someone who did traditional martial arts as a kid I have control of my head kicks and I’ll lightly place one one someone’s shoulder.... then bam sweep. But I don’t care cuz that person just got knocked out. 😂
If no one tells me you're a beginner and you just pop up on the gym it's only fair to assume you're a champion from out of town and I need to represent my gym, family and honor, in this next round of sparring.
@@neobliss2120 thats a perfect oportunity for chicken legger, he will just teep you and make you fall. You rather need to eat a kick while getting close and start punching, they are not it a good position to box plus chicken kicks are not even hard at all... or catch the leg and sweep but the first is more punishing
People who are good at it as well as Muay thai kicks are exceedingly dangerous. Poorly executed its just annoying but if its integrated into decent Thai its extremely effective and great to watch.
I think some of the types mentioned in the vid are sometimes similar, like the "celebrator" and the "teacher", are often just people trying to run out the clock.
Chicken Leg = TKD practitioners. No Shin Guards = "I want Tong Po!" The Teacher = A jealous sibling. Coz the real teacher doesn't admire him/her enough. The Celebrator = Saenchai? No. Kapchai. Helicopters = Kung Fu movie addicts.
The teacher type shows up in every martial art. So annoying, even when they actually know the technique and give sound advice (which isn't a given), it takes away from actually getting sparring experience, which is the goal of sparring.
There has been times im sparing someone like the 'teacher' and they have pointed out some valid flaws that helped me adjust.. most of the time they just chat shit though 🙄
@@IMonYORmum Yep same. I try to help others as well but I wait till between rounds. Only downside at that point is I don't have time to catch my breath lol
i sometimes do the teacher thing with newer students IF its something that will legit help them that is usually hard to see yourself like "remember keep those hands up" but i dont do it often. dunno if its annoying though lol
That depends on what happened. I guess if the partner is hitting hard enough that they feel the need to apologize, it isn't the apologizing that is the problem.
I’m the talker. That wasn’t mentioned here, but yeah. I talk and joke while beating ass or getting my ass beaten; either way I’m talking. I don’t talk shit, I just joke around. I remember I was sparring this bigger guy in the ring and every time I clinched, he would effortlessly guide me to the ropes and I said “okay, I get it you don’t want me clinching. Let’s make a deal...”
I can't believe people find this annoying. Weird world we live in. I don't mind anyone teaching me anything, they can see what I can't. I also like when people joke, it's not that serious.
@Mark Lucchese this one is different it’s not a Traditional sweep it’s like a low kick or kalf kick then last second it gose under your check unless u take it and hits your ankle it dosnt sweep you it just hurts and sucks especially if you want a nice sparring session it only seems new people do it because there’s much better ways of sweeping when someone’s is checking like useing your front leg to trip when you pick up your left to check the right low bullshit kick they do
@@Hydro-od2rt how is it cheap to counter your defense? They're teaching you not to check when your opponent can tell, it's not safe. You're checking too early, if your opponent can just punch or kick around your guard, it's not effective, your sparring partners aren't supposed to boost you ego, they're showing you flaws in what you're doing.
@@ace8099 this one in particular move never seems to work and just ends up injuring me not even if they where to do it hard witch they do and is way I get injured, would it actually sweep me there’s better ways of doing exactly what there trying to achieve, but haven’t been taught the proper way yet, or I would of actually went to the ground. never even seen this kick done befor and the better people I spar with never try this. If they just fake with the right see me lift up to check then step in an sweep With the opposite leg it would work
The shin guard one made me laugh. I've met many people who think they're to protect the opponent, and not their own shins. Good to spar without them, you learn to kick safely!
I’m definitely similar to “the teacher” except if someone is making a crucial mistake I’ll let them know, I certainly wouldn’t want to have any bad habits in my fighting and want people to tell me if I’m doing something wrong
I once had a guy that was both a good sparring partner and a good teacher, he taught me how to check kicks really well because he saw I struggled with it by first having me watch him check a kick and then throwing a lot of kicks while we sparred so I could get used to reacting to them without moving back
There's also the sweater, the guy that is so sweaty that you kick him once, connect with the sole of your foot on his shirt, and your foot returns drenched in sweat, let's say it turns into a boxing only match really quick
Usually in my club it's like an unspoken rule that you pick people up on stuff after the round rather than during. Even then it's the sifu/whatever your instructors job to help them not another student.
1:28 this pretty much almost all point sparring karateka that just started doing muay Thai or just started doing normal sparring they be like "aha got ya" how do I know I used to be one of em lol
OMG! the no shinguard stuff really happened at NORD last week. told him the shinguard is to protect me too not just you. Feel so good to see his face changed when he kicked my elbow
the funny part about the helicopter guys is that 99% of them cant even throw the fucking technique right, i had guys like that who throw the first kick and telegraph the turn kick so hard i just step back and wait like 3 seconds while they struggle to turn in time almost knocking themselves off balance with their poor flexibility and then find themselves in a shitty stance and have to make a stupid hop to get back in stance, meanwhile in just sitting there thinking if this was a real match my shin would've already kissed their lips ...
I'm the chicken legger at times. Lmaooooo we got a teacher too, shit is annoying. But what's more annoying are the people who always want to go hard and say "This is how you fight in the street." Hate that shit. Lol
We have this old geezer in our boxing gym, he just randomly decides to interupt people. "Your jab isnt strong enough", "You need to rotate more", "Why you slip on this side". Teacher wannabes are the worst.
i think the worst sparing partner is that guy who thinks its a to die fight and tryhard so much when im giving 30% of my abilities. But when i see tryharder then i also get to power up and after fight he said why i play so hard
So if someone is very good at kicking and have enough cardio to continues use them you call him annoying, if someone has a different style from yours and you're having an hard time with him that doesn't make him annoyng
I guess its annoying when people show some innovation and throw a larger variety of kicks more often than you would like. Seems like there are some rigid princesses out there.
@@waylander7777 thanks bro for understanding, they all act like "oh i do a martial art that involves kicks, but man if you throw a kick you're annoying" what the hell they expect? A kiss?
my sparr partner calls me annoyinh since ill never go back , when ever he hit me ill just move forward with a counter, there r once he fell down jst because im getting to close and he want to avoid my jab . since then , he hate to do a spar with me .
Its good to move forward often, but in reality if you were actually 'fighting' using only this strategy, doing that will eventually get you knocked out. In sparring your partner isn't hitting you full power all the time. If they were, you couldn't always move forward. My suggestion is to also use angles move back and counter and try to explore all the tools Muay Thai offers.
What about the dude thats way better than you but is also kind of psychotic and just unleashes on you and you are in the corner in guard the whole time?
My favorites the ones who always end up throwing harder and harder til finally youre just like nope screw it not working with you, then they complain that you "cant be afraid of getting hit" like dude im going 50% youre going 75%
I hate when the coach says "it's a warm up so I only want 20%" but your partner heard "I don't care what you have to do, I want to see bodies on the mat."
Hell yeah I know what your saying! But most of the people I met who do that get there ass kicked in the ring! I even saw one of those guys crying in the changeroom before his fight! Another one collapsed on the ring floor when the bell went for the 1st round!
50% to the head, 80% to the body and legs and those fuckers go 100% everywhere 😆
🤣🤣🤣🤣
They’re a bad teammate and you should call them out, point blank. You make injuries in the ring, not the gym.

The worst offender is not even in this video
Its the "I dont know how to go light in sparring" sparring partner
There's also that one guy that goes a little too hard on begginers
Got a gym mate that does that. Went full Muay Thai match on a guy that's been there 2 weeks during just drills. Coach had to tell him to chill.
