Have you ever done the following?

- Knock on your next neighbor's door and ask if he is willing to spar/wrestle with you for 15 rounds.
- Put note in local gym and ask if anybody is willing to spar/wrestle with you for 15 rounds if you are willing to pay him $20.
- Go to park, looking for people who trains MA, and ask him if he is willing to spar/wrestle with you for 15 rounds.
- Go to local MMA gym and see if anybody is willing to spar/wrestle out with you.
- Beat up your wife and see if she is willing to fight back. ;D

Old saying said, "If you don't spar for 3 days, your arms and legs will no longer be yours." I strongly believe in that.

Sometime I will knock on my neighbor's door, ask him if he is willing to spar with me. If he says no, I will then tell him that I'll just play defense and he can attack me anyway he feels like and I will not fight back. Even with that kind of condition, sometime it's still difficult for me to get a sparring partner.

My wife has a black belt in TKD. Sometime I just ask her to attack me anyway she feels like to. I enjoy the arm and leg contact very much.

If you want to learn how to fight, fight.

My wife had beaten up all my ex-girlfriends. She is not just a normal wife. My next door neighbor was an ex-boxing coach.

There's indeed some truth in it. Damn, my legs and arms must be miles away by now....

sometime it's still difficult for me to get a sparring partner.


Most MA people nowadays want to either just practice forms/katas or cuddle on the floor. :-\

That's what I call love! <3 ;D
