Its quite good that you hold back the way you do. most students have a natural tendency to put all they got in there sparrign lessons, and end up hurting them selve or others. you though have three problems when it comes to fighting. first and for most, you are much too tight. practice your moves and shadow box, loosen your body phsyically. second your too tight, this time its in your mind. your worried either about hurting the other person or your self (which is good) you should never use your full energy while sparring (sparring is simply an entry drill that gets you over the intial fear of fighting and teaches how to evade and strike back). but to put more power into your techniques you must shed the fear of injury. and the third thing is that you are simplly unexperianced. it takes years for a person to get comfortable with his or her body and the techniques that have been taught to them to fight well, and thats just well. so there.

You need to take classes at the dojo. You won't learn anything otherwise.\n\nAnd pay attention in your physics classes at school. Physics will teach you how to flip someone!\n\n***Sorry, you don't have it covered. You cannot learn anything from on-line martial arts classes (whatever those might be). It takes years of practice and discipline to master even some of the aspects of the martial arts. You need to study in a dojo from a Sensei.

I've seen your other questions about martial arts. As a martial artists (specifically I am in American Kenpo Karate), the best fight is one where you can walk away without even fighting. If you know nothing about fighting, it is best to talk your way out. Even experienced martial artist are taught to walk away. You never ever let an opponent know that you know how to fight, and you don't underestimate. So, in any fight, always think that they are better than you.\n\nIf you can't avoid fighting, one of the best things to keep in mind is to not get yourself cornered. You have to keep moving, and do the cornering. If you don't know any self defense, the best thing is to go for the man's groin. And don't forget the eyes and neck. Extend all your fingers and start gouging away. Teeth will also work for you.

A real easy way to slim them down is to lift up onto the balls of your feet a bunch of times.  Like your tippie toeing in rapid succession.  It's easy at first but after doing it about ten times you should start to feel a burn.  We do this in my karate class and it's surprisingly effective.  It's also good because you can do it almost anywhere (probably not in public though) :)

Stand in front of a wall at punching distance and push fist into wall.  Don't punch, just put fist against wall and push at full power for ten count. Repeat this.  This teaches muscles to have full strength at punching distance instead of just throwing a fist.

Do you do full contact or kata only? Either way, practice makes perfect. Stretch out every morning. Work on your basics to develop power, balance, flexibility, focus, speed, accuracy, and conditioning. Then try to use your moves in sparring to develop timing, distance, reflex. Once you have all these, techniques will come easier. Unless you have anything specific in mind, all traditional martial arts have the above principles in mind at the beginning. The higher level stuff will come to you once you are well versed in the basics. Ex. A punch can be a block at the same time and vice versa.

There are several different approaches to martial arts. One way to look at the martial arts is whether the art is "hard" or "soft." "Hard" means that the art is more focused on the offensive. You would learn strikes that disable or kill right away. Examples of "hard" martial arts include karate and taekwondo. "Soft" means that the art uses the attacker's momentum against them. You would learn techniques that tie up the opponent; if they resist, they are inflicting pain on themselves. Which do you think you'd be most comfortable learning?\n\nAnother way to look at the martial arts is to decide whether you are interested in grappling, ground fighting, throws and joint locks (try jujitsu or aikido); in strikes that mainly use the hands and feet (karate, TKD, kung fu); or in something that allows you to focus on staying fit and active (cardio kickboxing, tai chi). Pretty much any martial art will help you stay in shape, though. And some martial arts are comprehensive--they'll teach you all of those areas. Hapkido is a good example.\n\nI'd suggest that you check out some books from the library on the various martial arts. Do some research online as well. Look up local listings for martial arts schools in your area, call a few, and ask if you can come in for a tour. I think most schools don't mind if you just show up and watch a class, but if you call ahead you know that an instructor will be expecting you and may be able to give you some of his/her time to explain what the art is about. You may even get to join a class.\n\nI advise you to be careful about karate and taekwondo schools in particular. Ask them, "Do you teach sport taekwondo?" Sport schools focus on trophies, tournaments, and sparring--as someone else said, they are "McDojos," just focused on getting as many students as possible and not really teaching them how to defend themselves. If you can find a traditional TKD school or a Shotokan karate studio, those are good solid arts. \n\nDon't let yourself be suckered into signing up right away, and especially don't sign a contract that guarantees you'll get your red belt or something. Most schools will have a beginner's deal--one month for $50 with a free uniform. After observing several schools, pick one and try it out. Just remember, the school you start with and the art you start with don't define your martial arts career. You can always switch to studying another art to give yourself a more well-rounded experience.

If you have been practicing martial arts, the skills you have honed will be facilitated upon the need in real life...kind of like reflexes. \n\nI was drunk in a bar one night and someone put me in a full-nelson. Before I even knew what happened, I had clenched his arms, spun around and head-butted him. I didn't even think about it, I just reacted. \n\nI hope this helps ease your mind...

NEVER stop fighting! Take a form of defence like Karate for a class cuz it teaches u all types of defence moves. Bite. Kick punch YELLLLL as loud as u can. Don't walk where there aren't any people or houses alone at night.

Sound like you need to stay in USA and reserach martial arts first. It sound like your mind have been filled with fairy tales. \n\nI better pop that bubble. There's no things such as chi projectile. You will never be able to throw a chi bolt at someone. There's no secret pressure point that will make people go into seizure and foams at the mouth. There's no magic spirit that will come out of your ass and help you fight. You will never be able to defeate more than 2 or 3 people without help of machine gun or grenade. Medidate and all spiritual crap will only help your morale, but not your skill. Kata will not help you fight better, it just sharpen your form. There's no old man hidden in mountain waiting for right student. There's no secret instructor, anyone who claim to train under one are lying and anyone who claim to be hidden or secret instructor are a poser and a lair who never throw a punch for real. \n\nSo if you want a realistic straight up brutal fighting style, go to Thailand for Muay Thai or become a jewish and join Israeli military special force to learn CQC. Also you can go to brazil for brazilian jiu jitsu but it's a waste of moneys since america have some excellet brazilian jiu jitsu instructor. \n\nIf you want to be stuck in fairy land of Martial arts, go to your local park and find a old asian man in a dress and ask him to teach you something.

Difficult to do without getting cut. If someone is coming at you with a knife, you should probably get use to the idea real quickly than you're going to get cut somewhere. Take a coat or other heavy garment and wrap it around the hand and arm you don't use as much ( eg: I'm right-handed, so I would warp it around my left hand and arm ). \n\nCrouch slightly so you make less of a target and so both arms are out in front of you, elbows bent. Watch your opponent's eyes, not the kinife. Perhiperal vision will tell you if he's making a stab or slice at you. \n\nReach out with the wrapped arm and take a blow from the knife on it, simultaneously turning your other side in towards him. As you do this, bring your non-wrapped arm up over the knife arm, wrapping your arm around his. Use both arms and both hands to gain control of his knife arm, using your non-wrapped arm to hold his arm in place as you apply downward pressure ( as much as you can manage ... use your weight on it ) so that the arm breaks or dislocates. \n\nHe will almost always drop the knife. Make certain he is incapable of picking the knife back up again before you release him. Then release him, pick up the knife and tell him to be still and STFU!  :D\n\nNOTE: trying to disarm a knife-wielding opponent is dangerous in the extreme. Try EVERYTHING you can to placate your opponent before trying to disarm him.

I think you are talking about the relax-and-then-tight transitional release of power that many martial arts styles preach. It has its merits. The sudden muscle contraction allows you to squeeze a little more force into your hits upon impact, not to mention staying in a loose state before impact will spend your energy more efficiently. Moving from a loose and static state to full power, full speed creates a faster acceleration rate than from keeping tight and high-strung state to full power, full speed. All other factors, timing, distance, final speed, mass, being equal; the hit with more acceleration delivers more force upon impact (F=ma). Good martial artists, boxers, and many other athletes stay loose before impact to produce the greatest amount of force possible. Basically, there’s more potential stored power in a relaxed state than a tense state.\n\nOf course, if you are talking about the soft power of internal martial arts like Taichi, Bagua, Aikido, Hapkido, etc., that’s about power awareness, the redirection of existing power and efficient use of generated power. These are manifestations of the martial arts power usage at its highest level. The basic principles are the same as the ones mentioned above except you are now compounding high sensitivity and strategy to reflex and conditioning. For example, in Taichi, a strike undergoes the extremely relaxed and very tight stages to release power upon impact just like any other martial art. However, the style also requires an acute awareness of what stage the opponent power is at and an understanding and application of the best methods of redirection and reuse of the opponent’s power to amplify ones own. This sensitivity and awareness can only be obtained by having a soft touch or being in a relaxed state.\n\nSo, high-strung state is good for final impact to prevent injuries at the last stage of power release. Relaxed state allows sensitivity for strategy, preserves energy, stores more potential energy for release, and allows greater acceleration and range of movement.

My mom has a black belt in Tae Kwon Do.  It is a hard martial art to master.  Some of the katas are really complicated.  She's broken ribs and toes during sparring.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Hapkido, stuff like that. You'll learn wrist locks, pressure points, submission moves, stuff you'll need to arrest perps!
