What’s the hardest part of sparring? Getting hit in the face? Mixing punches and kicks? Seeing peripherally out of that stupid helmet?
Nope.
The round is over; it’s time to rotate.
In the spirit of Krav Maga Sparring Drills for Visual Learners, I present a visual guide to sparring rotation.
Version 1
At the end of the round, everyone returns to their starting positions, then everyone moves one position to their left. If there is an odd number of students, the student in the bottom left corner is the next to be “odd person out” and returns to the rotation in the following round.
Version 2
At the end of the round, everyone returns to their starting positions, then everyone moves one position to their left except the student in the bottom left corner. This ensures everyone gets to spar one another.
I think there is the potential for an xkcd comic in here somewhere…
This reminds me of the panflute flowchart
