Yes to nivelson.
Key things he needs to work on
1. Style
2. Flow
3. Relaxing joints
4. Realism
Good luck, nivel.
@luigy69 - As for your part, the beginning run looked weird because you constantly extended then contracted your hips, which caused you to look as if your leg was having a seizure. I don't like how you fully extended your leg on that second step you took. It looked quite stiff. The kick flowed in nicely after a couple of weird movements, but right after it, it looked really weird. You rotated your chest from right to left constantly. Again, it looked as if you were having a seizure. I know that you did it to do another kick, but it wasn't worth it. The second kick looked stiff and it didn't quite flow right with your movement. Try not to extend then contract then extend your knee like that. It looks as if you were trying to be point hungry. I like that sort of wheel kick that followed through once you planted your hand on the ground. The next wheel kick looked pretty clean, but then you did this type of split position and threw a punch, which made you lose most of your balance. Try not to do hits that you know will make you lose your balance. After that you did a stiffy back walk kind of thing which looked kinda weird. Try not to do behind the back slaps. It's not a very realistic type of hit. If you're running low on the amount of frames and you get hit hard to your head, just lax all. Even if you have more points, it's way better than not having a pose and just tipping over strangely. You did well, but had some stiffness problems and you need to work on the positioning of your hits.
Now, as for Nervoso, his beginning run was okay, but he was a little stiff in the elbows. I like the smoothness of that first punch he threw, but the positioning of it was pretty weird. Then, he kept reversing his flow which doesn't look too good. By that I mean he moves his body into one direction, but suddenly stops it by foot planting and kicking off the ground or slamming his hand down into the floor. He looks a bit confused after that, like he didn't know what to do next. The back kick looked a bit stiff in the knee after that moment of confusion. But, he flows in another nice, smooth kick right after. I liked how he moved into another kick, but I dislike how he was kind of moving away from your position. It's always better to be near your partner than to look good but be far away. He tried to do an extremerun spin set up, but he was leaned way too far to the left, which means that his right leg didn't have enough footing to kick off. He then reverses his flow again by planting his hand, but it lead to a somewhat smooth kick. The rest of the spar was pretty smooth, except for some stiff hits. He did a pretty good job, but needs to work on maintaining his flow into one whole movement, and he needs to try and maintain his balance more.
Most importantly, not just to the both of you, but to every sparrer,
please, hold your neck so that it doesn't bobble around like a toy. It looks very strange, and it ruins the look of some good moves some sparrers do. I see it a lot, and it's not a big deal, but in reality, your head won't be bobbling like that.
