No you can't, if you could you'd see they were looking at their opponents waist or shoulders.

if you look at my hips, your eyes are looking downward, which can be seen on any video

btw, Im not saying fighters don't look at their opponent's waist

my point is that you generally look at your opponent's face/head since that is the main target

srank was trying to say that you could win a fight while only focused on looking at someone's waist...which is malarky

Well show me a video that focuses on the fighter's eyes first.

And which part aside from when they where shaking hands makes you think they were in a staring contest?

for starters ju jistu for one you never look the opponet in the eye let a lone for an entire fight.

how could you aim for someone's head without looking at their head? that makes no sense

Peripheral vision. I can see my whole computer screen even if a focus on a single word.

where in that video is the camera focused on both fighter's eyes? kind of hard to focus on both of their eyes unless they were like cheek and cheek.

bball players can see the hoop with their peripheral vision...but you still need to look directly at the hoop to take a shot

as to battlehammer's point: yeah I could actually accept that in judo you don't need to look at your opponent's face.

Fighters look at the shoulders/midsection so they see everything. You can catch kicks, punches, knees, elbows, and you can see where their heads are from that angle.

If you're only focused on the head, then it's harder to see punches, and reacting to kicks might as well be a guess.

If even an announcer catches a fighter staring at the head in the fight, they will point out how wrong that is. That's because it's common knowledge.

Masterbruce, you look like you have HDNet... if so, turn to that channel, and watch K-1 right now. If you don't, then go watch something on Youtube.

btw, this clip is better to prove my point

eyecontact throughout the fight

It could with training.

Well, apparently Masterbruce knows more about fighting than everyone else on world and all the professionals are doing it wrong.

if they could, believe me they would since that would fake out their defenders

are you comparing base ball to fighting?

There not conparable. Hey how about this masterbruces go into a fight look the entire time in your opponets eyes and tell us how the ass kicking felt

so you're telling me you can fight successfully without ever looking directly at your opponent's head (assuming both of you are equally skilled)?

nba players train their entire lives and they can't shoot with peripheral vision

if they could, believe me they would since that would fake out their defenders

i was talking about the first point you made.

I certainly understand the logic in looking at their waist and shoulders...but looking at your opponents face is critical in a fight...to seeing where they're looking at, how injured they are, etc
