Eyesight and Martial Arts Training

No offense but yea as an exfighter yea. It is really important to be able to see clearly.

Get contacts. It's the only feasible alternative to fight someone on an even ground, sparring or actual combat.

That is actually a great idea but for some contacts irritate the eyes especially if you get clocked in the face but if it works for you then by all means go for it.

Sorry bud. It's really tough. Especially when you get to higher levels and people's punches and kicks become so much faster. I have perfect 20/20 vision and even though the punches and kicks are light, the speed is hard to follow.

I would suggest learn Brazilian Jui-Jitsu since you're near sighted. Stand up striking is overrated anyways. Most guys in the UFC gets beaten bad without any ground defense.

You don't really need to wear any contacts or anything, unless you're dealing with seriously fast strikes, like a boxer's punch, or a muay thai elbow. I had like 20/100 and 20/50 eyesight and still fought amateurly pretty damn well.

For me it is not important...
But it will be longer for you to sense the enemy intention to kill than normal sighted people...
That might hinder your progress in martial arts...
cause to feel opponents killing intention is the most important thing in martial arts.... as well for you to show your own killing intention...
Well, I have the same problem....

hm... so basicly if your eyesight is already about 50 you can't pratice martial arts that has fast speed? mine is about 10/10 one of them can't see the light directly. so i wonder what kind of martial arts i can do?

Well i have been practicing Martial arts since i was young, and i have an eye condition called stigmatism pretty much makes my vison blurred and distancing bit off. Things like tkd was a bit harder for me, but things such as kendo, and judo are fine i found even with your disadvantaged vision. Judo for obvious reasons u are holding the person soo u can feel the weight shift of their body soo seeing is really needed. And Kendo you know exactly how long your Sword "Shinai" is and u can use that as a guide to see how far your opponent is, tapping their shinai as a guide.
As for boxing and Muay thai i would assume they would be similar to TKD since they are a striking art, soo maybe look into judo? but if u are keen on doing boing or thai go for it imo! haha goodluck!

You must learn to see not with your eyes, young one, but with your MIND.

Seriously though, you don't necessarily need eyesight for martial arts. After a while you're able to pick up cues that indicate an attack is coming and all that stuff. For reference, see History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi. There's a guy in there that wears glasses and kicks people's asses.

While not impossible to do martial arts with poor eyesight, I can only imagine sharp eyes to be an advantage. You can train your eyes to do certain things though. I had one teacher who recommended flicking water at one's eyes and practicing keeping them open in order to be able to not blink when attacked. I didn't really try it vigorously though, as I was involved in Kung Fu more because I wanted to stay in healthy shape and I liked the artistry of the forms rather than because I wanted to spar or be able to beat people up.

naw I got super bad eyes and I have never had problem with any sport ping pong,boxing,basketball

the key is not to react but to control your opponent, but everyone is different I use glasses but always take them off for sports. need to see well to learn though especially in a big class it is a must
