Sparring



Sparring as it developed in karate competition through the 70s to 80s to early 90s

Traditional karate kumite - free sparring - based on Karate Kumite
Kyukushin - Knockdown and clicker
Seidokan - put on box gloves and allow head punches - Full Contact Karate
K1 - Kickboxing

we still use karate kumite, and boxing hands only, as the basis for STMA freestyle kb

we also have regularly covered 3 arts:
Muay Thai
Savate
freestyle karate - SC KB

the purpose of going into an art, system or style to adopt a training method is to fill in the gaps in what we do, to make everything airtight
