The KARATE sets thread was opened in 2009 when we were first populating the Boards over the Summer

This was added to in May 2012, our 3 year Anniversary, with the list for Semi Contact KB and Freestyle Karate being the same thing, and the list for Trad Karate One and Two
2014, ten years ago, when we refined the Sets for Trad Karate 3 the ABCs, then sets 4, 5 and 6 - the Defense and Counter sets
As we revisit the Karate sets in our Sparring in 2024, realise these are nothing new - even the most recent Sets were added ten years ago - and they all date back to the Competitions of the 1990s when they were developed and perfected
Similarly the Formula for KENPO Freestyle was listed in August 2013, when we first started covering it, then updated in Aug 2020, seven years later
This is the Set that link KEMPO SD to KENPO Sparring

Of course to make our KICKBOXING Phase work, we take the KARATE and add the BOXING
That is the start and core of Kickboxing, as it came out of Full Contact Karate
You can of course check out the posts on the KB Board at any time:

We add MUAY THAI, specifically the pad drills
We add SAVATE, specifically the ABC partner drills
These sets were listed and published in Summer 2012, at the three year mark, once we had refined and practiced them
The THAI PADS SETs thread was started in Summer 2012, then refined ten years later in 2022

The SAVATE sets were first published in Summer 2012, then added to in 2019

as can be seen, we added more detailed explanation in 2020 and 2022 to cover what had been taught in the lessons over the decade
A lot of KB development was done in the Caterham DOJO, as can be seen in these posts from 2013 and 2015

This was right up to the closure of the Caterham DOJO in May, before our Summer on the Grass, and the opening of the Sanderstead DOJO in the autumn
