STMA syllabus at trad karate set 3

It primarily uses straight punches and round kicks and relates most to Thai set 3

All punches are to the body, none to the head, and there is light contact

Punch only set jab, cross, hook, rear hook, uppercut
This can be practiced on the focus pads
For boxing, simply aim the same punches to the head

Kick only set
Rear low leg kick, hi round kick
Double round kick to body

With double kicks they always bounce off the floor, never stand on one leg and flick
They appear in the Thai sets and are best developed on Thai pads
Can be done to body, leg, or head, mixed different ways
