we are already covering boxing sets with pads regularly
we will move onto box partner drills
and box sparring
this mean sparring will go:
chi sao
karate
punch and kick body
no punch head, no kick legs
boxing
punching head
body punching secondary
kickboxing standard
punching head, kicking body
head kicks and body punches secondary
kb freeplay
leg kicks added
so boxing sparring, done properly, is a useful bridge between karate and kb - it is not just "kickboxing without kicks"
we will also play a set chi sao to boxing and back
