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
