The karate combinations tonight came from the traditional sets
Set 3 is attack by combinations ABC
HH hand hand
HF hand foot
FH foot hand
Ff foot foot
Set 4 block forearm to forearm
Set 5 block forearm to shin
Set 6 block shin to shin
In traditional karate we have two basic sets of ABC which are listed
We can also use kihon ippon and Jiyu ippon kumite as set one and two in a workout before moving onto set 3
In the traditional kumite a student moves from Jiyu ippon to Jiyu free sparring, which can be a bit of a jump, and leaves gaps - so we use the KK sets, which here are 4, 5, and 6, as well as 3, as partner drills to cover everything a student needs to make them fully competent in karate sparring
In karate sparring we do not punch to the face
Punches are to the chest and hara, straight and curved
Kicks are to leg, body and head
In boxing we primarily punch the head
Body blows are secondary
Add karate and boxing together and we have Full Contact Kickboxing
Then we add the drills from
Muay Thai and Savate
