Karate

Going back to traditional karate, as it is in Japan, we are starting to use what can best be described as karate free formula kumite

This fills the ground between Jiyu ippon kumite and free sparring
It is also a lot closer to Street

This kind of sparring is the training used in full contact, knockdown and clicker in karate
The only way to make karate harder is to put on boxing gloves and allow full contact head punch KOs
That is the basis of seidokan

Against 2 punches jab and cross
Block chudan, gedan or Jordan
Return 2 or 3 punches
Add a kick low round leg, Mae Geri , kingeri
