Karate kumite with the karate pads, forearm and hand mitts

Karate set one and two are progressive attack sets, which we didn't cover today

Karate traditionally has two kumite phases, Kihon ippon and jiyu ippon, so in a way they can be viewed as karate sets one and two

So we start with set three, the attack set
ABC - Attack By Combination

We then did sets four, five and six, which are the defensive sets, based on the first beat being a block
Set four is forearm to firearm
Set five is forearm to shin
Set six is shin to shin

We then tried out freestyle karate sparring, Jiyu Kumite

In karate kumite we don't punch the face, we use the chest punch to signify the face, and punch the body
Kicks are to the leg, body and head
We also have backfists, Uraken, lead hand, rear hand, and spinning
