Isolation sparring

 

boxing - hands only
kb standard - add kick - to head and body
thai - lo kix to thigh and knee strikes
savate - all lo kicks
kick only - kb standard
kick only - lo kix

so we smooth this out to create 3 sparring styles for the dojo, all "belt up", no lo kix:

boxing
kb
kix only

now you matrix:

box v box
box v kb
box v kix
kb v kb
kb v kix
kix v kix

the basic 6 henka

another dimension is added when we allow lo kix

box v kb
box v kix

kb v kb
kb v kix

an attacking boxer will have to deal with the lo kick when closing the gap to punch range

and it's a different game using kix when your supporting leg is being attacked

we then add knees:

box with knees - thai without kix - box wk
thai boxer - tb

box wk v box
v box wk
x tb

then we matrix

box wk
v kb
v kix
