Karate Jiyu Kumite is Free Sparring
Although we use pads and allow light contact to the body in the basic version a more advanced version, where everything is pulled Sundome, allows a much free-er play with the kumite moves, such as lining an elbow to ribs or face punch, in a more spontaneous flow
this drill is much like Kali's panatukan boxing and sikaran kickboxing - whereas in hubud and numerada you use CRAs in a flow, but not atually spar for safety, at the kb range you would flow the lethal techniques of kempo and karate without actually "sparring" them with contact
this is usually done at a more advanced level, brown and black belt
in the JKA in Japan, you need to be a brown belt, having learnt the Heian katas and their applications as well as the ippon kumite, before you are allowed to free spar
