From drills to free sparring.
Kumite is built up step by step through the ranks: five-step sparring (gohon kumite), basic one-step sparring (kihon ippon kumite), semi-free sparring (jyu ippon kumite) and free sparring (jyu kumite). Gloves and foot protectors are required for free sparring; focus mitts for Sparring Skills classes.
★★★★★I have been training at The Powerhouse for nearly a decade now. I am proud to say that the quality of training I have received has been phenomenal. If you want to train at a dojo that's professional, extremely high quality, and offers a real sense of community, then look no further.
