Introduction

KUMITE

 

Kumite (or simply sparring) in Japanese means “Grappling Hands or meeting of hands”. It is one of the three main sections of Karate training, after Kata and Kihon. Kumite is application of techniques learnt from Kata and Kihon.

Types :

v  Beginner Level  :-

Ø  Kihon-Gohon-Kumite  : “Basic five step sparring” is practiced by beginners. The attacker takes five steps forward of attack in succession where defender take backwards steps blocking each attack. Then defender performs counter attack at the last. This is helpful for beginners to learn application of Kihon.

Ø  Kihon-Sanbon-Kumite : “Basic three step sparring” is very similar to five step sparring but steps are reduced to three. It trains Karateka about proper distance while sparring.

v  Intermediate Level  :-

Ø   Kihon-Ippon-Kumite : “Basic one step sparring” is used to learn to apply Kihon quickly and properly. First attack is performed then defender counter-attacks after defending from attack.

Ø  Jiyu-Ippon-Kumite : “Free-style one step sparring” is very similar to kihon ippon kumite but it is not pre planned. Both opponents get equal freedom to attack. Sparring is over just after performing one attack and counter attacking after defending it.

v  Advanced Level  :-

Ø  Jiyu Kumite : “Free-sparring” is extended version of jiyu ippon kumite where opponents continue to fight using full speed and techniques. It requires high skill to practice and master it. Its also provides an  excellent opportunity to test someone’s skills.

Ø  Shiai Kumite : “Competition Sparring” is the kumite performed at tournaments. It is more like a sport and have strict rules and regulations as constituted by WKF.  It is performed for points. At the end, winner is also declared on the basis of points and penalties given by Refree and Judges.

Ø  Oyo Kumite : “Application Sparring” is also called Bunkai is practiced after performing kata to show application of various techniques used in it. Oyo means ‘to apply’. It is practiced by highly skilled Kartekas.
