Right now, every class. This is because Canadian's are next weekand so we are concentrating on fight training. Normally though I would say at least once a week we do pad work.

Every week in my instructors freestyle self defence class. Roughly once a week in karate lesson, but it depends on what we're doing and working on that week.

 

Good luck for the Canadian's, Dijita - are you entering or is it just others from your dojo?

We try to do pad work at least once a week, usually Wednesday's are reserved just for Kumite or fitness.

In my lessons: About one week in every 5/6 weeks

 

In my senior's lessons: Never

 

Pad work is something I think is very important for developing useful techniques... I think everybody falls backwards or 'bounces off' when hitting a pad or bag for the first time... I know I did :roll:

 

We use a thick pad for power (adults only - dont want damaged joints etc for the kids!) and focus mits for accuracy (all students).

Thanks! :) Yes I am competing. I am very nervous.... but I have trained very hard. If I can stay calm I will do well.

Sorry Fat Donkey, tournement is at UBC in Vancouver. Though if you want to see a Kyokushin tournement I'll let you know when there is one in Alberta. Though it probably won't be for a long time.
