Yokusoko Kumite

Recommended Posts

anybody else have what they do for the preararranged sparring drills, or partnered self defense drills?

We often do "step'kumite" as a warmup to free sparring.

the person calls out a technique, the other person responds with an "osu" and they began. We do 1, 3 or 5 step. On the last attack, the defender counters.

We call it Sanbon Kumite, 3 step fighting.

We also do Ippon Kumite which is obviously 1 step fighting.

what's the difference between sanbon and ippon kumite?

In ippon kumite, the attacker takes a single step forward from their en guard position and attacks. The defender is expected to counter that attack in some fashion. At the beginner level, the attack will step forward and punch to the face or stomach, and the defender will try to step back, block, and throw a reverse punch.

At more advanced levels, the attack will take a single step or shift forward but might throw two or three hand or foot techniques in combination, and the defender might step forward as well and intercept and counter all in one move, sweep them to the floor as they come in, or shift out and counter as they go by.

In sanbon, three iteration", usually the attacker takes three steps and throws one attack on each step. Beginners try to block 1--2--3 and then counter with a reverse punch. At higher levels, you can play with the rhythm, distancing, changing techniques, etc to make it quite interesting.

apologies for my typing error.

as Shorin Ryuu pointed out, Yakusoko is the correct spelling.

Most probably knew this, but just wanted to acknowledge my typo.
