Love That Knee

[white owl]

We practice knees and elbows in are dojo.

We practice restraint when practicing knees with a partner. Working on blocking them and delivering them correctly, which some people get and some don't.

I like blocking with them but I am a little delayed, to use to point sparing a guess you are not aloud to block with knees.

[Kuma]

Do you wear protective gear when doing this, Kuma, or is this actually full-contact w/o protection?

In jissen kumite, aside from mouthguards and groin protectors we don't wear any other padding. We will adjust the levels of contact though, so one day might be light to moderate, another hard.
