Best way to spar

[ShoriKid]

What I'd like to see that I can't find in any dojo is kumite starting and staying in a 3 foot area at roughly 25% contact. And it should allow non strikes such as arm locks and throws.

But it needs to be done under close scrutiny with immediate feedback from instructors who has a better view of what is going on. Instuctors should be instructing, not participants.

Center of our matted work out area is a 2x2m square. We've worked in that area with the rest of the class gathered around to keep everyone in and used a very wide range of techniques. We've sparred with a spare belt strapping you to each other at about arm's length. You really have to keep pressure on and work on that sensitivity or it's just rock'm sock'm robots.

That's really good.

Of course, I'd cheat and use the belt to my advantage.
