username19853 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I’ve recently learned about Toguchi’s contribution, but what I’d like to learn more about are the different kumite of Goju Ryu, specifically: - Kiso Kumite- Jissen Kumite- Ippon KumiteHow do they work, and what are they?Whenever I find a video of, say, kiso Kumite, I’ll see one partner drill and then multiple variations of that afterwards. Are there different levels within each kiso, jissen and ippon kumite? Or are there only the 3?Can anyone provide a link explaining them more, or even better, a video of each one? Currently reading Karate: Beaneath The Surface by Kenneth Kamen and it’s intriguing! Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moegster Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I am studying "GOJU RYU KARATE - A VISUAL GUIDE TO KUMITE, Goshi Yamaguchi"which explaines the different forms and intentions of kumite. It's an interesting read, if you're interested in the yamaguchi lineage of goju ryu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samlaren Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 There are a lot of kumite forms in Goju Ryu. The foundation is Kakie. It helps with reflexes, attacking, counter, balance and to get a feeling of how a opponent behaves when challenged. If you master Kakie you will have a real good foundation for all other forms of kumite.The next variation is probably Ippon kumite, or rather Kihon ippon kumite. One attack, one defence and one counter attack.After that we have San dan gi, three level techniques. Very fun and can be very free,But there are also Sanbon and Gohon kumite, three and steps sparring, kiso and bunkai kumite, ju/jiyu kumite and other variations.Not all forms of kumite are used in all styles, and some have even more variations.

username19853 Posted January 16, 2021 Author Share Posted January 16, 2021 Samlaren,Thank you so much for that response! Exactly what I was looking for. I’m always so fascinated by Goju Ryu, even though my style is Shorin Ryu. Still wish there was a Goju place where I live! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
