Comps Digest3

There are many cases of fighting with different size people, and bigger tend to beat smaller with heavy & hard-hitting and long reach. This is a typical example, I could not stop the opponent crashing into me. I need to think of strategy and train harder. Please give your good idea.    WSKF Stephen sensei thank you for the advice, I will pursue better ways.

Comps Digest2

Kata tournament rules are depend on the comp size.  Typically;

for 1st round: Shitei kata referee's choice (from Heian shodan to Tekki shodan) - Red/white flag system,

for 2nd round: Sentei kata referee's choice (from Jion, Empi, Bassai D, and Kanku D) - Red/white flag system, 

for final: Shido kata competitor's choice (from the rest of Katas) - Point system.

Comps Digest1

The comps was traditional 'Shobu Ippon' kumite - kill with one blow - style. Mostly hitting the jaw or stomach with proper timing, distance and strength get into waza-ari.

Waza-ari + waza-ari = Ippon. (Much different from WKF style)
