About Competition Training: Kumite & Sparring

Sparring is not about hitting hard, it is about playing chess with your body. In my Kumite sessions, we do not just trade blows. We break down the 'Maai' (distance) and timing. You will learn to bait your opponent, lure them into a mistake, and score. Come ready to move, because if you stand still on my mat, you will get hit.
