famous Uechi ryu karate Yamashiro dojo / Uechi ryu kumite free sparring training exercise

[@FuKuntt]

That's how real sparring is done. Have an attacker and defender. And reset after contact. Not hoping around looking silly. We called this "command kumite" at my dojo. I imagine they still do. 😂

Yes it's true

Looks... poorly! And this is THE famous dojo! The demonstrators do hop (perhaps, there is hopping and idling in the famous triad of kata's, I personally cannot find any), do not feel their partners, therefore cannot react properly, don't move in unison and cannot put into effect their techniques, which are good. But they try to be decisive in their actions, that's the advantage, of course..

Thank you dear friend for your comments, Yes you are right, but it's free kumite sparring, need for understanding traditional technique

@@evgenyrybin2394Ah! now I see the point- they try to forget everything they studied so hard in kihon and kata (and eventually failed) just in case of getting into street fight some day!:) A most common practice in the traditional martial arts nowadays...
