New Kumite Formats

[Kyoshi Brent Baker]

Instructors,

Recently, we have implemented some new formats for kumite at the dojo:

1. Advanced Class – The last 15 minutes of each Advanced Class is dedicated to kumite, for those who have gear and wish to spar.

2. Saturday Kumite – Once per month. This week we set up three “zones” with Black Belts running each, keeping it flexible.

I’d like to hear your feedback on either or both of these items. If there are things that need adjusting, I’d like to do it sooner rather than later.

One change that I’ve already made is to change which Saturday this will fall on, so we don’t have a Monday night kumite falling right after a Saturday morning kumite!

Well, for now, I think I’m liking both! Especially Sat. Kumite! Lots of variety.
