Weekly Centralised trainingKumite/組み手 (sparring)
Renshinkan/鎌心館 dōjō
Honbu dōjō/本部道場 (Headquarters Training hall)

Throwback to active-practitioner casual-competitor days.

This is one of the very few video recording of Jiyu Kumite/自由組み手 (free sparring) training. Back in the days before becoming a Karate instructor and was when I was seriously competing, and training sessions were taken extremely seriously, unfortunately, smartphones weren’t a thing yet.

By this time of this recording, I was in the early years as a Karate instructor and retired from competing seriously on a national level, but still actively trains and casually compete.

Here, we would randomly transition from jigeikō/地稽古 (field/true training; objective is not to win but to practice techniques and tactics) to shiai geikō/試合稽古 (practice match; objective is not to win but like a competition match) and reverse. Though we train seriously, but also joke around amongst long-time peers. Enjoy.
