André Bertel July 2023 Training Regime

My current training routine typically contains ‘the 3 K’s—基本 (Kihon), 型 (Kata) and 組手 (Kumite)—the technical ‘Trinity of Karatedo’. In the case of kihon I’m practicing a mix of 20 waza/renwaza. 12 of these are その場基本 (stationary fundamentals) and the other eight are 移動基本 (fundamentals on the move). For kata, I’m currently focused on five (four set, and one random/interchangeable daily). And lastly, in the case of kumite I’m having my regular stint of 返し一本組手 (Kaeshi Ippon Kumite). To clarify, I do this as it greatly sharpens the ability to attack with high efficiency, and just “…let the attack do its own thing”; thereby, allowing us to focus on kime in our secondary attack or defend and counter the opponents counter. In sum, it’s training attack and defense/counterattack simultaneously. If one possesses tradition budo/bujutsu waza, this methodology is highly effective in both dojo kumite, shiai and the real world. Today, I will not add sets and reps but, rather, emphasize that I’m training according to my daily condition in these regards. However, each day's self-training is no less than two hours in duration. Okay! So, let’s get on to it.

組手

KUMITE

返し一本組手 (Kaeshi Ippon Kumite).

 

I have only been practicing level three Kaeshi Ippon, but in order to explain it, here’s also a description of levels one and two.

 

 Level One: the kogeki (attacks) are set, as in ‘standard jiyu ippon kumite’ {jodan oizuki, chudan oi-zuki, chudan mae-geri, chudan yoko-kekomi, chudan or jodan mawashi-geri and chudan ushiro-geri}; however, the hangeki (counterattack) must either be chudan or jodan gyaku-zuki. The initial attacker then defends and counters against either of these counter attacks. In sum, the initial attacker counters the defender's counterattack.

 

 Level Two: This is the same as level one with the exception that the hangeki is jiyu-waza (free technique). This is the most commonly practiced form of Kaeshi Ippon Kumite.

 

 Level Three: In this variation, which is what I’m actually practicing at present, the initial attack is also free and not announced. Needless to say, this training is really “…on the edge of becoming jiyu-kumite, whilst bridging strongly to the core fundamentals.”
