Kumite techniques and tactics. Hi friends. Thanks for visiting and welcome again to my page about kumite techniques and tactics. Today, I would like to ask you have you ever been a too excited before your fights. Have you ever felt an anxiety or alarm before the fights? Did it ever help you to win? I suppose that definitely not. When I was younger, I mean a really younger, you know. I always felt anxiety and alarm before the fights very much. I have begun to train karate in 1986. I was 16 years old school-boy. Russia have called as USSR in that time. The terrible fact was that in that time into my country was a law under which Karate classes were punished the USSR government by criminal penalties! All of people who interested karate risked of going to jail. Any competitions were not possible. Nobody could not train and learn karate legally. All of us were out the law! This was a dangerous time but our desire to study karate was stronger than all the prohibitions. We studied and risked! We have felt ourselves like as members of the secret order of karate, it was very fun.
