Let’s begin. • Let’s begin. When we go into the fighting we almost invariably have the trainer, the team partner or sparring partner standing at the back of us on the edge of tatami. They support us and are worried about us. I prefer they not only to worry about an outcome of fighting but also to take active part in it. But two competitors against the one is better than one to one – I tried it on myself. • To realize all this successfully we have to go into special training. At first you have to define which blow your partner will help you with. He won’t have to get on tatami and beat your competitor. But you can believe me that your competitor will be very astonished and you gain a clear victory over your opponent by knockdown or knockout. It depends on how close you will cooperate with your partner. • One of the blows which I used on this method is a left middle kick. One should take into account that you can choose an only blow for one fight as your secret weapon. Let’s consider how to use the left middle kick. You arrange with your partner that he’ll watch for a position of the left hand of your competitor. He has to keep an careful eye on when the opponent raises his right elbow and exposes his liver to your attack. Your partner must be an experienced fighter to see all the opportunities to attack the right side of your opponent.

Hi, friends! • Hi, friends! Today I’d like to share with you one of my secret that I began using on competition as far back as in 1994. And the following competitive practice proved its efficiency. I suppose this secret is a matter of topical interest even now. Using of this strategy is available only then you stand on a high level of execution and tactical training. If you want to use this method efficiently, you‘ll have to spend some time for training, but the result repays all your efforts. Anyway, you’ll improve your knowledge and comprehension of kumite and tactic and strategy of fighting. Our way in karate is like a way of the practical scientist. The harder we study something new and unknown, the more remarkable results we achieve. • It’s a matter of co-operation with the partner during a fight itself. If you bring up the co-operation with your partner to perfection, your opponent will be forced to fight not face to face against you but against two competitors of high level. Just don’t think that I suggest you getting on tatami with your partner, it’s forbidden by rules, but if you make use of my method, you won’t be alone on tatami and it won’t break any rules of fighting.

In 1987 year In 1987 year, this law has been canceled. The result of this prohibition was back that nobody has had any experience of really competition fights. In addition, a little bit of masters have had a wish to share with somebody their knowledge of Karate. That is why I decided to improve my fighting skills on my own. Nobody could not help me. Well, I have some advice for you about how to prepare for competitions. If you are feeling yourself, too excited before the fights you need to take a special training. The first thing that can help you gets rid of the anxiety is simulation of competitions. What do I mean under that term? I mean that you need to spend a special training. Choose some quiet music. Use your audio plyer for it. Wear your kimono then wear a sports suit and running shoes. Start jogging from one wall of the dojo to the other. Listen to the music and do jogging for example 15 minutes. After that make three round of fights with shadow for 2 minute every. Work hard and intensive. Then imagine that referee have given the victory to you. Continue your jogging and listen to the music. Repeat this circle of exercises as long as you can. For example during about two hours. How do you think will you be alarmed or worried? I am sure you will be quiet and fun. When the day of competition will come just repeat, these actions without fights with shadow (remember that on their place will be real fights). Jogging. Listen to the music. Do not look any fights of anybody. Do not worry. You did all that you can earlier. Now it is just time for fight. I am so sorry for my too long post! The most terrible fact that it is a little bit of part knowledge about what must you do when you participate in competitions. Anyway, please feel free and ask me any questions if you would like. Take my best wishes and have a good time. Osu!

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.
