Hi to you all.

May I ask please what the role of various Wado specific Kumite/Gumite
plays within your clubs and personal experience? I'm specifically
interested in set pattern Kumite, as opposed to Jiyu Kumite.

I'd also like to know the historical importance of them, again within a
Wado context.

I'm becoming a little more familiar with Kihon Kumite, which appears to
be standardised across many Wado organisations. But what of Ippon,
Sanbon and Ohyo Kumite? This seems a little looser between
organisations, clubs and countries.

While my question is based somewhat on wanting to learn as much about
Wado as is possible, there is also a syllabus element. Any thoughts on
how Kumite contributes to building up an individuals skills over time
is also appreciated.

Regards, and thank you all

Brian
