Any good karate kumite combinations?

Question

Can anyone please tell some really good (kyokushin rules) full contact combination and moves? I might be facing these green belts (I'm blue) and I dont want to get beaten up. Thank you

Answer 1

Sweep their front leg, and immediately follow up with a jab-cross.

Look at your opponent's leg for a second as if you are going to sweep, and from there go for a head-kick (keep in mind that you always have to look at the chest).

Those worked well for me for ryobu-kai karate tournaments as a yellow belt.

Answer 2

If you're not doing well in Kumite, then you obviously aren't as good at Kihon and Kata as you think you are. I don't say this to bring you down, but the fact is Kumite is where application from those come in. Matters such as coordination, movement and concentration are things developed from Kihon and Kata training. Endurance and stamina are important, but that's developed from constant training and practice. Kumite shouldn't be seen as playing around. You're using what you've developed from your regular training. For instance, unless you train to bounce around then in sparring you should avoid that. Same goes with Taisabaki, movement. Coordination can be a problem for people, but when you start to think ahead instead of focusing on the immediate moment, then coordination becomes a matter of following through. Try to keep Kumite in no different of a training method as Kihon and Kata. Keep practicing and things will get better. You might not see it right away, but it will. Have some faith.

Answer 4

How is your lead leg side kick? The reason why I ask is since the lead leg side kick is a straight line method of attack you can use it offensivley like a jab if you have a good, strong, fast one and they will have a problem closing the distance. Also you can use it to close the door behind you in the middle or at the end of some of your combinations so that your opponent can not blitz or charge you and close the gap to counter you or follow your combinations back in very easily. Most people's leg is longer than their opponent's arms and when they are reaching or trying to close the gap and you lift your lead leg to side kick your head will go back slighlty making it harder to reach and you aim for under the arms to the parts of the midsection as they expose them in their attack. You have to be able to do what they refer to sometimes as "stand on your kick" or retain your balance and not get bowled over. It goes without saying that if you have a good lead leg side kick you probably have a few other good kicks as well and you can use them interchangeablly. This is one of Bill Walace's theories on kicking that can be very effective if you have good kicks.

You can also use your side kick to slide and move while kicking offensively and keep your opponent's weight back on their heals and then come down off of it and blitz yourself and followup with hand combinations or other kicks and attack them. How fast you can come down off of it and then move forward is critical in doing this. Besides these strategies you can also use your side kick in conjuction with round house, hook, and ax kicks to spread their hands and arms or defense and either attack in between their arms or hands or kick above or below their defense as well depending on how they have their hands and arms positioned.

Besides Bill Wallace's book on kicking, I would also recommend Joe Louis's book on fighting that talks about distance and motion and movement and gives some very good incites on those aspects as well. A third is Christine Bannion Rodriguez's book on kicking combinations and while some of the aspects are not great for full contact type fighting they can still be very useful. Good luck!

Answer 5

Look just try a do attacks that would inflict the most damage! You know the ones that score you the most points! Try to get in punching distance and punch them very fast. Then if they try to punch you side step and do it again or go for kicks! Try to do some fakes and mix it up with body movement. The green belts would think your going for it but they'll defend to early and get a Beating!

Answer 6

i wouldn't recommend looking at their leg becuz when i'm training or fighting 4 mma i look at the opponents eyes it almost always tells u wht their going 2 do if their eyes r looking down or lower then most likely they r going 2 wrestle if they r looking at my eyes they r probly going 2 stand up well good luck.

Answer 7

snap kick with no contact, land your kicking leg close to them and jab as you come down. If you do it fast enough they wil still be blocking your kick when you punch.

Answer 8

Use YOUR best set of abilities.NOT someone elses.That is what you do in Practice in the dojo.
