Talk:Kumite

Untitled

This article needs a rewrite, especially near the end (use of "you" isn't good and especially "I am sure you will enjoy..."). In fact I'd consider this a stub and will now mark it as such. --Furrykef 15:41, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)

MUCH better. :) --Furrykef 07:53, 7 Mar 2004 (UTC)

For practitioners of full contact karate, "pulling" a technique and "controlling" a technique are very different. "Pulling" a technique is throwing that technique such that, although it is thrown with full force, it is stopped just before, or just after contact is made. "Controlling" a technique is throwing the technique properly (with good form), to the desired target, and with appropriate force.

Also many styles of full contact karate do not practice full contact kumite in the dojo at all times. A common rule is for the more advanced karateka to fight at slightly above the level of the less advanced --24.195.60.53 13:06, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

disambiguation needed?

I thought kumite (before I knew about this term) meant the specific secret tournament in Bloodsport (if it exists) not just a general term for sparring, is that another meaning of it? 71.184.110.64 (talk) 05:29, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Pronountiation

I would appreciate a pronunciation hint for 組手 or ku-mi-te, best in IPA-spelling. In my understanding, it should be porounced like "cumite" in spanish, not like "kyu-mayt". ThomasPusch (talk) 11:20, 8 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
