1st Kumite competition this afternoon

I am participating in my first kumite competition this afternoon. This is our first club competition for members of Elite Karate Centres and we have finally managed to persuade 30 people to enter. This will be the first kumite competition for pretty well all of us so it should be an interesting experience!

According to the flyer this promises to be "....a fun day and a relaxed atmosphere with a competitive spirit." We kick off with an explanation of the rules followed by a mixed team kumite warm up (the fun part). Then the individual kumite event starts after that (the competitive part).

I'll let you know how it goes.
