Some of our kumite practice is done in bare feet and with no body protection.  In these instances, students are expected to learn how to control their punches, strikes and kicks so as not to injure their sparring partner.  This control is known as Kime.  When students wear protective gear and shoes, they learn how to adapt their training to the reality of the streets.  Full contact and full power are expected when using protective gear.</div> <bR> <div>  </div> </td> <td valign="top" height=390 BGCOLOR="#FFCC66" TEXT="#080000"> <div> <B>Jiu Kumite Practice</B></div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="abf4ebb0.jpg" border=0 width="590" height="443" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <IMG SRC="abd4cce0.jpg" border=0 width="588" height="462" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <IMG SRC="ac14dba0.jpg" border=0 width="589" height="442" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <IMG SRC="ab94d380.jpg" border=0 width="589" height="568" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <IMG SRC="abb4daa0.jpg" border=0 width="589" height="682" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
