Kumite 3, 4 and 5

You do not need a partner to practice the kumite series.

Start as if there were a defender and start process.  You can also become the defender first by having your first move be the moves of the defender and repeat the process. For better results practice in front of a mirror so that proper form and positioning of blocks and strikes can be noted (accuracy of technique)

For teaching purposes attacker 1 will be called 1 and defender 2 will be called 2
