In Japanese, the Kumite literally translated means,
either combat or fight. It is also called Jiju Kumi-
te; it literally means free fight. It is a combat whe-
re all kind of actions or techniques are valid, be it
to attack or as defense. At the Dojo, the Jiju Ku-
mite is essential, since Jiju Kumite itself resembles
a real fight. It is difficult to belief that at present,
some schools do not carry out the Jiju Kumite te-
chniques. How can a practitioner comprehend the
real basis of the movements and kicks he has been
learning? Nobody can understand a martial art te-
chnique without previously performing it in broad
combat; it is the opportunity one has to check the
efectiveness of the technique.
