Again, after last nights performance I am finding myself having to apologise yet again for aggressive contact during our kumite practice. To everyone that I made contact with that I shouldn’t have I am sorry. It is getting difficult for me to take part in this section because of this. I have practised on the makiwara and am happy with my distancing regarding this, but I use the same distancing with partner work and resulting in too many contacts. I understand that many in the club can hit back during their turn but this will not alter my distance. I start from quite far away but find myself going lower and still reaching the target, any tips would be greatly appreciated.
