Why does kihon, go to pot when students do kumite ?
I find it very frustrating that even though it is stressed that in all forms of kumite, even the Juy-kumite; form, posture and stance should exemplify that of good kihon, students invariably revert to weak techniques and stances when facing a partner. This happens to students who do most of their training in kihon, do the techniques over and over to a count with a partner, have excellent kihon and yet, look like two ten year old girls slapping each other in all forms of kumite without a count.
Why ?
