Kumite

Kumite (Japanese: 組手, literally "grappling hands") is one of the three main sections of karate training, along with kata and kihon. Kumite is the part of karate in which a person trains against an adversary.

For the 2003 Hong Kong film alternatively titled The Kumite, see Star Runner. For the fictional martial arts tournament, see Bloodsport (film).

Kumite can be used to develop a particular technique or a skill (e.g. effectively judging and adjusting one's distance from one's opponent) or it can be done in competition.
