How does your dojo practice your tuite techniques in kumite? Do you ever get to the point where you free spar? If so, how so?
Tuite being used in jiyu kumite can get dangerous real fast I would say more like Yakusoku kumite would be better.
I don't think it hinders the development I mean never used it in kumite and yet now I can react to a expected attack but it took a lot and I mean a lot repetition and building slow to fast to get that way.Does the lack of free sparring hinder one's development of tuite? Or are the safer, more regimented exercises good enough?
We do allow full locks and takedowns during jiyu kumite for brown belt and above. You are expected to take care of yourself by tapping when needed.
Pressure point and nerve strikes are never allowed on a fellow student although they are taught as part of the curriculum.
