Sanbon Kumite (Pre-Yellow 1 / 2, Yellow 1 / 2 and Orange 1 / 2)
Aka steps back into basic kamae with the right leg. “Sanbon” is nominated and attacks Jodan with Oi-zuki, followed by a Chudan Oi-zuki and lastly a Chudan Mae-geri. Shiro defends Age-uke, Soto-uke and Gedan-barai with a Chudan Gyaku-zuki counter attack. Both competitors return to yoi. Shiro will now attack in the same manner as Aka. No variations to this sequence will be allowed!
