What Is Modern Kumite?
Modern Kumite is a full-contact sport inspired by Indian martial arts such as Kalaripayattu and Malla-Yuddha, and informed by global systems like Karate and Taekwondo. It emphasizes strategic combat, clean technique, ethical behavior, and inclusivity across age, gender, and ability.
