Jumbi Undō – Structure¶
Scope¶
The overall training perspective is described in the Kyokushinkai section.
This page describes how Jumbi Undō is organized and performed in practice.
Sequence¶
Jumbi Undō is performed as a fixed and standardized series of exercises.
The order is consistent and is followed in the same way in training and instruction.
Each exercise builds on the previous one and forms part of a coherent whole.
Knowledge is developed through continuous and repeated practice.
Progression¶
The exercises follow a clear progression through the body:
- activation – feet, ankles, and balance
- lower body – knees and legs
- hips and trunk
- mobility and stretching
- seated control and flexibility
- standing whole-body movement
- upper body
- technical activation
This progression prepares the body step by step, from simple activation to integrated movement and technical readiness.
Numbering¶
The exercises are organized in a fixed order:
- 00 – start of Jumbi Undō
- 01–42 – exercises in sequence
The numbering corresponds to the performance in the dōjō and is used as a reference in instruction and documentation.
Counting¶
Standard counting is used:
Ichi, ni, san, shi, go, roku, shichi, hachi, kyū, jū
The counting governs:
- tempo
- number of repetitions
- coordination in the group
It establishes a shared rhythm and structure in training.
Leadership¶
Jumbi Undō is led by:
- the instructor
- or a senior student
Commands are given clearly and the group follows together.
The leadership ensures correct tempo, rhythm, and execution.

Each exercise is part of the whole and should be understood in relation to the sequence.
