Mitimiti 

Is a 1 on 1 activity that was traditionally used to train soldiers in hand to hand combat.

It can be used an icebreaking activity by rotating players, or as a warm up for more strenuous games.

Players stand opposite each other at arms length. Both players feet must remain planted or point to the other player.

The idea is to strike your opponent with an open hand, palms facing upwards, while the opposition tries to evade the attacker.

Like most games there are lots of ways to play mitimiti, the following are some basic versions.

Level 1 is hit the shoulder, level 2 shoulder and the waist, level 3 shoulder, waist and the knees.

Remember it's more of a tag than a smash! If you hit your opponent hard, then they can get you back!

Each player has 10 attempts to strike the opposing player, if they hit the target they score a point, if they miss, the opponent gets a point.

Another option is to play 30-60 seconds for each person to attack, add up the points from hits and misses to determine the winner.

Depending on the flexibility and fitness of the group most games only progress to level 1, if you get past level 3 you can add blocking and any one can strike at any time.
