Hi Alena, all the finals are on the channel now.

I only took full videos of the finals ;( Semi final actions might show up later on in the Shorts.

Hey Isaac, That was a bit of a complicated match. 1st round: England wins by ippon. 2nd round: became a draw due to all penalties England got... That's possible according to the rules, but can be argued, since they had a point. Last stepping out was after time, didn't count (that would have been an ippon win to Czech Republic though). 3rd round: Czech Republic wins with a waza ari Summary England: 1 win, Czech Republic 1 win, in a situation like this the ippon wins count more, therefore England is the Champion.

Hi Isaac, yes he stepped out but he still had scored a wazari. Overall England won because a win by ippon is worth more than a win by wazari

@@beatrizlacerda4662 Hi, thank you for the answer. Isn't it an automatic loss if someone step out 3x? And Was there an Ippon?

@@Isaac_Shamir If jogai hansoku is given yes that leads to disqualification. However, the main judge only gave 2 jogai warnings (and 2 muboubi warnings). As for the ippon, it was scored by England in the first match (with the jodan kick). So in this case the main referee decided to take that into account and award victory to England

Oh, I see, thank you very much!

Injury during the eliminations :(((

Thanks a lot for your message - I might re-edit some videos to hear more reaction. You're absolutely right, sometimes it's REALLY difficult to see the point.

Thanks a lot for your comment - difficult decision, upon watching the video I feel the 2nd point was an aiuchi, they hit at the same time... but shiro started the attack and her punch was closer to the referee - he decided shiro was first.

Appreciated - more to come! All Junior and Senior Finals are rolling out in the next couple of days.

Welcome to the channel :)

Thanks for your insight.

I have all the Junior and Senior finals, they're coming as soon as the editing process is finished.

@@KaratedoFocus thank you!

All videos of the semi finals and finals are coming soon, I'm working on them.

@@KaratedoFocus Thank you! Oss

Hey Isaac, thanks for your comment - well, there are fighting styles suit more to our ideal image of karate, and styles that suit less. The end of the day it's a competition, the one understanding and applying the rules best, the one with the higher technical skills and the one with the stronger spirit wins the match. Whether it's ippon shobu or WKF.

@@KaratedoFocus I agree that in the end of the day that's only a competition however the Japanese Shobu have a very important identity for the world of Karate and for many Karatekas it stands as the very opposite of what Olympic WKF matches represent. JKA and WKF are totally different, it's not only about scoring points, because every amateur sport is about scoring points, the philosophy is different, the fundamentals, the whole thing is so different.

That's why these archives can be so valuable, we all can analyze and learn from the mistakes.

ありがとうございます!

Great power of the judges comes with great responsibility....

No snap back bad form. Even if in it wasn’t as effective. Remember even a wazare is 90% ippon.

@@MrNikoGreek ok, thx. often competition kumite allows whatever to be valid that we even forget this basci concept.

See if Judges think it was blocked attack and was not that effective,,,, they can eliminate anything by the way,,, front view and back view can b tricky ,,, often I thought there was a score ,,,, all three other judges took oath that no contact happened in proper place ,,,, so-------

Even better when you get the privilige to see him live :)

How did it go?

One of my all time favorite!

...and imagine how they feel who fought in the 50s :))

The judges have the right to decide based on the overall performance... I agree, it's a risky decision.

Thanks a lot for your comment! I believe they deserve the compliment.

Thanks a lot for your comment. Not sure, the video I have is pretty much focused on the Japanese team.

What are you talking about? Todome Waza is legit, we see it happen in MMA, just like Mc Greggor did against Jose Aldo amd many other fighters, specially the ones that have Karate background. Shotokan is about distancing management, timing and power.

@@TiagoPortas Yup, Kyokushin has no punching to the face either. The guys just stand in the pocket pounding each other in the mid section and then someone wheel kicks you. Do that MMA and you will get taken down in 2 seconds. Shotokan movement is actually good. Machida already proved it a decade ago.
