Woooooooow Respekt Grande maester OSS

Yeah right

Duh, it's to protect the contestants. Not every martial art needs to be about guys trading concussions.

@@Jaska124 and not every martial is about playing tag either

@@dakentaijutsu2010 You're absolutely right. This style of karate does allow knockouts in competition due to the protection, this match just happened to be quite bad. Feel free to check out the renshinkan karate playlist composed by Atte Kukkula here, to get a more comprensive picture. Hating on this video is like hating on a lackluster boxing match, by saying "what's the point if there's minimal contact?"

@@Jaska124 who's hating? I'm just stating the fact that playing tag will get you no where

@@dakentaijutsu2010 At least it allows one to keep their reading comprehension skills. Way to ignore everything my comment said.

This style is more about safety, than anything. Which would you choose, testing your skills safely, or racing to the hospital after every tournament?

@@Jaska124 but the question is what would you gain outta sundome Karate? Not realistic combat I'll tell ya that, which is why I went to Kyokushin in the first place!

@@dakentaijutsu2010 I wouldn't celebrate yet if I were you. Kyokushin does have a rough, respectable nature to it, but it offers realistic combat just as much as point fighting. There are limitations, some of which won't be there in a real fight. When it comes to realistic combat, you'll only get that by fighting on the streets.

@@Jaska124 who's celebrating? I'm just stating the obvious, and I have to disagree with you on parts of what you say, I've done point sparring so I'm no stranger to either one, I'm just saying a person will get nowhere in sundown karate, just saying

@@dakentaijutsu2010 What an ignorant comment. You brought nothing new to the conversation. If you want to argue and promote your thing, I understand.

No, pretty much every technique that falls under the scoring criteria are allowed. If you'd look closely, there are way more techniques here and in part 2 receiving a point: 2:42 the jab for an example. And you can clearly see the players attempting other kinds of strikes such as the spinning back fist, that is used to score in the part 2 video. Why the bout is always stopped during a crucial exchange, could be to simulate how a fight would also pause when someone gets hit real hard. Point fighting is by default fighting for points, so someone scoring a point should also be made clear to everyone, the judges and the contestants. Stopping the fight is a convenient way to clearly tell the fighters how the bout is going, do they score or are they doing something illegal. The scoring technique must be a clear as a day- one, so if the fighting isn't stopped at a clear hit, it'll just become a non-stop mess of dozens of scoring attempts that nobody wants to watch. So it's also done to pace the fighting to be cleaner. Of course there are variations of point fighting like olympic taekwondo, where the scores are awarded without stopping the fight. In Renshinkan, the fights are "Ippon Shobu", meaning that two clear hits or a single decisive one, like a KO result in victory. We want those points to be as pure as possible, and that can't be done without pausing the fight. One criteria for scoring is "Zanshin" - awareness/focus. Your technique has zanshin when you have your eye on the opponent before you punch them in the face, during punching them in the face, and retracting your technique and retreating to a safe distance after punching them in the face. If the fighting isn't stopped at any point, the guy getting hit can just keep rushing forward after getting hit thanks to the protective gear, which once again, isn't the way to go. And if 3:19 - 3:48 techniques don't have enough "power" for you, I don't know what techniques would be enough. Sure, it's full contact, but the main focus in bogu kumite is to safely test your techniques against the opponent without hurting them, not super-realistic fighting. It's not about hurting your opponent, but besting them in terms of speed, wits and technique. The protection worn is there to allow harder contact. If being realistic is important to you, then in my opinion no martial arts competition today can be purely realistic, not even MMA. A realistic fight is a real street fight, and karate is not about that.

+RenshinJake124 OKthanx my brother trained in shorinji ryu . In my opion Sumo wrestling is the most realistic fighting. thanx

En esta direccion, kata Renshinkan

Not even close

WHy are they sparring with open hands?

​@@SamperorIs that a bad thing in your opinion? They do close their hands when they're actually striking or else in a "situation". This applies to other karate styles as well. See, in order to understand karate sparring you must recognize how distance affects everything. Because of the way Japan forced karate to become a striking art, the overexaggerated moves also made the sparring distance artificially long. Because of the long distance, karate sparring can be segmented into two parts: non-situation and a situation. Non-situation is when the distance between fighters is so big that neither can actually threaten the other with serious attacks par from outrageous long range attacks like risky flying kicks. That's when you can afford to keep your hands low and open, because there's no immediate threat. A "situation" on the other hand is when the fighters close the distance enough, that both are threatened, and anything can happen. That's usually when a karateka attacks, feints or tries to goad the opponent into attacking. What happens next is part of the situation. In renshinkan kumite, the psychological part is very significant. You'll see fighters enter the "situation" distance pretending to be nonchalant, with their hands low and open for example. The goal is to trick the opponent to attack and counter with devastating effect. If you want credentials, I placed second in this style's japanese championship in 2019. On the way to the finals, I beat the guy who fought and lost in this video, the second match shown.

@@Jaska124 It is not a bad thing. It is something new for me to see someone spar with open hands. I was just asking.

@@Samperor No problem either way, you gave me a chance to pretend to be a scholar of karate 😌

It's a good way of actually bashing each other full power without broken noses, black eyes, or all the other joys of full contact. So you train to follow through on all your strikes, but don't get murdered while doing so. Great for people who are not career fighters, which is like 99% of us.
