JKA 1990 Team Kumite Male Final JAPAN vs ENGLAND

[@richardbartlett8038]

A era of fighters of the likes i do not think we will ever see again back in those they really were the real deal.

[@gpavan68]

I was at that tournament as a competitor and the video evokes emotions in me.

[@lucianograssi1150]

Io ho praticato il karate di quei tempi, ed era sport, ma anche Arte Marziale, c erano karateka completi nel. Kata e Kumite, cosa che adesso non esiste più, scindere troppo le 2 cose ha portato a sminuire sempre più l Arte Marziale. Oss

[@amuroGenki]

Point karate... but still ...WAY better than it is in 2024.

[@dougolsen]

At the time of this video (which I actually believe was 1989) Elwyn Hall was a 10-0 undefeated Heavyweight Boxer with *vast* Street fighting experience. His speciality was explosive takedowns followed by strikes. I know because I trained at Marshall Street SKC his home Dojo.

[@frankrice9520]

It was full contact!

[@koden24]

@@dougolsenThis was the Man I literally copied doing His techniques because they were so explosive, but relaxed!

[@stevehunt3847]

Great fighting mainly reverse punch and kizami zuki used in all fights. Fast accurate and real karate

[@maximidius]

Legends, all of them.

[@schoney1]

fight two... center ref should have stopped the dance 15seconds in and asked if they were there to fight or dance.

[@user-td5og5fl4g]

Я тоже так думаю

[@evgrin1961]

Physical training of thecfightersx is something special! Brilliant!

[@dbuck1964]

BS call at 2:20. That was a true Ippon if I ever saw one.

[@TheReverb1]

First big guy (I do not know the name) did not took advantage of his height; also slow and without determination regarding the Black guy

[@carlcanmore2658]

The KUGB certainly showed the Japanese don't have a monopoly with karate.

[@fredatlas4396]

Enoeda Sensei taught them at the red triangle club in Liverpool, he was chief instructor to the KUGB . They obviously had a very good instructor in Enoeda, he was very strick and pushed them hard apparently

[@carlcanmore2658]

And Britain also had Frank Brennan, someone the Japanese had to train specially for in order to try & defeat him, that didn't happen very often

[@vladimirmihaljcic4589]

Best time

[@milankumarpatel5033]

Nice 👍

[@berylrosenberg704]

Oh yes!!! Knocked the ego out of him with that punch!😅

[@kenrickhyman740]

😊😊

[@raff5184]

I am not very familiar with the names, but is the one at 3:55 Brennan?

[@Isaac_Shamir]

Yes, that's him

[@diosdadoapias]

I want Kagawa and Brennan fight. Brennan is not really that good . It so happen he fought a weaker Japanese. had they and Kagawa fought I don not think Brennan will win.

[@tree-service]

Think that more real than more now.

[@geoffbenoy2052]

Andy Sherry coaching?

[@paulozubiolo9020]

@atletafulltime pula pula do passado!

[@user-go9qs8ip2u]

Даже эта версия карате много интереснее и жесче, чем то, что мы видим в 20-х годах 21 века. Если то было танцы, то как назвать нынешнее карате?

[@dfczdfdfdfd6238]

Ты прав, сейчас Шотокан балет

[@Lexthebarbarian]

You'll have to forgive me, but as a Kyokushin fighter and Thai boxer, I can't bear to watch this. Nothing happens. Two men who jump up and down but lack commitment and spirit. This is a safe game Not combat.

[@lorenzochukwuebukaobi8898]

The distancing is from Kendo. Unlike Kyokushinkai that is closed distance with little to no blocks. This is actually full contact.

[@gkauto1959]

I know where you are coming from; I used to box then switched to Karate , but Ive seen what May Thai fighters can do to an opponents leg, and Ive seen their punches and elbows, only the Kyokushin guys are as brutal as you guys are, but lets not forget that to simply win a street fight using Karate is not only possible but if the Karate guy is well trained chances are he's gonna land some real good hits, and drop his opponent. Of course the Thai fighters will do it much faster, but these are trained professionals, not the usual clerk the Karate crowd attracts, all 3 styles can down an opponent, and thats why they are around, but you will have alot less injuries with Karate over either kyokushin or M Thai, and thats why I choose it over the other 2, so I could train in it for years and not need a hospital after practice. Thats not to say any one art is better than the other 2, only that the 2 are much more based on sparring than the Katas we do in Karate. If you train hard at anything, its gonna work when you need it, but you will work your ass right off doing with either MThai or Kyokushin, plus you will gain lots of experience in the ring doing it. But I'll still take Karate, its effective and over time will benefit me, not break me apart.

[@geoffbenoy2052]

Ted Hedlund as central referee

[@diosdadoapias]

That is kagawa when he was still in his prime. I like kagawa and the other British who is boastful to fight.

[@petermartin4691]

It is more faster ass comedy MMA

[@geoffbenoy2052]

Frank Brennan as well

[@user-vj6jd4fq5q]

Они хоть сами себя не боятся?😂😂😂

[@Ostiarii]

This goes to show the only martial arts that work are kickboxing, wrestling and grappling. Everything else is just dancing.

[@ironfistarrival]

Why don’t wear head and body protection ?

[@amuroGenki]

Because it's not supposed to be full contact. Thus body protection is useless (and largely change the game, cumbersome, and you won't fear at all being punched). Head gear doesn't protect you from brain damage, actually it encourage you to take head hits, bad idea.

[@paolofazzini3484]

This is a martial art.....not a sport

[@paulbfields8284]

Both proper answers.. there must be a full commitment to a ippon with MA.. remaining mind, Kime, Zanchin… it’s hard to understand in sport karate..

[@lugo_9969]

Cos you will not have a ton of spongy gear when needing to defend yourself. It creates bad habits.

[@user-rk8uh1st2q]

Если турнир проходит в еропейской стране и судьи как ни странно европейцы выиграть практически невозмо , только ногдаун или явно это факт и характер европеоидов и тут уже нету места чести , справедливости и совести и это факт
