The problem of karate is not karate itself, but how it is taught to athletes. The WKF has almost let traditional styles die because they modified their standards so much to promote unnatural positions and techniques. The masters can't do nothing about it because if they teach the traditional style to the athletes, they will end up being penalized in competitions.

More hard core sparring (like in Kyokushin), thoroughly revise the point scoring system to take it away from the dominating defensive style kumite. Include punching bag training and encourage karatekas to practice on punching bags in their spare time. And ignore all the haters.

I do karate and let me explain something: karate, was made for ultimate self defense after katanas were prohibited in okinawa, the art of empty hands, simulating the hold of a katana. Modernization changed it a lot, but let me tell you something. Your master and dojo is the only thing that defines anything. Some mac dojos are just here for money. And then some masters are here to pass on the light of their own master. Ultimately, each and every one has its own fighting style for karate that is forged by the dojo and the master, nothing else. I do shotokan, and my master makes difference between applicable, and non-applicable, and makes us learn things with a muay thai twist/box, or ancient karate, but also katas and the shotokan aspect

[@zzhFx_69]

The art of empty hands? How strange, because before it was meant: "Chinese hands" because karate descends from southern Chinese Kung fu, from White Crane.Karate lacks explosive power, what karatekas don't understand or it hurts them to accept is: that this Japanese/Okinawan system is very primitive. They don't have much of a fight strategy in their cans. In the seconds: 0:44 why those Japanese sit with shuai Jiao blocks?

[@TheMisterGuy]

@@sigmaandpi2062 "Can you elaborate a bit more, I'm genuinely interested." Shotokan Karate was brought to mainland Japan from Okinawa and made popular by Gichin Funakoshi, who created Shotokan Karate, the most popular style in the world to this day. The Okinawan styles were based on Chinese martial arts, hence "Kara" (Chinese) "te" (hands). Funakoshi founded Shotokan in 1937, when Japan was at war with China, so he changed "Kara" (Chinese) to "kara" (Empty). Many characters in Japanese have multiple pronunciations, and in this case, the one that indicated "China" sounded the same as another that meant "empty". Okinawan Karate would not have been called "empty hands" anyway, because it included weapon fighting.

[@TheMisterGuy]

@@zzhFx_69 "In the seconds: 0:44 why those Japanese sit with shuai Jiao blocks?" Those are Okinawan (not Japanese) training methods, many of which came directly from Chinese martial arts. "Karate lacks explosive power," I have to disagree with this. Karate is known for linear, explosive power. Especially Japanese Karate, but even Okinawan has it.

To be fair in my experience in sports karate I can tell you it's pretty useless, as I transferred into mma I've almost never used it apart from sidekicks and axe kicks that I barely use. BUT I have seen styles like kyokushin Karate which is probably the only peak style of karate imo and its very practical and similar to muay thai. Tbh you can totally make karate work if you spar, train and stay consistent. But I do recommend getting some experience in at least boxing and wrestling which are probably the most practical and effective fighting styles out there but as always "Absorb what is useful, reject what is useless, add what is essentially your own." - bruce lee

[@milton7763]

I’d say there’s no-one in MMA that relies on one style (hence the name). You need at least one striking art and one grappling art to be successful. Level of emphasis on each will depend on the martial artist

Stop idolizing Bruce Lee. His own teacher, master IP man, dismissed him for serious lack of martial attitude: he was PRIMARILY an actor and only SECONDARILY a martial artist...he became FAMOUS for being a skilled athlete and for founding his own martial art (Jeet Kune-do), certainly NOT because of his "wisdom"! Anyone can utter a sentence solemnly and seem wise in the eyes of others. The problem with his sentence is that he really thinks that there's something useless, but whatever exists in this universe has a purpose, otherwise it wouldn't exist: just because we can't yet glimpse it, not even remotely, it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist at all! It's time to learn to understand that not all the things around us work EXACTLY as we expect them to work...in the same way, martial arts and combat sports are not the same thing, so they don't share the same purpose of creation...and that's exactly why REAL KARATE (not the "sporty" one) doesn't work very well in a cage or ring.

[@TheMisterGuy]

@@quickstep2408 "please start training face and head strikes, then i'll thin kyukoshin is alot more badass lol" Kyokushin is bare knuckle. You don't hit the head in bare knuckle, just like old timey boxers didn't, because you will ruin your hands. Not that your opinion matters, but Kyokushin is some of the hardest fighting in the world. The sheer willpower it takes to stand up to that kind of punishment and keep fighting is off the charts. "it is an extremely bad habit to pick up, especially in a self defense situation where you are just going to react the way you train." Yeah so number one, you're going to not injure your hands in a real fight, because in a real fight you don't have gloves to protect your hands. Number two, if you fight like you train then unless the other guy has a weapon, you're going to clench your jaw and pummel him relentlessly until he looks like a strawberry smoothie. Anything he does you're just going to shrug off because, like you said, that's what those guys train to do.

The tragedy is that it seems like all martial arts go through a dark age. I was taught wado ryu many years ago, and it was taught as self defence. Same with wing chun, even tkd. Now karate and tkd seem obsessed with point-scoring, while wing chun got flooded with sub par instructors who don't seem to know how to teach the application of the system. I've even heard people say "wing chun doesn't have sparring" which is heartbreaking to hear, because it certainly used to. Sadly, I'm fully expecting mma to go the same way. Too many meatheads who think it's a martial art system in it's own right, and so only focus on muay thai, boxing and bjj. This will eventually get watered down and watered down by instructors who aren't well-rounded and just want to get rich, until the next system takes over as the go-to "best" martial art. Whenever I move to a new area, I try to find a really obscure system, not because I'm looking to be "the best," but because i think it's important to spend time learning new or different techniques.

[@joh_kun5530]

I think MMA changed things to where the fundamentals of fighting are forged, tested and trained so well that unless MMA as a sport gets banned or becomes a social taboo, its effectiveness isn't going anywhere. And we live in a time where people have started to fully embrace and revere violence, fighting and masculinity - arguably to the detriment of civility to where folk would fully embrace how ape-like we can be in fighting. The martial arts you mentioned went through a dark age precisely because the societies that birthed them views violence and fighting as an absolute taboo, and would subsequently ban all forms of martial combat especially during their centuries long periods of peace (which all of them simultaneously had with the exception of Korea), and the ripples of that echo today. This was punctuated by the rise of firearms, turning melee combat into a mere formality or a last resort as opposed to being the pillar of warfare. The west tried to do the same, forcing the separation of boxing and wrestling, burying savate kickboxing and banning dueling and fencing. But an opposite echo roared to counter that during the rise of kickboxing, sambo (yes, in this context I'll count Russia as a western nation), vale tudo and MMA rising to dominate despite legal discrimination. The 1500s to 1993 were the dark ages, and the birth of MMA was the start of a new beginning.

Learn Karate in the sense of its generic meaning: empty hand. Learn to box or punch like western close fist boxing; then train your extended knuckles to weaponize your close-fist, and also hardened your fingers to withstand impact when it strikes the face or body. hardened your palm and chop so you can parry or block effectively as it actually a strike-parry. learn the karate way of tumbling an opponent to the ground so you can hit him while on the ground . Kick at stomach level or below it-bladder or groin. Hardened your shin in case of shin- to- shin impact.

Just like in another areas in our life, there are good and bad people at work, politics, school, university, relationships, etc. All the martial arts and combat sports can be very strong when trained properly and adding new ways of training and fighting by mixing them with other styles and fighting many other fighters

The art of empty hands? How strange, because before it was meant: "Chinese hands" because karate descends from southern Chinese Kung fu, from White Crane.Karate lacks explosive power, what karatekas don't understand or it hurts them to accept is: that this Japanese/Okinawan system is very primitive. They don't have much of a fight strategy in their cans. In the seconds: 0:44 why those Japanese sit with shuai Jiao blocks?

Dude, aikido sucks no matter your ranking or experience, just as an example of why your absolutist statement is wrong. What you stated is partially true, but some styles are just poorly designed, or have become poorly structured caricatures of what they once were.

when someone says that karate is useless.. just remember them who lyoto machida's!

[@cigarnationwarriors]

It’s never the art in the man. It’s always the Man in the Art. Understand?

[@putz5872]

The problem with proper karate (from my perspective) is that all the effective moves would kill or maim someone.

Karate os usselles and unefective ? Is One of the most dangerous marcial arts

[@huntergrant6520]

Like most systems of martial arts karate is grossly misunderstood. Like most a systems, it's nothing more then a boat you travel along a river. Learning all it's principles maakes you look like a brilliant man. When all your doing is steering and avoid the turbulence of the river. Mma, karate, kung fu it's all the same.

Ancient Karate have Grappling skills too.

My karate teacher told me to NEVER use sport karate in a real fight. The self defense type of karate is ruthless, Hooks and Punches all to the head, front kicks to the crotch, it is brutal.

Doppo Orochi moment

Still gotta give respect to sport karate and ones in the olympics competing for there countries. Martial arts all have different paths. Instead of comparing each path, respect each path. Not everyone is a mma fighter. Some people do arts like aikido for spirituality as well. All martial arts are beautiful. Comparing is a waste of time, when each path deserves respect, and we should all just respect and be open to each other.

Karate old school, Taekwondo old school & Muay Thai old school is so damn dangerous💀💀

[@martial_windu]

They were full contact at that time, but now they've lost their shine in the process of making them safer.

[@-z-9989]

Pretty much every old martial arts

[@quickstep2408]

muay thai is the judo of the aforementioned striking arts. it even has standing grappling and grip fighting tech. muay thai for self defense would be pretty decent
