2:35 is not Karate. It's probably the vilest, most disrespectful attack I've ever seen; I'm so glad Nagaki won in the end regardless.

[@sgedfhjv]

He was asking for a time out, for goodness' sake. (2:32)

Sad match, good effort

[@alansalo2346]

Se la sacaron de la bolsa, pero siendo honestos, justa victoria para el japonés, el Giaku que metió a contragolpe del kizami, fue hermofo

[@user-yp2dx5xc9u]

The blue one doesn't understand anything about Budo. Practice again in Japan from the white belt

[@michael.schuler]

Why do the fighters bounce in these competitions?

[@lolimjon]

mobility and it conceals techniques

[@michael.schuler]

@@lolimjon Are there any top fighters who refrain from bouncing, who generally make no movements unless they are attacking, responding to opponent's movements, or adjusting ma? I would be curious to see what such a fighter's technique would look like. Jumping --- or rather sliding --- horizontally, in and out, left and right, makes sense in terms of ma and feints, but I don't understand the function of up and down movements, or how they might translate in a real self-defense situation.

[@lolimjon]

@@michael.schuler that's because they aren't for a real fight situation my bro, that's why you're struggling to understand... karate isn't even effective as a sport of fighting as it is today, you'd have more luck learning judo or bjj or muaythai (although a black belt should beat the shit out of anyone on the street thats untrained, unless their sensei is a potato) the "self defense" aspect is definitely still a thing, but karate is for defending yourself on the street not in pre-arranged 1 on 1 fights in the ring)... this is designed for point sparring which is an olympic sport... westernised karate is not made for 1 on 1 fights it is made for 1 on 1 point sparring and for performing kata's it is no longer as much about self defense as self growth... i do bjj and muaythai to fight but i do karate cause i enjoy it.. nothing can be enjoyed if you spend all your time comparing it to things that it isn't... look up Lyoto Machida he's a MMA fighter who comes from a background of Karate, see how he has adapted his style to become a powerful force in the UFC, using karate and see how his movement and footwork has been evolved and adapted to suit real life situations, then maybe u can see it and it'll make more sense :)

Terrible judging, sloppy technique by the Latin contestant, both sides weak technique. This is just tag point system, I'm very surprised and saddened to see this
