Old School Kumite

As a bullied kid in the early 70's, four years of this changed me from being bullied to taking up for the bullied. The trajectory of my life changed for the better too. You got tough or you left the dojo. No "belt" was given to you based on time in lessons because you earned it with blood, sweat and skill development. I am thankful for my sensei and honor him still with how I live life.

[@southernhorseman2006]

Hardwood floors wet with sweat, no mats, only protective gear was a cup and mouth piece. 200 sit ups, 90 pushups, run a mile on gravel road, not allowed to wipe the sweat burning your eyes while the class was formed up. Kumite ended with blood, bruises, and liver kicks that would drop you like a wet towel. That was Kempo in the 70's.

We did not complete only finishing blows! What now?! The boy received a high-class belt, and an ordinary hooligan smashed his face on the street! The punches of the "karateka" did not reach the goal! Blocks of "karateka" could not ward off simple peasant blows! It's a shame! This is absurd! World has gone mad!

I would like to address the white elephant in the room.The reason why traditional karate kumite Or traditional Tae Kwan Do Has been watered down after the year. 2000 is because of the medical insurance. They stopped covering people who participated in full contact fighting. Yeah, yeah, you may get a few insurance companies that will cover you if you injured buds. Yeah, yeah, but they stopped covering a lot of people medically. As a result. If you look at today's martial arts tournaments it's more tig and tag.. I definitely missed the 90s.This is very nostalgic

[@jonathanmora8208]

se ve como MMA o mas bien el MMA se ve como el antiguo kumite

[@MifuneBoBune]

Back then, you could win a tournament and be the grand champion black belt and win a whole $500. That would hardly pay the $5,000 medical bill to wire your jaw shut, replace your teeth or pay for a week or two in the hospital, but that's what we did. It was all bare fisted for a long time. That's some pretty rough stuff in the video. It appears as if most of that was filmed just at the cusp of full contact karate (after point karate was out of style). Still, the most beautiful thing is a perfect point technique. Saw lots of those in the 1970's. Even then, there were a lot of broken ribs.

modern MMA, the fighters seem less afraid to get hit in the face/head vs these old school tournaments. nonetheless, black belts were earned in the old days vs paying $$$....by modern standards, no one would sign up to achieve a black belt now, too much work/time....

[@kaylemkerr6989]

@ The Landlord Punches to the head/face can be intimating to anyone in a fight including boxers which is why some dedicate extra time to becoming good (elite) at head movement. These old school karate tournaments were mostly fought bare-knuckle as you can see, bare-knuckle (bone against bone) is inherently more painful and the lack of big gloves for defence similarly to mma increases the chances of being knocked out. Just something important to consider when claiming these karateka were more afraid to get punched in the face/head.

[@kedabro1957]

Really? These karate people sucked at defending their faces. The fought as if unafraid ... until they got hit. No guard, no head moment. Now, if you mean they flinch and run after getting hit in the face, more than MMA fighters, that's true. But only because MMA fighters wear high-quality gloves. Those karate fighters were bare-knuckle, or had poor-quality gloves. Instant loose teeth so broken nose or detached cornea.

And for stupid people to come up with nonsense when they weren't there is a joke.
