I have practiced this kind of karate for 7 years. Since I'm seeing many ignorant and rude comments here I think that it would be good to educate people about it. First of all, this kind of karate is not meant to be a spectacle. It is for testing oneself. That is why we don't have people paying to watch it. Second, you can't understand what is happening if you haven't practiced it. These guys are very good at reading your moves and they have a very good sense of distance and timing. One wrong move and they get you. The absence of gloves makes it totally different from other combat sports such as boxing or kickboxing in which gloves function as a shield. A boxing guard without gloves would be useless against those guys. That is why Lyoto Machida hit so many times MMA guys with those kind of karate straight punches, because they were used to a boxing guard, which is strong in the sides but weak in the front when not having boxing gloves on. The absence of gloves and mouth pieces makes this very dangerous and that is why they hesitate so much. Many people have lost their teeth or have got their nose broken in these kind of matches. It is not a game. Many keyboard warriors mocking this in the comment section would panic if they participated in this kind of tournament against high level guys like those of the video. Those straight punches are not jabs. They have the whole weight of the body and they step forward, what results in a very explosive hit. That is why they control it. I have seen one hit KOs in this kind of competitions just because one of then failed to control the distance and actually hit the opponent. Their speed is unbelievable. You see then far away and a milisecond after you get hit. It is pretty scary. Saying that this is a "dance" because they score points and they avoid full contact is like saying that kendo is a "dance" because they use bamboo swords and they have a point system. That is nonsense. Having said that. As a person who have experienced this kind of karate for years I would like to say what to me are its main flaws: 1 - There is no continuity. If you practice this kind of karate you can get very good at timing, sense of distance and precision but you need to combine it with other styles such as kyokushin karate, kickboxing or even jiujitsu or judo to not end being clueless after the first hit. 2 - They don't use many circular hand strikes such as boxing hooks or uppercuts. So this style is strong in the front but weak in the sides. They do have circular hand strikes such as haito-uchi but they are rarely used. 3 - When they attack they usually put all the weight of the body in one strike. In a continuous combat that can be dangerous when you fail or get close to the opponent. 4 - They don't have low kicks. They use sweeps but they are not used to low kicks. In summary, this kind of combat rules is not what people who haven't practiced it usually think. It is not a "dance". It teaches a lot of technique. It is dangerous, it is not a game. But if your objective is to get good at fighting it's not enough. You must also learn other styles which do have continuity, contact at least to the body and legs, and throws, grappling, etc. But if you have the skills of this kind of karate in your toolbelt you will have and edge over people who only know the most popular combat sports of today. That is for sure. It's very tricky. I would suggest to the people mocking this to go to a high level dojo and try it. They will eat their words.

That's why Karate Do lost so many adepts, me included, after many years of practicing it. It became fencing rather than karate... highest authorities are at the origin of the problem. My humble opinion, no intent to offend anyone here. It is a beautiful sport.

a lesson in patience. patience in appreciating or understanding the art and competition rules. No wonder this kind of combat sport/spectator competition NEVER REALLY TOOK OFF

[@MtnBadger]

I'd disagree, the different associations across the US and world been adapting and drawing crowds for decades. My first tournament was the Ed Parker Invitational in Spokane in '80. The Parker Invitational was a very prestigious and well known event in the martial arts world, covered in Black Belt mag and one of the things besides movies, along with other tournaments that made the sport popular and why we have McDojos on every corner of America. Van Damme, Norris, Wallace, Willson and others all got their start towards fame their. The American full contact karate, which became the AKA and others adapted to a form where more people could compete and with it more spectators became involved so, it's really a matter of perspective. Unpopular, it's not.

[@VICTOBERN]

My interest in karate stems from the 1950's. I always remember an authority on Shotokan explaining how properly executed and focused punch or kick could kill. The origin of empty hand came about after swords were banned. It would probably shock people to be an eyewitness to man to man combat in those ancient times. Competition karate is not designed to kill or harm. When karate came to Great Britain l recall an ex Commando explaining how real life " martial art" techniques in the field, were savage and effective and light years away from sport. Nevertheless, these Japanese experts illustrate obvious ability and flexibility of their particular style and one should note that fact in respect of what is " sport " and not actual combat. MMA is another area entirely.

[@hagaibinsealtiel3745]

The kind of Karate used by the competitors shown above is Shotokan style Karate reknown for its fast and vicious techniques. That beeing said, many attacking techniques have been discarded to make it easier for the referees to judge. For instance, you wont see hooks, uppercuts or overhead punches like in boxing bcse they are difficult to evaluate as to wether they were performed with "Killing Power" (which is the prime requiremet for a Karate kick or punch to be awarded a point)

[@MifuneBoBune]

[@williamtetrault1300]

Well now, don’t be too hasty in your “quickly-jumping-to-conclusions”. I started my practice in 1963 in Los Angeles at the downtown dojo of the California Karate Association. Nishiyama Sensei had been teaching there for a short time. When I heard he was teaching there, I talked my dad into driving me there to enroll. He did, and I stuck with practice for the next twelve years until knee trouble forced me out for a while. I tested for and received my shodan at the Fall 1965 grading of the AAKF at that same central dojo; I’m proud to say that in addition to Nishiyama Sensei’s presence as chief examiner, the day was made even better by the presence of Nakayama Sensei, the JKAs chief instructor!

It would greatly favour Shotokan more as this was made by the JKA (which only focusses on Shotokan). Other styles like Goju-Ryu, Wado-Ryu and Uechi-Ryu will have to change a lot of their rules for a different ruleset that favours something else. And Olympics prefers to showcase sports that can also appear fun, safe and approachable. Hence the many restrictions to make WKF so safety concerned.

Why isn't front leg side kick or roundhouse used more often in the matches? It seems more like a fencing match compared to matched from 20yrs ago?

[@싸울희망]

even in the JKA karate association where Shotokan karate is teached more effectively and efficiently, these are still point matches (not light contact, meaning you have to stop and go to your places after either you or your opponent scores effectively a technique on each other, after a certain number of these is reached, one of them win) In point scoring matches, slow but powerful techniques aren't effective, since they leave you vulnerable for a strike, according to the rules, you have to effectively hit from the lower torso to the head a punch or a kick fast and with technique in the other hand, karate is widely differenced by its roots and masters, for example, Kyokushin was created by Mas Oyama, a full contact karate style, you can see all of those techniques you mentioned there being used almost always

Why not spar with another with bare knuckle fist and try to hit the other face or breast with a punch. may be one will get nervous just knowing that you could be hit by abre knuckle fist no matter how well controlled it is.

[@dirkhartog7438]

To understand why there are so few kicks, have a look at the fight Frank Brennan v Imamura. Brennan was acknowledged as having one of the deadliest kicks of his generation. But hands are simply quicker than feet due to a shorter distance to travel in a "sport" where the difference can be 1-2 milliseconds. I agree the elite British karateka of the 1980s were blessed with some of the best kicking talent ever seen and there is footage of elite Japanese fighters being clearly intimidated. However, the Japanese still won more titles than they lost. Kicks are also risky - more of a western mindset, than Japanese. If you miss a high kick in a tournament match or in a real life fight, you can leave yourself exposed as Imamura showed against Brennan.
