森善十郎は選手時代がもう少しズレていたらもっと有名になってたでしょうね。 ちょうど格闘技が下火でSNSも流行ってなかったころに活躍されていたので。

how do tell who is winning ?

[@krolechka]

I only mentioned that it seems to me the Japanese were sometimes given a win in a tie situations, or given a tie situation in non-complete loss situation - not just from this video but from other tournaments too. I may be mistaken, of course. In either case, I won't "fight" with anyone over this - neither here, nor on tatami. :) That wasn't the goal of my comment. Bless you.

krolechka didn't quite make the cut so (s)he drops the old "the matches were fixed" implication. I didn't see any of the "non-Japanese" exactly rolling over the opposition in the matches they won. When they lost, it appeared to me that they did indeed lose. When you have a gripe about the judging, point it out pal. Insinuations are for "cats," if you know what I mean. Can't wait to see you out there on the tatami destroying the competition with your "non-Kyokushin" talents and skills.

Yeah, looks like being non-Japanese you kinda couldn't win. :) But that's definitely changed in 2011!
