Karate Rules - Kumite Scoring System | WORLD KARATE FEDERATION

[@doganb34]

Please bring back two handed takedowns and hip throws.

[@krishartrum]

Yes, please! The new rules have made this type of Kumite less effective in real life. The two handed throws and hip throws were very effective and realistic. Now it’s a bit neutered.

[@sureshh.manchegowda1369]

Then show a vedio

[@martiallife4136]

It looked better when people could grab with two hands.

[@rainbow2.086]

Just make this martial art the way it was supposed to be, put them in ring and allow full contact with knees and elbows, also takedowns, throws, grappling, locks, groundfighting because karate is a mix of striking and wrestling, and nobody will bitch about it anymore

[@doganb34]

@@rainbow2.086 you're 100% right, but they already have those choices if you want to watch that type of fight, google "karate combat" and then theres also MMA.

[@Enzo-hu9gs]

If Traditional Karatekas like me put actual power in our strikes, it's like a sniper, fast, hard hitting, accurate shots like damn this rules make us look weak but if trained in actual Karate rather than sport Karate, no one would underestimate Traditional Karatekas that's why I want to thank Karate Combat for making full contact Karate.

[@johncena12366]

No one trains for just sport karate though. All these WKF athletes are black belts in traditional styles, they just choose to compete in semi-contact rules. In a real fight I would bet on the sports karate guy over a traditional one who doesn't compete.

[@davidegaruti2582]

sport karate guys are having successful transition in mma

[@Anarchist007]

It's a ridiculous sport...

[@petrolhead001]

Firstly, the video is well made, its content is communicated clear. Good job on that. Secondly though, in my opinion as a Shotokan Karate practitioner/karateka this looks very unappealing as a form of combat competition. It looks so far removed from the source of Karate. Is this really how we want to represent our martial art, it makes karate look so weak, and it may even be producing weak Karateka. Its disappointing to see the martial art that I love so watered down looking. I really hope this changes in the near future.

[@Morusalba-r4u]

I Saw other video. They train combo strike with punch and Kick. Unfotunately that won't happen because after one hit punch, the referee Will stop and give point. Rule in TKD match is better. Rule in karate kumite is a joke

[@orlonarsino6729]

Kyokoshin Karate culture is the closest I have seen karate come to MMA/full contact. TKD and Karate point sparring is the alternative choice for low contact whilst keeping a competitive edge. Ultimately if you are looking for something that is most effective in fighting prowess... Then you sould sign up at your local MMA gym. I still think there are benefits to point sparring culture, like fitness, coordination, athleticism and occupying the competitive psych...

[@petrolhead001]

@@orlonarsino6729 Orlon, I have experience in many forms of martial arts, and I also have experience in MMA, but the one that I love is Karate. Karate has so much more to offer than what we see here in this video. I don't think we are doing our students justice by having them compete like this.

[@orlonarsino6729]

@@petrolhead001 What do you mean? What specific culture/style are you refering to ?

[@petrolhead001]

@@orlonarsino6729 I'm not referring to any one style, but any Karate style that would use this format for competition. Kyokushin tends to use a different system, this will most likely apply to Shotokan if you want to pin it down, as most Shotokan will compete under WKF formats.

[@licklack6370]

when i competed none of the front kicks i landed were scored. after the fight i was told that kicks delivered from the front leg would not count. i have respect for the competetors but that is not karate, it is laughable and unrealistic, no wonder most other martial artist laugh at us

[@vinaykumar488]

[@agirl2564]

u can score points with the front leg only if u punch the opponent to the head, u were probably punching too hard and that is the reason why u did not get points but u probably have noticed that they don't give u all the points u have get

Serious question: is it a must that you have to bounce constantly on your feet? Or could you have the movement of a boxer and have a different guard?

[@brucewhitemusic9733]

Jonathan Delgado no not a must at all but they do it as it helps with speed and power

[@HIM27th]

Ok thank you!

[@Karakta]

With those rules, speed is more important than power. Bouncing allows you to literally jump at the right moment towards your opponent. You can't do that with a rooted stance. However, you should not bounce like they do on the video : you have to bounce "one foot at a time" (hard to describe in a you tube comment but basically, what I mean is that you must always have at least one foot on the ground). If you bounce with both your feet, then there is a moment when you no longer touch the ground. If the opponent sees that and sweeps you, that's game over.

[@kiznaive_1764]

You are opening our body too much with a boxing stance

[@MastersApprentice123]

You probably aren't going to win with a boxing stance/close distance stance

And I am speaking about any kind of Karate, Okinawan, Japanese, Traditional or Full Contact, does not matter.

[@cristianlaca6483]

I might be late, You're new to kyokushin. I don't know if you know this but a kick to the thight would stun your opponent. Don't punch the head with your hands just remember that. Kicking the head is allowed. I know it's a weird rule. Anything else, I think maybe a front or blackflip kick (search it up, It's not the front flip or backflip like you're imagining right now) Basically front and backflip kicks are like keeping the leg extended and a kick to the head once again search it up. I don't do kyokushin but as a shotokan karate guy that's all i know about the martial art you're doing.

Kyoukushin is way better in any way than this... abomination. True that kyokushin does not allow punches to the face, but that should only worry you if you are going against a real striker like a boxer, this olympic "karatekas" lack power, it is not that they are holding back themselves, it is that they dont put power behind the punch at anytime, just speed, light touch, score. (and avoid fouls for "hiting too hard"). As a Kyoukushin fighter you could just let them hit you in the face, you wouldnt even feel it. They cant generate power because they dont train for that, they dont know how to.

Why is a punch to the head only one point like a punch to the body, if a kick to the head is worth more than a kick to the body. In a real situation a fight is more likely to be won by a blow to the head than the body. Isn't the point system based on real fight effectiveness? I guess not. So what is the logic behind the relative number points.

[@pedropepper]

If you had any idea, you'd know that Mawashigeri wasn't even a original karate technique and entered into the syllabus in the mid 20th century. Things change and evolve. Most athletes I talk with acknowlege this is sport Karate, just like people would not do 'fencing' on the street anymore. People who want to dig deeper go to traditional dojo and then change their technique accordingly. Then you also have the choice of Japanese Karatedo, or Okinawan Karatejutsu, or even Kenpo Karate that started with the Americans, or Kyokushin that started after Oyama's Asian tour. There's a lot of karate, and still room for this sport. However, no Karate uses a horse, so might I suggest you get off yours?
