My absolute favourite fighter of that era which does to association differences I never got to meet on the Kumite mat. Awesome speed , agility and technical intelligence. Listen to him talk and you see why he was excellent . An articulate and intelligent man . Intellect ads a new dimension to a fighters ability . The quickness of thought and seeing opportunities others won’t . Everyone was focused on Frank Brennan - which is understandable - but Elwyn was closer to today’s athletes in combat fighting . George Best was another genius. I’ve trained alongside Kagawa in 1990 and he was absolute mustard fast . Deceptive as you could ever imagine. Best owned him . That’s how good he was . Amazing golden era of karate . Ruined by politics . For me this is Kumite and not what WKF offers now , which is in my view pathetic with silly rules . I doubt the very best in WKF would have dealt with either Elwyn or George in their prime . Would he have done well in MMA . I don’t know as it’s a different dimension with grappling and boxing moves , but I’m certain he would have been far better then a lot including Machida . 🥋🙏🇬🇧

I have a sincere question; on which rules were mr. Hall competing? As the videos are sort of old, I can't identify if it's jka, wkf, jks etc... considering that those institutions are considerably new, except jka. Thanks in advance.

Kata is "an end in itself". It's the guys who "perfect" it, that make it a better "training method" for the kumite. Karate is a community, even tho "the fight" is "personal".

As a first Dan, yeah, Karate is a joke on average. It's watered down daycare for the majority of the world. Full contact dojos are not the norm. I train at the only one in my entire state as far as I'm aware.

Couldn’t agree more. I stopped in “89, I graded with Enoeda & Tomita, & finished with Mick Dewey. It was really hard but afterwards when you passed you felt like you earned it. Too many fake clubs out now with stupid rules. I watched a grading only last week, they’ve trimmed it down & made it easier. People are kidding themselves now. I did it for 14 years.
