Yes it is but at least you don't have to worry about being punished for hitting to hard. I've been in plenty of karate tournaments and if you accidentally hit a bit too hard in the face or the head in general they gave you a fault instead of points

Agree Sport Karate is slowly becaming Tae-kwon-do 2.0 competitors exaggerating movements to convice judges they had the point and I say that as an ancient competitor, I honestly got more and more disappointed with every tournement I fought in

This is a great demonstration of Shotokan strenghts: Even though the cardio or stamina of the german was better, he was less precise. The Greek shotokan practiotioner was breathing heavily since the end of round 1, but going back and striking precise shots diffused the pressure. The German could was breathing well, but he took much damage. Precise shots to the head.

I agree but while shotokan was more precise and landed the strikes that mattered the most, the kyokushin fighter had really good ability to take of the damage and continue pressing, if he was from a club that practised face punches aswell the result could have been different

Absolutely brilliant performance by the Shotokan fighter, Stefanos. Controlled the distance the entire fight. Point-style Karate like Shotokan gets a lot of flak for 'not looking like real fighting' but it really trains fighters to develop long maai (striking range), distance control, lightning-quick retreats, and evasion, and it really shows in this fight, in stark contrast to Maximillian's Kyokushin-style, which practices durability over evasion. Sure, Kyokushin's conditioning is top-notch, and Max could probably take 10x more of those hits, but he was outpaced through the whole match because he just couldn't close the distance with his shorter attack range. His constant forward movement just made it way easy for Stefanos to measure distance accurately every time. He just needed to wait. Fighting isn't a contest of durability. If you can't catch it, you can't hit it.

I believe Shotokan can also be trained in a full contact manner; if you ask me.. that Shotokan guy gave a hell-of-a-barrage of a close distanced attack; closing in the gap and throwing punches… in my believe its good to learn full contact as well as point contact sparring as the usual Shotokan does.. it trains you for quick jabs/attack and retreat in response to opponent’s counter attack.. and repeat… both schools of Karate are amazing..

Vantagens do Kyokushin, lutadores desse estilo sempre andam pra frente(sem pulinhos) e aguentam muita porrada... Desvantagem, não protegem a cara, nessa luta isso fica evidente, o cara de branco tomou uns diretaços no rosto pelo vício que tem de não esperar um soco vindo nessa direção.
