By this point Kyokushin Knockdown tournaments didn’t allow any kind of grabs in general - makes for an odd situation where two fighters literally lean on each other as they fight in close quarters. Not unlike two thugs fighting chest to chest to prove they’re all hard and everything but not quite the same either.

Snore fest is to you because it is a game of timing, speed and moment... Not everyone can get intelligent and tactical sports like WKF karate. Maybe if you read the rules and the criteria for a point, you'll get it... MAYBE. Ofc it has its downsides - light contact to the head, a lot of sneaking, the game is too dependent on the judges. But full contact to the head will make almost every fight finish early because of the criteria for acquiring a point.

have you not seen the new karate shit? they straight up just hold hands and dance

Fun fact, these types of tournaments still exist today. This is Enshin karate, which derives from the more popular Kyokushin karate, as does Ashihara karate which is similar also. These are knockdown rule karate fights, punches to the body, kicks to the body, legs and head, knees to the head body and legs as well. They do not punch or elbow to the face, and it's hard to find a universally recognized reason for that, but the general consensus i've seen is that people say punching and elbowing to the face would make it too brutal. Personally I'd love if Kyokushin/Enshin/Ashihara karate would go ahead and put gloves on and start doing punches to the head. That said, I have the utmost respect for Kyokushi/Enshin/Ashihara karatekas, they're tough son of a bitches, i've done some fights with these rules and they're very intense and the body shots are potent as hell, I have a heavy background in Isshinryu Karate and loved training with the Kyokushin guys. If you want to see karate fights with more modern type rules, check out Karate Combat on youtube. Also worth checking out the style "Kudo Daido Juku", which from my understanding, is a more modern japanese MMA style heavily consisting of karate kickboxing and judo.

I have been in martial arts since 1973. Honestly, we were not all fighting full contact with no safety gear. I have seen so many martial artists come and go, largely due to injuries. You really cannot take a full force shin kick to the head and not have it affect you for a long time or forever. Even a few broken ribs will put you out of commission for six months to a year and most folks don't return for more abuse and injury. From all the serious damage I have seen even from controlled fights, I don't condone heavy contact fighting with or without safety gear. It just is not worth the long term damage it does.

For example, the 90s in my Russia - the famous time of hunger, poverty, mass drug addiction and lawlessness. The bosses did not pay wages for six months, sneering at the workers that they would not find another job anyway. Instead of money, people dragged self-made furniture from factories to barter things for food with their neighbors. Dozens of narcomaniacs and alcoholics were lying everywhere right in snowdrifts and in front of house entrances, dying in back alleys and attacking passers-by in the streets. The police (then still "the militia") could simply kidnap a man at the behest of local crooks and beat him in the basement. Entire departments were blackmailed or bribed by criminals - or turned into armed gangs of their own. In the general chaos, police officers also went months without being paid. Guns were sometimes not taken away from those dismissed, orders contradicted each other and got lost along the way. And the oligarchs who were able to rise on the back of this horror - they could simply drive into a restaurant in a limousine and shoot the customers for fun. The next day, TV was already praising them as new parliamentarians, and their accusers disappeared. "Nineties" is a swear word here, politicians remind about them in contrast, to show that now we live quite well) And you remember that everyone was rich.... But there are small reasons for nostalgia. Free-thinking, no one controlled daring musicians and comedians... So music was awesome, too) And drunken orgies everywhere. People reveled in sex after the end of decades of mandatory ideology and strict morality. Everyone tried to emulate the famous American nightlife and European hedonism from movies and racy travel stories... Especially universities were a horny mess. But other than that - no, no more 90s, please)

Honestly, in modern times I think it's nonsense, currently there are more effective means when it comes to self-defense, and if the intention is competitions, what's the point of subjecting yourself to a future fucked up old age with neurological and bone diseases such as arthritis and osteoarthritis without ANY financial return from this?? It's stupid to submit yourself to the risk of becoming an outcast in old age, a dead weight for your children and your wife. Nonsense!

It's more interesting than an Olympic karate match. 💪

When you finish playing in the Cage and fight for real with precision and calmness. Top notch. No punching or kicking on the ground just a clean fight. very nice

Great video!! Great music and fight footage.

Вот это КАРАТЕ! А на современное, без слез смотреть невозможно. Поэтому ММА и Муай-тай "задавили" каратэ по зрелищности и популярности.

how would you compare this to muy-thai we have today? I do BJJ and i see some of the takedowns in this video and they look brutal as fuck. BJJ is legendary for its shitty takedowns, its basically just a little better than aikido. "first do this, then do that". If it takes more than 2 or 3 big movements its usually bullshit. There is a reason many just start on the ground, and its because the takedowns suck I hate it when my gym teaches these kind of low percentage stuff. They think they have to teach a new takedown or move every fucking week instead on focusing on single leg, double legs, back take or high rate submissions. That's it. Get good at a set of moves that are high percentage rather than 50 that you suck at.

Wow. How did this become the sport of who yells and touches the opponent more?

That times will never ever come back!! Nothing will be like that again!!

This goes harder than I thought it would. Impressive.

There were quite a lot of injuries in those days, the Olympics probably don't want that. I mean that's why you don't see much karate like this anymore in general.

That 80’s action martial arts music is so bad ass I’m born in the 90’s and I think the 80’s was the coolest era ever I wish I would have been a teenager in the 80’s and a young adult in the 80’s as well

Well, I did Karate for a couple of years then attended a kickboxing class and sparred with a guy who had been doing it a couple of months and had my ass handed to me. I discovered I knew nothing about timing, distance, recoil and quickly learnt karate blocks don't work. Never went back to Karate.

@@photronsardarkling2064 what style of Karate did you practice? Did your school have Kumite with points or full-contact Karate? When you say „karate-blocks don’t work“ which blocking techniques do you mean? If you’re referring to age-uke (jodan-uke) or Soto-uke (chudan-uke), then yes, they don’t work in a real fight, but they’re not really meant to. In a real gibt, nobody throws a single punch and then blocks singularly. The traditional ways of blocking are just there to learn the form. I regular spar with MMA-guys, and my modernised version of Karate somewhat holds up against these guys. But not Kata or Kihon, they are meant for training, not for actual free fighting.

@@a.rheser8181 Shotokan, very traditional and in truth, the sparring gave you a false sense of security but was of little value. Virtually no blocks in karate or any combat sport work because by the time you've seen the move it's already too late. You are far better off from behind good defensive positions where strikes to you land on strategically placed arms legs etc, you see this more in boxing and good kick boxers/Thai fighters but not so much in MMA because they are looking to take you to the canvas. Anyway, this is all academic for me because I'm now in my 60s and don't do combat sports anymore. 😁

"You gotta block that"

It all changed when dojos with 4 month black belts started popping out

Started training in Kyokushin karate back in the 80s and watched my first UK national knockdown championship in '83. It was exciting, tough full-contact competition with the added excitement that there were a lot of fighters from other styles there to test themselves - especially from a Chinese style called Wu Shu Kwan (whom we saw as kind of our arch-rivals back in those days ...). Kyokushin knockdown tournaments are still that tough and exciting and over the years the best fighters have introduced some amazing new techniques and the style of fighting has modernized somewhat. But you don't get that many rival styles entering these days, which is a pity ...

thanks to 'BJJ disguised as MMA' rules of no twisting joint, soccer kicks, curb stomping, and 12-6 elbows. back then there are only silat and karate ruling the street in my country. and today MMA is not popular in my country because we already see their BS. my dad always said 'you fight with your techniques, i fight with my techniques' that's the real MMA that's how you develop thats how you survive. not this 'i fight with my techniques but you can't fight with techniques that render my style incompetent'. we used to challenge BJJ and MMA fighters in a real MMA no rule style, but they always refuse. they just want to stay in their own bubble.

I'm glad that Karate is making a come back in popularity in recent years.

Our society reached it's peak in the 80's, there was a relatively benign pause in the mid 90's, and then it began sliding downhill, eventually reaching terminal velocity in the 2010s and we are plummeting at terrifying speeds today.
