Agreed Mr. Arieson, but this is karate in Japan not the U.S.

Karate is marketed towards children here. However, kyokushin karate is a good full-contact oriented style and well represented in full-contact tournaments like Sabaki and even in K-1 if I'm not mistaken.

You're not mistaken; the winner of last year's K1 Vegas, Glaube Feitosa, is a Brazilian kyokushin fighter ("The Pride of Kyokushin").

Awesome video!

Yeah. The fights allowed hammer fists to the back of the head, head butts, stomping and demonstrated excellent jiujitsu style takedowns!

Nice clip... those guys were throwing some bombs.

Its not like modern martial arts people hate traditional arts, but I think most of us like to see them train in this fashion. This is not TMA training, this is modern training, the functionalizing of technique through sparring or randori, this isn't how the majority Karate is practiced here or over seas, but these guys certainly train primarily in randori (free sparring), they did not obtain those effective skills through 5 hours of kata a day, my guess is that they train almost exactly like UFC fighters, this is not what I think of when I think TMA, this is modern training method ablied to those arts, and guess what, it starts to look a lot less rigid and more techniques (most notably clinch/ground skills) show up. "But why, Daniel?" Well, because when you fight and watch good fighters you see what is effective, and these guys are very impressive, though obviously not through traditional methods of training.

Technique aside.....those helmets look pretty sweet. Anybody have any info on those??

Dan you think that only modern day fighters practiced free sparring? ... ...

whats cool about this video is how none of the contestants were wearing gloves, so they could still deliver multiple handstriking techniques like chops, and ridgehand strikes.

I can read some kanji. I'll take a second look at it later and see if I can find the city.
