The gentleman on the video is a high ranked TMA black belt, but his style is not karate (allthough the technique is found in about every TMA).

As mentioned before, sometimes TMA can work for the average joe who isn't so big or strong-looking.

I think the traditional martial arts could work for an individual who devotes himself to using it in the MARTIAL sense of the art.
Hey...on a similar note...shouldn't boxing, muay thai, wrestling, judo, jiu jitsu, and kyokushin karate all be considered traditional martial arts?
I mean...kyokushin is karate...but it's only been around for a few decades...wrestling and boxing have been around since pre-Ancient Greece...and judo and jiu jitsu are only...like what...maybe a 2 centuries old.

What makes an art "traditional"? I mean...muay thai's been around a whole lot longer than many so-called traditional martial arts...and it's only been modified a little bit...where as some of the Japanese arts have been completely stripped and revamped to make them what they are now at pretty much the same time muay boran became muay thai.
I don't know...just my speculation, from reading "Secrets of the Samurai" and looking at non-Budo arts.

Was that a backfist?

that was pretty cool, although though that crackhead pimp could barely walk to begin with. he really had no chance, even if he was vs a normal guy.

No. It was an outside knife hand strike.

Proof positive that it doesn't have to look pretty to work.
