Modern Full Contact Karate

[medic06]

Not impressed at all. This is a step in the wrong direction for Karate.

Explain why you feel this way

[7r14ngL3Ch0k3]

Please explain how this type of training is flawed, if you cant explain then your words mean nothing.

When you progress and begin to understand true Karate, you will see how flawed this training mentality is. Until then, keep training and good luck!

thank you Mr Miyagi

Cool! Daido Juku!

I've sparred under those rules using the SuperSafe helmets. The sparring is a rush because you can use just about any tool including elbows, knees and headbutts. Those helmets have a nasty tendency to fog up bigtime though... and you'd better make sure you train your cadriovascular system hard because it's hard to get fresh air in that thing. It can also cut off your range of vision as well.

Those supersafe helmets have to be ordered directly from japan and they cost about $150 US... and they will scrape up, given time so take good care of them.

In our class, we start off training the traditional way, you know, Kata and Waza, then after about two hours of that we go on to Randori. This is how we know what works and what doesn't. Randori is my favorite time during class, because I am a blue belt and everyone else is purple and up. So that way I get to test my techniques against more experienced practitioners. Very Fun!

[thescottishdude]

nice video, but I'm not soo eager to train so hard as this. I think semi-contact is the best for learning the priciples for self-defense.

[jubaji]

yes semi contact is teh best 4 self defence 4sho ... Andy Murray even says so innit.

Stop typing like that, idiot.

Cheat, if you can.

Cheat, if you can.

What, like low blows or elbows? HA1 I am not going to cheat. Though it would be easier. But no.

Nice.

I was extremely impessed by your find. This is alot like what I believe real Karate was like back in the old days when the Masters of old fought each other bare knuckle without lame sports rules.

The traditional arts splintered so much from their original conglomerations.

Kenpojitsu --> kenpo ---> shotokan?

Daitoryuaikijitsu --> jiu-jitsu ---> judo + aikido

They are becoming more complete again thanks to MMA
