i love how at the end Ogata looks behind him to see how much room he has before demolishing his opponent. amazing! (of course, this was not a balanced match up since his opponent was a university student while Ogata was, and still is, an instructor at the JKA Headquarters).
yeah, i want to see top JKA people enter MMA. they're so much faster and more technical than most of the top UFC fighters. like Machida, though, they'd have to train in BJJ or some kind of grappling--karate by itself won't be enough.
You're wrong in thinking that. Every fight starts standing. If practice Karate enough & keep their skills sharp they'll begin AND end the fight standing. Do u realize in your last post that you're basically saying that Karate will always lose against BJJ in a street fight? That's what your logic is saying. If a JKA fighter decided to go to MMA & spent majority of his time in grappling, he'd be dead. U can't get to their grappling level in mere months, so lots grappling training is detrimental
every fight starts standing, but almost all fights involve closing the gap and grabbing or being grabbed. i never said karate would lose against BJJ. but if your opponent has BOTH a stand up and a "ground game," and you don't, you are at a serious disadvantage. to prepare for MMA, a JKA fighter would be smart to get proficient in BJJ, and then balance it with hardcore karate training--which is what Llyoto Machida, a JKA guy, does.
I would agree with Philmoscowitz. Though I am JKA, though not in par with Ogata Sempai, hehe!, I tend to agree that having ground skills is very usefull. though it would not do against two or more opponent.
Great fight, but there was NO tchudan tsuki at the end. They went out laughin' because of that.

yeah, but that's only two people. i love Machida, but i'd really like to see some of the top guys from Japan compete--like JKA, Shitokai, or Wadokai.
