2009 US Open Female -68Kg Aka Eimi Kurita Vs Ao Fanny Clavien

[TheSrx1]

if only they did full contact 3 min rounds like boxers instead of this touch crap karate would be respected instead this just so poor

[CoalBlackRain]

the reason the points were not given was that the strikes were not considered to be correctly delivered-- in the National Karate Federation, the strikes must adhere to the correct technique, otherwise they do not count.

Fanny didn't get all the points she earned, aka is not better...

This is why I love youtube and ubiquitous video capture. I'm sure this official had the best of intentions... at least I'm trying to convince myself of that... but why, I wonder, did he seem to have such a blind eye for so many points scored, but unacknowledged, by ao. I hope that this kind of microscope on national level competition will result in more objective officiating.

Eimi is a good fighter,

but funny didn't get the points which she earned,

i think that was a linked fight from the begining...

[LFFNBF]

Eimi Kurita featured in the new movie. "EMPTY HAND the real karate kids".

[anapinky]

was Ao robbed or is it just my imagination???

[soujirou86]

@anapinky thought same thing...

[umitvideo]

Je doute de l'arbitrage...

[slimnotskinnytexan]

Au was robbed. Eimi is great but she got points she didn't earn.
