The 9th World Open Karate Tournament 2007-Teixeira VS Murata

[Barbwire367]

is it just me, or is Kenpachi Zaraki one of the announcers?

[Friedagroper]

two great karate masters. looks like a real karate tournament. how refreshing.

[Warpony9000]

The beauty about these type of Tournaments is that the hits and kicks may not look like they are doing much, but then all of the sudden *WHACK!* down goes the opponent. Awesome.

[MWMMAchamp]

what! you call this a karate tournament! What happened to the point systems and the elusive movements!

[MikaelUmaN]

@boaspagesturn bruce lee didn't do kyokushin. Full-contact karate is more like muay thai without clinch and no gloves and no punches to the head. This is the result of having such rules.

[bilalnumber7]

shinku hadouken

[Jashimamatlim]

If Undertaker Learned Karate.

[greatliar123]

OSU



[skullkazor2]

all of this just loox like regular punching and kicking....except for that one black guy (no racism intended) who did the kick in the second round or whatever round

[guhio34]

Karate is nothing like the movies :(

[CaptainHalodude]

@guhio34 naww you don't say! Karate is meant to be for sport/self-defence, not to wow audiences on the big screen.

[guhio34]

@CaptainHalodude well its boring

[CaptainHalodude]

@guhio34 not when you're at the receiving end of it it isn't!

[Darklarik]

I thought it would be more fast paced and actiony like in Karate Kid.

[XLRO8]

@Darklarik ya they seem so tired...

[Darklarik]

@XLRO8 plus its so unrealistic. any UFC fighter would destroy these pansies.

[MikaelUmaN]

@XLRO8 well, this is like a 128 man tournament. They have gone through 4 fights or more before getting to the last 8. Keep in mind that in order to get a black belt in kyokushin you have to be able to take 30 fights in a row, still standing at the end. stamina is not an issue; but they're humans...

[dancerbabychicken]

I like Teixeira. So I probably know a little more about him than those who only watched this video of Teixeira. Though he may not seem as the most technical and talented fighter, he's a great fighter. I'm pretty sure, he worked really*100 hard to get his title as the World Champion. So please don't comment stuff saying that it was his size that allowed him to win.

[dapithapon]

The jap guy got down though he's the one who attacked

[dapithapon]

they don't evade at all

[tokrs420]

Man... I would rather be in a tournament like Dragonball...

[sleestakattack]

@topdawg732 That's absolutely right, lol. You may have been joking but karate was developed as a combat system...for self defense...not for this purpose.

[sleestakattack]

@Sagfu1 They choreograph movies with a bunch of flashy moves but I'll take movie karate over lame ass sport karate any day. One is just as fake as the other.

[MrMoe777]

arent they fighting for real ? They hardly touch each other

[blurpboyz]

i love the intro! and also the match! peace from Taekwondo

[85DJK]

What the fuck, these are the people in the world open? none of em had any control just looked a complete mess like a school playground fight

[linusyootasteisking]

is there any website where karate tournaments are uploaded?? (whole tournaments)

[Roidmonkey666]

i was laughing so hard i wud of hooked this guy a million times instead of standing .1 cm away from him and tickling him

[thanatas]

teixeira is much bigger and stronger not too fair ^^

[dancerbabychicken]

@thanatas That's not true. In a way, you're bringing down Murata. Kiyama is only like 178cm tall and won against Teixeira 4 years ago. And being big is a talent. In basketball, you can't complain that you're shorter than somebody and let that somebody score.

[deadlycatthefirst]

@Sagfu1 movies make everything look cool. besides, you are restricted in tournaments, they would be kicking major ass in a real fight.

[namffuakable]

i guess size doesnt mater :D

[yomilo]

Where are the hadokens!?

[kamasu2008]

Aaaaaaaaannnndddd this is why I will stick with my style hehe

[santiagomorocho]

That is stupid yah .. Put him a gay with the same weight and same high to see if he can win please ...

[VinnieSkatesSentry]

This crap is stupid and ineffective. They have no head hits. Absolutely dumb.

[mrdhk93]

Stupid? ineffective? No head hits? in Kyokushin karate? ahahahahaha your funny

[911nohope]

@VinnieSkatesSentry dude this is karate your head hits are ineffective when yoru arm is down hahaha

[Melicioel7]

Ur right. I dont understand this. What was that in the karate kid then?

[dahlahlinglah]

They look like a bunch of kids fighting

[kiawan]

Teixeria fought in K1

[josh1212121]

LAME

[HusgeSaher86]

this looks boring . better do : tae kwon do

[celticmoon88]

i have a question and i know it might sound stupid for those who have done this or are well informed so please be polite lol ok when they land there hits is it with full force or partial?i was told its about the energy u put in it and even when it seems like light hits its really something that can fuck u up is this true?

[muffinhead333]

@celticmoon88 sometimes it depends on where you hit the opposition and their focus also light hits are useful a lot of people think just hit the opposition as hard as you can but these attacks are slower than light hits and when facing a experienced fighter they can see a punch coming while it is in it's earliest form and will ethier counter or dodge the attack so using light hits can help put your opposition off balance/not as focused creating a opening for a harder hit.

[Cheuvin]

intense last punch

[spankywalnuts]

theyve motivated me these guys suck as much as the UFC

[Kaisertoji]

@vincent8er in real life of course you will punch in the face, but its a competition. And its not a real fight their punching for points.

[saejox]

kyokushin sucks. Face punches rule!

[Malcham7]

The first fight sucked

[1337sarcophagus]

man this is bullcrap

karate is shit

[kr3w1030]

wait im seriously not trying to be a dick because im a former bjj fighter, and i respect other fighting styles but wtf are they doing??

[pablo151900]

wkurza mnie to ze w tych turniejach siły nie używają

[BuddenOne]

lol overeem killed ewerton.

[FINDIANSOLJA]

so many people feel free to speak and judge what they do not know or understand . . .

[PQ220]

I´we trained karate for over a half year now and 1 week ago i got my first belt: yellow. Some people may think i dont now anything but i now the basics, like mawashigeri,maegeri,junzuki,gy­akzuki,ushiro geri,surikomi,sokuto and I now that kick in the head is called maegeri/sokuto/mawashigeri Jodan/Yodan and in the stomach chudan,knees fumikomi.

[Bonecrusher697]

karate sucks!

[PQ220]

NO IT DOESN`T!!!

[PussyBush1]

not match, gulayat and dwarf.

[zentz36]

they need to extend more being that close does not work for me there getting less power

[BrotherBoresIsBest]

are head hits not allowed?

[Robopencil]

Not very much style in a karate tournament. The fighters just wail away on each other like they're punching bags.

At least in Muay Thai and Boxing you can see the skill. Fighters check kicks, punches, knees, and elbows. Attack and counter attack.

Karate teaches complex blocks and techniques, but they're thrown to the wind when the shit hits the fan.

Boxing and Muay Thai teach simple, but brutal techniques. And the fighters are actually able to use them.

[Kaisertoji]

@Robopencil sad enough that they do for the sake of points, but in real life karate is more brutal. boxing and muay thai doesn't teach you to spear hand your opponents eye. back fist the temple, front kick your balls. and you dont get more brutal than that. and it gets lethal, a reverse punch on your solar plexus can kill if an excessive amount of force is used, a round house kick using the ball of the foot instead the instep can be permanently dibiltating.

[discogoblinz]

they need to be able to fight properly none of the body punch crap

[230205]

they look like suchc morons fighting, this style is so ineffective, jujitsu smokes karate

[santaClaws90]

mabe because these guys arnt using karete right DUH! its not the style its the fighter jeez

[230205]

karate is a joke

[wasd90]

for ax3ninja -trust me,kyokushin is beautiful

for masters0alive- OSU is for most people like ''hi''.for me and for most kyokushin fighters is the power to persever by willpower,the true fighting spirit of kyokushin.

p.s. my english is not so good,but i hope you understand what i mean

[ax3ninja]

anything like this go on in england/britain? im Taekwon-do and i wanna do something different

[9362150487]

@ax3ninja FUCK YOU taekwondo fighter most of you no good 

[jdtwk123]

The problem with this kind of 'karate', though, is that it is not an art one can practice one's whole life. That, and it is a style where, all else being equal, the biggest guy is going to win. Instead of the first one to make a mistake losing. You basically train to take abuse. Sure, it toughens you, but you aren't going to be able to take that abuse in your 50's and 60's like you are in your 20's and 30's. And you sure as heck won't have the raw power of men in their prime.

[CarpeDei]

All else being equal ill jump up and kick you in the face...

Internal martial arts are superior for older people

[TheMastersservant]

iv seen 80 year old masters beat the crap out of people

[Tino13]

lol

[wasd90]

i practice kyokushin for some years,and i want to say:kyokushin is hard,but beautiful

OSU!

[masters0alive]

i've hear people yell OSU many times before, even in video games. What does the word mean?

[BrotherBoresIsBest]

@masters0alive just like kiai, it is supposed to be yelled at the end of or during a technique to put max strength, diaphram and some such, more or less.

[Kaisertoji]

@masters0alive combination of 2 words Osae= to press on, persevere Shinobu= be patient. Karatekas say Osu as to encourage one another.

[ax3ninja]

beautiful? gotta be honest here... its not teh most majestic fighting style i've seen, far from it tbh.

[DistantSoul13]

good fight man good fight....

[UchihaItachi8989]

Murata seems like a better fighter, Texteira has no good block, he won cause he was probaly stronger, and Murata couldn't take hard hits. But i got to say Murata is a skillful kyokushin fighter.

[oiram48]

How can Murata be a better fighter if Teixeira is stronger than him and knocked him out.

[kyokushin4lyfe]

just pls shut the fuck up coz u dont know wat ur saying and if Murata is the better fighter i saw him winning the world tournament

[kyokushinkevin]

it is simple, doesn't matter who was the most skillful, strongest, smaller, heaviest or funniest. Who won is best, that is the only way what you can know who is the best.

[terra1181]

@kyokushinkevin Not really, yes I agree that that is the only way to determain who is the better fighter but mabey if there was a rematch you may see different skills, speed and power that could change alot of minds.

[hoshinocrimsonwings]

@kyokushinkevin No. The reason why double round robin exists, it helps reduce the element of luck. If you're just counting one match, luck can always come into play. Your logic is very flawed. If you're lucky enough to be not the best but win in a double round robin tournament, then you deserve the win.

[sleestakattack]

@kyokushinkevin How can you tell who is the best fighter under such constraining rules? In the street Murata may have won. No hand strikes to the face, are you joking?

[BeavisandButthead313]

@UchihaItachi8989 Agreed, he had better kicks

[killertuna]

Teixeira hits Murata the right spot, on his right free ribs, really painful.... Nice upload :) thanks

[lizziepenne]

Few can drop the best with body punches - Osu !

[Gwenog]

Thanks a lot for putting those up, you're great!
