its not baloney its because you fight the only way you know how so you don`t have as many options if ive just watched someone get kicked with a front kick and he didnt even move out the way he just took a kick to the stomach and hes supposed to be a black belt thats discusting it really is useless stuff no evasion no reflexes organised chaos do kungfu or muaythai or kempo
a good martial art system or style will always teach you to first punch then kick you punch with the fists to distract them then finish them of with your kicks because if you go up to someone and simply try and kick them first in reality they could if they do a good martial arts system grab your leg quite easily and thats it games over for you i wouldnt do it thats for sure especially not kick to the head dangerous on the street
Baloney,your feet are your longest weapons, by kicking you initiate forward momentum which augments the punch. Second kicking to the side is not easily seen as far as peripheral vision. Many times I've kicked people on the temple and they never even saw it. Don't believe me look at Koshiki right here on you tube.
people do karate because they like the nice white suits its shit theres too much preparatory movement between each technique they don`t keep their guards up it doesnt flow its bloody easy too learn its great for kids they do the same old shite and they won`t listen too a word i say coz they are dicks
just watching it again i noticed that half the time the guy wearing the red plastic mitts doesn't have a guard, if he was fighting anyone with good kumite he would be flattened not to mention he would fail any gradings for his next dan.
Any fair Choy Lay Fut Kung Fu student with only 6 months training could kick your butt and your instructor and in the world of Karate you better run if you see a student of Shorinryu Shorinkan walking by.

I love to hear your comments guys, I just wanna say that I was really rusty in this video. I had just came back from like a 8 month layoff from shotokan because of life issues, but my competitive juices lured me to this tournament. ALthough I look rusty, I know I could have done a lot better, but thanks for the comments, appreciate it. If you can do better and live in NY and want to spar, please let me know. I would love to train with anyone. Learning and evolving. Thanks.
lol! its funny hearing people who do karate and TKD think that they know how to fight, really it is funny hearing the stuff thats on these comments. Karate sucks and TKD sucks, end of story.
I do shotokan karate we wear a mouthguard and cotten gloves but a common misconception is that the gloves are there to make the punches softer so they don't hurt your opponent as badly, they are actually just there to protect your hands, it makes sure you control your techniques rather than just swing your fists around like a thug just off of the street. One more point i have seen orange belts (10th kyu) with better kumite than those "black belts".
RagingDragonWarrior, you need to understand physics! Go learn Taekwon-do. You wouldn't want to stall/slip in a tournament or on the street. Also, it is harder to deceive your opponent when you're standing still. In fact, you can't. Keep it all flowing :)
this is a poor video of shotokan competition, two amateurs going at it and thats about it. never saw nor hear about wearing helmets in shotokan kumite competition . these things can only happen in us especially if this was a real turnament
Ive been in karatedo...that's only a competition the main point is to earn points and not to hurt people thats why it is only right to have a helmet and protected gear
Your guard's all over the place!! I know you have head gear but by covering your head you're restricting your apponent's ability...I'm not a Karate expert!! But in real life if you got a blow like that it'd be a KO. I'm more into Taekwon-Do though..
well i dont know about Karate, but in taekwondo paddings are used to re-strict your movement not to protect you. this vid would have been better play'd in normal speed also.
whats the problem of using oaddings? it isn't shame. shame is someone who uses his karate to hurt people. this is a competition, not a "street fight". No one here is trying to "kill". So, if you are right, runners should run naked without tennis shoes, like old greek games.
What association is this? I'm also with the JKAE and we don't use head guards and also we don't bounce otherwise the chief instructor say's 'YOU DEAD!'.
that was shotokon? those snap kicks were horrible, punches were off and not focused, we only wore gloves, used to be one of the best martial artists in the state and when we would spar it was fast, if your watching this , its not the best shotokon, so dont judge becuase of these fighters.
this is stupid!!!i came from the trovador ramos academy of consolidated martial arts(TRACMA)...and when we play on tournaments...we never wear any paddings such as gloves and helmets!!!when we say full contact...we wear no protections!!!wearing paddings is just shamefull!!!i mean you want to learn karate...and u know that somehow you'll get hurt!if you don't want to get hurt,don't do karate!just go home and watch t.v.!!

You make any statement you want and I can show you examples where you are right and examples that you are dead wrong.
Karate consists of literally hundreds of different styles with very different techniques, training approach and degree of realism.
Nothing you say will be true of all karate, at most it will be true of some karate.

u need to perfect your techniques, and dont do the video in such very bad slow motion, because it makes the hits look real weak

THAT WAS SO PATHETIC... But I guess it's because I didn't see any Japanese people back there. No wonder it was so bad. :(
1. Their punches were terrible
2. Their kicks were awful
3. Their form was flamboyant and stupid
4. Jumping and hopping around in a fight never helped anyone perform Karate better. It's only a way to get you SLOPPY and DISTRACTED with yourself.
