How can I forget, broke my nose twice, broke a couple of noses as well, it was brutal yet, what I used to do was go in an out fast, and perfected my mai geri, and mawashi; amazing how such basic kicks, once you master them, where invaluable. I still don't remember anyone who did not ended up busted at our tournaments. No pads, no gloves, even the face was fair game. I compare that with many of the patty cake style tournaments and you will see a grin on my face, like...really?
Good video for techniques but not the spirit of shotokan! Physically dominate his opponent keeping his self-control. The goal is not the KO (even if it can happen) but defeat his opponent by winning the respect and the same respect in return. The essence of shotokan's essence is not physical but spiritual: "The greatest victory is the struggle that we have not had to carry." OOSSSS !!
I respect shotokan for allowing straight punches to the face, but that's about it. Obviously, fights end at the knockout, but I'd much rather see the "touch-point" system dropped in favor of trading blows until someone submits or goes out. SO MANY of those fighters stopped fighting completely the moment they realized they tagged the opponent, and real fighting doesn't work that way.
@timodilo You have to remember most people who train in traditional karate are not training to become a full contact fighter, they have to go t work the next day. If you fight until KO you could take away there real money, and take them away from there training. I hate the "game of tag" we play, but I understand why we need it as well.
@PrimeOcho I would agree with you if this wasn't in fact a full contact sport. Now, let me clarify. I believe that tag-point systems are terrible, despite whatever goals you have in mind for training in karate. If you don't want to get hurt, I understand and respect that, I didn't mean to advocate everyone becoming a UFC fighter. Wear pads, helmets, all that; implement no face punch/kick rules. These guys ARE punching in the face with knockouts, so the tag-rule just diminishes any respect.
I am so glad my Sensei's don't follow modern competition rules xD They competed back in the early 80's and the rules back then was ALOT harder than today's. We're not a competing club, but when we do competition in the Dojo, a knockout is rewarded with a tap on the back, a "good job" and 20 pushups on the knuckles for dessert. And I love it!
Most of the videos are old, at the same time a lot of them show fights without gloves. It's obvious how Shotokan has been degraded to a light contact martial art nowadays.
And it's sad because thats the martial art i burn everyday on me :(
@almamon Nothing degraded. Shorokan is not about full contact or even competition in general. It's not even sports. If you think that what you see in the video is a final goal, then you don't get a thing about real Shotokan and you're just a sportsman who trains for the sake of competition, to look cool and get a trophy. What's on the video is just a tournament, and there are tons of them every year. While real Shotokan was made by Gichin Funakoshi for average people to develop spirit and body.
@MajinSaha I know what you're saying, we had a misunderstanding. Funakoshi didnt want this competition were real, it was after his death that tournaments came true. Im just saying that even in the old tournament-battle system, you could see that spirit and power of a traditional karate. I dont agree with this kind of competition neither.... but at least in the past was closer to karate than the current one.
In any case, i know the differene between martial arts and sports, dont worry (:.
@almamon Ok, then sorry for my last message. But to clarify, my opinion is that adding full contact doesn't make you bad-ass in terms of preparation or self-development. In real life combat you will be injured anyway and will be forced to injure your opponent, so why support it during trainings or tournaments? Instead, focus on your mentality and delivering your best technique rather than defeating your opponent whom you won't kill anyway. This is how I am taught and want others to understand.
I'm 16 and I compete in WKF and AAU Karate and it makes me upset when I've barely hit my opponent hard and I get penalized for it. It's their fault that they didn't keep their guards up not mine. This video makes me happy to see great technique and not getting penalized for it. Too bad point fighting nowadays isn't like this. Great video! I'll post a video of me soon
I went to a Karate competition today and I came first for Kata and third for Kumite. But Kumite hasn't changed that much. Well thats what I seen today anyway.
karate needs discipline and serious intent, the dojo i'm at doesn't seem very disciplined, i think sometimes depends on your sensei's, because i'm yelow belt and from now on i always go to the black belt training and is way better.
I have a 4th dan black belt and have trained for 22 years. I won national gold in mens black belt kumite 6 times. I fought the african american guy who constantly cutlines everyone at 2:36

Nothing like good ol' traditional competition! However, my only gripe is since it is a controlled setting (face contact), it is somewhat unfair because some competitors have excellent control while others were being blasted in the face. If you purposely hit someone in the face, then that makes your opponent gun shy, affecting his state of mind. Face masks would've prevented many injuries.
@zoom421 Very true, some fighters do have good control so a face mask would help. But if im correct in Shotokan Karate they dont use much protection and hit to the face to make fights more realistic, its full contact to mainly anywhere you can hit. Thats what seperates Shotokan from some other forms of karate.
THIS IS NOT KARATE! A warning from a JKA life member: I spent a long time training and teaching this activity. Because of many contradictions I saw and heard, I began a study of karate from it’s beginning; what it really is, why it was developed, how it was taught, what it’s general syllabus was. The JKA is a shell, they have eliminated much of original karate and have invalidated it as a martial art. Read comments my site, the truth is obvious through study if you are willing to see it.
It's not like that anymore? WTF, must not watch muay Thai, MMA, K1 or Sanshou. If any thing these formats attract the warriors, and the fighters of today have more tenacity, conditioning, techniques, and fierceness than the point sparrers of the admittedly rough and tumble blood and guts era. None of these guys on this video had the conditioning or skills to fight a multi round, full contact, match with low kicks, head punches and such. Let alone grappling skills. The art has evolved.
@lobocrack Ahora el Karate está mancillada, y de ello ha hecho una buena labor la cultura americana. Menos mal, que los que realmente valen, valen, y el Karate como una buena amistad, se sabe distinguir cuando dura..y dura..y dura...
Yes man I want to you public the Instrumental Ey of the Tiger.But not in this video but if you have another video for another Kumite Shotogun and meaybe you can.
The instrumental song Eye of the Tiger is nice to hear it.
This is kinda what I've been wanting to see...what shotokan karate can do if applied in a fight. Course this is still sport...but this is close to what I'm wanting to see. If anyone can recommend any other awesome shotokan vids I'd like to see them.
@SuperBluepurple no it's not, kyokushin only allows full contact to the chest, almost all traditional shotokan schools still allow that, and some allow head contact for inter-dojo kumite as well. I know I've caught quite a few yakazuki's to the mouth.
@feridi1 Hi ferdi, what do you mean by "public's the Eye of the Tiger instrumental in this video"? Maybe you mean you'd like me to public this same video with the eye of tiger instrumental soundtrack ?
@JDEG100 someone i used to train with scored the perfect ushiro in his 3rd dan grading, folded the bloke in half and lifted him off his feet, instant ippon.
Pretty sure in todays shotokan you're disqualified if you knock your opponent out. BTW this video kicks ass it's too bad awesome martial arts like this are being degraded into sport with little/no contact.
@mmajunkie1000 Taekwondo (WTF) may seem light contact, but it is still full contact and depends on the fighters, because if you knock them out you win, lol. Very good video; what martial arts should be.
my master a shotokan fourth dan tells us story's when they still didn't have gloves.And he mentions
a lot of blood broken teeth bones and stuf like that.But i would like to try it without gloves and protection because it would be more of a challenge.
yeah, this is true in most of situation, but me with my 10 kyu would spare with my friend who has 7 kyu, he will win, becouse he knows more moves, and he has expierince.
@mulan229 The belt in karate and many other combat sports is to show how much skills you have and how much u have learned. In shotokan karate it is: White, yellow, orange, green, blue, purplbe, brown Q3, brown Q2, brown Q1 and then Black. And it is 10 levels in black.
@mulan229 The belt in karate means patience, suffering, perseverance, blood, sweat, discipline, etc. things that only being inside you can understand, things that Hollywood stars like Bruce Lee never understood, Karate is a way of life, period... OSU!
@Guard655 I totally agree. Its about quality, of training, TIME IN, hard work, and in some cases... natural ability. Many people forget that a black belt is just an experienced beginner. At any rate, it seems like everyone today has got one. LOL
"I don't see a color, I see something that keeps your Gi together, and I don't want anybody else to be intimidated by a colored belt, an opponent is an opponent and you fight them as an equal"
@MrKarateka123 I haven't spoken to you in forever good luck when it comes around. I'm going to the world championships in Serbia this year in October cant wait.You will go to the world championships one day and I know you will do amazing.
@MrKarateka123 You are never to young to be a real Karate-kKa. As long as you train with an open mind and strong discipline you are a true Karate-Ka. I am 14.
it dosn't matter on rank or strength it matters on speed and how smart u r when u r fighting. as long as ur smart it dosn't matter if ur going up against someone double ur size
They cannot put karate in the olympics because there are so many types of karate and they cannot choose a completely different type of karate but if they was going to i would say put in shotokan cos i do that and plus i would make it in to the england squad as i am going to be in two years time
Honestly, as a longtime Shotokan-guy I say put Koshiki Karate in the Olympics. Full contact, yet not a bloodsport and the ruleset is diverse enough for the various styles to compete in.
Koshiki isn't really a style, it's a competition ruleset for any style to compete under. It's full-contact, but people wear space helmets so pretty safe. It's continuous fighting, but if you score a very powerful & clean technique they'll give you an ippon and declare the match over. Great ruleset imo.
lol do u even know what ur talking about...look tea kwon do is based on kicks and now tell me how the fuck are u going to pull of a kick in a narrow street or how will u kick someone in the face if lets say u didnt train for long and ur legs are rusty
apparently you sir, don't know what You are talking about. I'm pretty sure I can front kick any motherfucker. maybe not like a 360 (sure its not practical) but I could use a kick thats like a natural reaction
besides, how are you gonna hurt someone with Shotokan if your rusty?
lol a narrow street? are you talking like closet space? shit, if JCVD and Seagal can do it, so can I lmfao
@Xerofx wtih all Respect to TKD, Shotokan cannot be even compared with TKD, Shotokan was basically started as a leathal weapon just to kill while TKD was for sport and not like the other martial arts, however it might be effective against one guy from a distance, but from my point of view, it cant do with number of ppl with full contact real fight as the case with shotokan
yea thats is a real but now in these days they began to wear protections so they dont damage each other . because alot of players they got there noses broken for ex. me lol. and now alot of the rules had been change . you cant hit him in the face hardly
I know, infact i think today's rules are too strict. Once at least you fighted for something, and not only for some stupid points. This is Real Kumite
this is crazy. just crazy, nowadays its all in perfect order, back then it used to be ACTUAL FIGHTING!!

@mulan229 The belt in karate and many other combat sports is to show how much skills you have and how much u have learned. In shotokan karate it is: White, yellow, orange, green, blue, purplbe, brown Q3, brown Q2, brown Q1 and then Black. And it is 10 levels in black.

@mulan229 The belt in karate means patience, suffering, perseverance, blood, sweat, discipline, etc. things that only being inside you can understand, things that Hollywood stars like Bruce Lee never understood, Karate is a way of life, period... OSU!

@radamanthys1 What I think he meant was that you should not take for granted that a higher ranked karate ka will allways be the better fighter.

@Guard655 I totally agree. Its about quality, of training, TIME IN, hard work, and in some cases... natural ability. Many people forget that a black belt is just an experienced beginner. At any rate, it seems like everyone today has got one. LOL

@mulan229 Actually, in most cases, a drawstring keeps your pants up. The belt keeps your jacket from becoming.....disorganized.

@mulan229 That's what my Sensei always say's:
"I don't see a color, I see something that keeps your Gi together, and I don't want anybody else to be intimidated by a colored belt, an opponent is an opponent and you fight them as an equal"

@JRBouncerz2010 Hey, how old are you? I want to know because I'm going to be 13 in a few weeks and I feel I might be too young to be a real karateka.

@MrKarateka123 You are never to young to be a real Karate-kKa. As long as you train with an open mind and strong discipline you are a true Karate-Ka. I am 14.

They cannot put karate in the olympics because there are so many types of karate and they cannot choose a completely different type of karate but if they was going to i would say put in shotokan cos i do that and plus i would make it in to the england squad as i am going to be in two years time
xxfalcon14xx 2 years ago
Honestly, as a longtime Shotokan-guy I say put Koshiki Karate in the Olympics. Full contact, yet not a bloodsport and the ruleset is diverse enough for the various styles to compete in.
maofas 2 years ago
Shotokan is the most practiced over the world
mulan229 2 years ago
Koshiki isn't really a style, it's a competition ruleset for any style to compete under. It's full-contact, but people wear space helmets so pretty safe. It's continuous fighting, but if you score a very powerful & clean technique they'll give you an ippon and declare the match over. Great ruleset imo.
maofas 2 years ago
Oh well, also i share the full-contact philosophy
mulan229 2 years ago
of Karate? Cuz I know for a fact Tae Kwon Do is the most POPULAR martial art (for self defense)
Jumpman231345 2 years ago
lol do u even know what ur talking about...look tea kwon do is based on kicks and now tell me how the fuck are u going to pull of a kick in a narrow street or how will u kick someone in the face if lets say u didnt train for long and ur legs are rusty
arisko5744 2 years ago 2
apparently you sir, don't know what You are talking about. I'm pretty sure I can front kick any motherfucker. maybe not like a 360 (sure its not practical) but I could use a kick thats like a natural reaction
besides, how are you gonna hurt someone with Shotokan if your rusty?
lol a narrow street? are you talking like closet space? shit, if JCVD and Seagal can do it, so can I lmfao
Jumpman231345 2 years ago
I belive shotokan is the most complete and lethal martial art, no matter if its popular or not. Obviously, only if you're good at it.
mulan229 2 years ago
Lol...dont be talking shit about shotokan
Now, lets take Lyoto Machida for example..100% shotokan, what is he now? UFC champ..
Any taekwondo guys doing well against other martial arts styles? NOPE.
Go ahead try to throw yur flashy kicks, not gonna work buddy, why dont u watch Genki Sudo fight that Korean guy in Pride
Xerofx 2 years ago 2
@Xerofx wtih all Respect to TKD, Shotokan cannot be even compared with TKD, Shotokan was basically started as a leathal weapon just to kill while TKD was for sport and not like the other martial arts, however it might be effective against one guy from a distance, but from my point of view, it cant do with number of ppl with full contact real fight as the case with shotokan
