[oceanvioletblue]

見えん

[mykelang]

can someone explain to me what kind of karate is this and the other karate that doesn't include hitting your opponents head?

[takahashi279]

@mykelang This Is JKA (Shotokan karate)

[fadugol]

excelent

[danielhf26]

Espectacular realmente

[RokS1983]

Beautyful.

[ranianisaroyani]

OSSH!!!

[zadkielii]

[VallejosNicolas1000]

Muy bueno ese kumite che!

[hollow473]

Hai,Hai Isso e o karate perfeito como deve ser

OSS!

[felicam2001]

Que técnica tan limpia. Espectacular demostración de Karate.

[Pninja885]

Is this a controled fight tournament or something?

[FoodCubes]

Yeah, they make contact, but they try to pull their strike as much as possible.

[ptboyindenver]

@Pninja885 Yes, very controlled, all-Japan championship. Every technique has a natural stopping point. When hitting somebody, that point is a few inches inside his head or torso. In JKA kumite it is 1 inch in front of him and is hit with full power and speed. Don't listen to the moron who says they PULL punches. Technique must be directed thru the center of the target, glancing blows do not count.. Mistakes can have devastating consequences - smashed cheekbones, broken ribs, concussions..

[LyraOrpheo]

la vieja escuela del karate

se hace presente en este magnifico video

solo puedo decir

osss

[saripitoreadvan]

Este combate de "Karate Do" puro 100%, se puede disfrutar solo si sos un amante de las "artes marciales".Esto es Karate 100%.Todo técnica, nada de cosas raras, perfecto, aficionados observar lo real, el "ARTE MARCIAL", no confundir con los deportes de combate. Suerte.

[cxxdg122]

主審は亡き庄司先生でしょうか？段級審査の時の厳しい目と休憩時­にたばこを一服つけている時の優しい目が思い出されます。

[LorranLuizOliveira]

Isto é um exemplo de Kumite!

OSS!!!

[mitsirugi1]

I wish all tournaments were like that, i mean without gear. it hardens that body and helps u develop control.

[redtommy83]

80s was the best years of karate kumite

[dzisai]

Good work.

[wapcake]

LOL at guy in the background saying "lick my balls!" 1:51

[Saku19]

That guy didn't know he'd be on youtube 24 years later lol.

[evilknievil1]

[iskfshotokan1x]

[Stick56StickMan]

Kagawa is lightning fast!

[pyong69]

[karateman1967]

No this is still what we do.

JKA (Japan Karate Association) do the tournament on this movie role.

[cemsogut]

Kagawa best kyaku-zuki respekttttttttttttt

[SithV1]

Now that's some old school kumite, no sparring gloves, no mouthpiece, no head gear.

[11egend]

WOW. I just started Shotokan. Been a bit more than a month. I'll be 19 in a couple of days and when I see these great videos about I realise what I have missed all this time.

[willy1986tralara]

el karate mola, asi como todas las artes marciales

[ArnoldsElite]

I think Ninjitsu and Hapkeido are where its at, more lethal.

[bcguitay]

I have just had a seminar with him yesterday in coimbra (portugal). he is such a great sensei. the training with him really helped me to pass to the brown belt.

thanks sensei kagawa.

PS:.he also autographed my belt

[rtempestini]

Or what???

[IamDaReAlSeaN]

kagawa is in the JKS.... he graded me for my green belt a while back (i'm on 2nd purple now....)

[tanthegun]

Perfect control. Love it very much.

This is Karate.

[rtempestini]

Hopping bunnys! That's nothing like traditional SHotokan Karate. Competition is for those who like shinny troffys. Karate is done on the ground!

[matpres]

hey! watch your mouth!

[seanaus2008]

thats the stupidest thing i have ever heard

[rtempestini]

Well, by "on the ground" I meant there's no need to leave the floor and raise your one-point. Competition is a sport, not Karate.

[thug4sure]

The longer the distance the lower the hands can go because there is no need to keep them high + in karate all the blocks start low!

[DaMartialMan]

This is no offense, I'm just being curious: Is it normal to have your guard so low in Karate (their hands are just above their hips)? Why do you do this? It seems that it makes it a lot easier for your opponent to land a blow to the face... or are strikes to the face forbidden in a karate kumite (as i said I'm not familiar with the rules)?

[aiyer1989]

Normally no. Most often one hand is held at about chin height and the other at plexus height. So lower than Muay Thai but a lot higher than this.

[Wawelman]

It's a little hard to categorize one's karate in a fight...

[Ramonstro0]

budokan or shotokan?

[karate1922]

shotokan

[fischerrrrrr]

Her voice is really cute!!!

[Hotora86]

Perfect kumite. Awesome speed, crisp techniques. Loved it.

[maofas]

These guys really have good control to be doing the full motions at this speed with no pads.

[aznshin100]

fighting... karate as a competition.. and karate as a budo.. balance it out...

[pazzo888]

This is to CTuxford. Plz if you not understand than you cant talk=)This ufc is fighters that have backraounds in Karate kung fu tae kwondo boxning and etc. mma is mix martial arts. and you know Karate was and stil it is a art from the Samurai.

[pazzo888]

it was used when the samurai lose hes Sword to fight against the enemy its not like the competition karate that you have seen but the feeling from this video is the same PlZ go to A Japanese trainer And ask hem to show you the power that is in a REAL" YAKU ZUKI " PUNSH.

[pazzo888]

BEGIN READ FROM THE OLDES COMMENT FROM ME "This is to CTuxford"....Then after you wake up you will probably begin to train karate.

And plz CTuxford a real knee or elbows is not on UFC.

[seanaus2008]

karate has nothing to do with samauri...it was practised by fishermen and every day people in okinawa. by the time it came to japan samauri had been gone for many many years.

[malasangre]

that is right, samurai practiced jujutsu Iwhich unlike Brazilian jujutsu, used to include strikes, kicks, elbows, punches, etc).

[CTuxford]

And people make fun of the tae kwon do fighters. As for comparing it to the UFC, give me a break. This is a point scoring game, not knockout. Even the Kyokushin blows this stuff away. I'm sorry guys, but martial arts has moved on from this type of fighting years ago. This stuff will not save your skin against an average boxer, let alone clinch, knees and elbows. It's fast because you hardly have to hit the opponent. All speed, no power.

[malasangre]

This kind of tournament is just part of the training. Or do you really think that is the kind of fight this karateka would use as self defense? If you believe so, then you know nothing about karate training.

[brayden12345]

please stop right now. your asuming that from just youtube videos and no knowledge what so ever. shotokan punchs are incredibly powerful, just because of its perfect technique. the speed come from relaxing your arm until it actually has to be tence when it makes contact. if you dont believe there is any power, go to a good shotokan karate dojo and find it out for yourself.

[willy1986tralara]

yeah that´s right

[Shotokan000]

Real shotokan karate.

[masserby]

And no gloves! (Except for the guy with the broken hand! lol)

[shotokanperu]

Esa final de kumite es un clásico del karate do en general y debe ser observada por los demás estilos y sistemas como una muestra de un combate convertido en arte.Excelente video y gracias por ponerlo en la red.

[BLZbozo]

Thanks for all the clips. Old school karate before the olympics spoilt all the fun!

[kylefunakoshi]

Yup, WKF (potential olympic organization) diluted the strategy and techniques. This is as pure as it gets!

[chilipepperjoey]

these guys are seriously dangerous, but its frustrating when they pause all the time

[Philmoscowitz]

these guys are so much faster than anything on the UFC. post more of this JKA stuff.

[statementz]

Oh, yeah, for sure. Much better footwork and overall movement, too. That's why in the UFC even the winner usually looks beat up.

[Toxeh]

Would be cool to see Kagawa take on a UFC challenge...

[unag]

I watched this match live... Nice to see it again 21 years later! Thanks for posting it!
