I heard that Hohan Soken disliked when members did not use what they practiced.

[NicademusTheGreat]

My dad took shorin ryu in okinawa during Vietnam... He was good friends with Phil keoppell I met him when I was younger.. Look him up.. 10th degree master

[hicktownwoman]

I loathed sparring ... miss studying tho.

[nandansho]

Guy on the right was smooth picked his targets, grabbed and returned reverses. he was the winner.

[satyr171]

bardzo chaotyczna walka zaden z was nie mial zadnego pomyslu i zadnej taktyki.

[WolfoX87]

I say that Kyokushin Kumite's are better

[enjoiskaterzerolover]

hello, ive just started my shorin ryu training, do any of you have any tips?

also, lately ive only been working on my balance, cardio, and stance training, is there anything else that i should do?

[WolfoX87]

A lot of stretching for the legs to achieve flexibilty, some co-ordination work, also do a lot of exercise on the mid section of the body.

[DarkestBass]

na guys you need to remember that half this fight is in the mind. i have done whole fight where i waited for the the one hit that counted.

le4 falta al de rojo, mucho se keda...

[PakDaeHan]

you call this karate??????look like they're just dancing around! karate wannabess.

[chingy3227]

then go fight them

[TomdeArgentina]

It's hard to make this understand people from other backgrounds but Kyudokan karatekas are among the best fighters in the world because of the combination of solid training and unique technique.

This is an awful example, never the less, kumite tends to be sloppy and the traditional mark on the technique is well there and tap and run is not what makes you win this type of competition, just the opposite.

o miło widziec film z pucharu swiata:D:D szkoda ze tak pozno go zobaczylem:P ale na zywo jednak lepiej sie oglada:D:D:D

[asian123294]

my sensei is in here, hes 9th dan and pretty old

[65TJPZ90]

from what i could see red won but blue was so much better. His technique was better and he was faster and hit the reds head more times. I think blue should have won.

Mosiek. no ładnie, ładnie:D a z kiedy to?

[lucyperus]

who wins?? I saw this fight. Blue was better.

[SuikendoCrap666]

lucyperus, yes, I like BLUE is a way better fighter.

I gave Blue 5 stars!

[MuskokaLad]

tournament "Tap n run" point fighting doesn't determine who can fight or not. Notice how there aren't really any techniques that are indicative of Shorin Ryu. Foot work, stances, punching(flayling arms), not a good example of traditional fighting. If this fight were to be a heated match, where the blows have intent to harm. I am sure the technique would come out.

[5n000w]

Saddly I agree with you.. It seems they aren't really trained for dojo kumite fighting..

[TomdeArgentina]

I agree the technique is poor specially for a (world?) semi-final. But not with the rest. Point karate is a ver good indication of who can fight or not. Competitors restrain the force of the blows but the ponctuation is there to mark the good hits. For power and focus kyudokan karate uses other practices. Kumite is therefore complementary.

[Koryuhoka]

Kyudokan is among the best of the best. The Higa Family is Legendary.

This video is proof that karate should not be used as a sport.

[WolfoX87]

Martial Arts in GENERAL was meant for self defense or the art of warfare, therefore as a sport it may not be as good because it limits the techniques

[Koryuhoka]

AMEN! It's good to see that there are people who have understanding of TRUE martial arts!
