Yahara v Togeda

[mlsanta3]

I admire his kime but he doesn´t have fair play.

The interesting thing with Yahara is that he does not fight to score points, he fights to take down the opponent. That's why he gave a very unorthodox style of fighting, compared to his japanese comrades, who are more point-effective. The Unsu kata is one of the things that influence his kumite-style. Just look at his groundfighting against Mori. The floor kick is straight out of Unsu.

@frehan90 I like his style, but I seriously doubt Unsu or any other kata influenced it. Kata is kata and fighting is fighting.

What's with Yahara's low kicks? The first going to the groin the second going to the knee...

[francostile]

yahara got the last one... according to the referee right arm!

[SleepyBuddha1]

The only interesting art of that fight was the tomonage.

[pimpius250]

YAHARA vater of karate

[Shotokan000]

The fun is thath sensei Yahara would kill the others in a "real" fight. Like you knowe yahara killed many famous martial artists thath the yacuza mafia sent on him..

[atpforever1]

any proof??

[R0CKY44]

He may have had a run in with them, but nobody was killed.

[Hotora86]

Yahara is RAW POWER!

[aiko4321]

Yahara s prob is too much practicing kata Unsu :) lol

[jitteryjoe]

Haha yahara's spirit is excellent but he couldn't outdo imamura or kawawada for single punch scoring ability. Yahara is incredible to watch but makes everything a very long job. it really shows when you watch the team matches and the others finish their matches in 30 seconds and he takes 2 mins and loses/wins by decision. =S

[Betsnipe]

So fun yo watch clips from all japan in the 80's..

[Iechine]

I think we are all aware that Yahara had few real foes in kumite.

[tkstka]

the red was better.
