It's not a tag match. The rules state that while a strike must be controlled (not causing injury) it must also be a solid, palpable strike to score.

If its 'sun dome' then some would say tag match from their perspective.
Their are those who realise that one can confuse kumite as combat.
In combat a finishing blow is also determined by the recipients conditioning - See Karate-do KyohanFunakoshi.
Tournaments aside, Does winning or losing really matter? In the end we all grow old and die. This is not a morbid statement but rather a small observation of an entire human process.
I do enjoy this guys journey. I hope his life/training goes well.

If he hadn't controlled that punch it would have been a knockout instead of a knockdown. People who say "lack of control" here are probably the ones who cry after getting hit, hoping for a hansoku. Can't you take a hit? Are you doing Karate or ballet? Grow some balls.

Its not a MMA fight, its a tag match. So its not really a matter of discussing whether it would have knocked him out. Its the fact that he was hit at all. So please, grow some brains.

I didn't suggest he join the K1. I suggested he try one, in response to a comment since deleted.
To read experiences outside of karate would add to his popularity IMO.
Responding to johnpricekataoka: To join ANY organization whereby one considers feedback from its sub-culture as a universal reality is BS. i.e. What is a real ippon?
Karate, at least IMO is practiced without worrying about theory -- a state that I considered the owner of this channel to be already engaged in. -- All the best.
