Lol - Taekwondo guys would get their collective butts handed to them if they fought in this tournament even if they were allowed to wear body armour. Realistic you say? how is that poissible when you guys wear pads when you fight in your bouts?

True the only way kyokushin can spread to grassroots is if people like Teixeira take it to the next level-he may be a better ambassador of the sport and fact is he deserved to win both last year and this year!

@svaran lol... its sport not self defence idiot...

[brohei100]

its sort of way to appeal that you can finish off the opponent and kill but since this is a budo competition, we obviously don't finish off the opponent like they would in mortal kombat. LOL.

It's the Kyokushin IKO sign

FaridYM,

That it's just to show that you could have thrown a killing blow, but you had control (over the situation); or at least that's what it was intended to be when it first started. Not everyone does it, and it's impolite to do it to dojo mates while sparring in class (this may differ from dojo to dojo, but in every dojo I've been in it is a rule that goes without saying). I mentioned that last part just in case you were thinking of doing it to your partners. ;)

im new to kyokushin and always wondered why after a knockdown the guy who wins pulls his fist in his side and the other hand aiming at the oponent who is down. Can someone tell me?

[AshCloves]

I think it has little to do with the intentions of Sosai. For the public would want japan to do well in any sport or competition. This is true in any country. It is especially apparent in karate and judo etc. because they originated from Japan. It is mainly to do with the public's desire for japanese to win international competitions, especially if the sport/activity was popular, founded, or based in Japan.

Well, it's a WORLD competition. Non-Japanese and Japanese teams rooting for their compatriots isn't that unusual. If their doing it for racial reasons than I would agree; it would be detrimental to the sport. Maybe not announcing their nationality and pinning fighters against their own teammates would remove this "us" vs "the world" crap.

[Irlandets]

If you were there you can see that non-Japanese teams always cheering the guy who fight versus Japanese, so I think this is re-action of Japan. And it's hard for everybody not only for Japanese to lose domination which lasts more than 40 years.
