could a high ranking Sabaki practioner hold his own aginst a MMA fighter?
-
no head hits, not practical
-
@kempobrad maybe its because they didnt use sabaki techniques in the fight

Where is the circular movements,, i am not seeing them as was demonsrate in the Ashihara videos... this is just like Kyokushin... no side stepping, no angular movements, just straight in and out. I am impressed by Ashihara approach to fighting but I am not seeing it here.

Tough fight!
-
karate is soo funny
-
who would dislike this??? it was really good match
-
This is not circular movements they use on their website, it just like kyokushin. Not much change of tactics, just chopping away, not the circular countering they use in training.

@jcactive i see. yet for the most part...karate is karate is karate.
what is so groundbreaking about it? looks like any other kyokushin tourny to me. not trying to be a smartass, i really want to know, because i don't see it.

Wow! Ashihara, using circular movements/footwork, according to their International website. I'm impressed, a different approach to combat, versus the more commonly known linear approach by other Karate lineages. I like Ashihara.
