  • Thank you for posting. Our son started sparring this year and his instructor was talking about some of the kids going to some of the competitions. At least now I know what they would be like. All I know is my son has a LONG ways to go yet by watching this. Of course he did just turn 6 last week.

  • You're welcome... Thank you for your comment. My son was 11 when this video was shot. He had been training for about three years. Your son will get there. Just keep taking him and he'll do great.

  • @jcbrew67 I just wanted to update you that we actually took my son to a couple competions so far this year. He took 2nd at the D-lux Charity Challenge (his first competition) and then didn't place this month at the Grand Rapids Open Karate Tournament. (Thankfully he's in the 6 & under catagory)

  • That's awesome that he got 2nd - and at his 1st tournament - that had to make him feel great... The D-lux tournaments are great - we enjoy going to them.

  • And yes you are right... this is not real fighting - it's kids intermediate tournament sparring... and it is basically tag. So, please don't think this IS karate - because it's not. These are basically beginner kids going out and doing their best... I applaud them for that - it sure beats sitting on the couch watching TV or videos on YouTube...

see all

  • Hey ya thats me other kid i spared your son 2 years back agian and they pentaty me for hard contact when i didnt

  • HECK YEAH!

    Way to go dude, I've done a bit of competition but not for some time now. When I did the most annoying thing was the ones who would blow you off at the start of a match. Nice job teaching him a lesson!

  • I love Uechi Ryu, no offense to other styles. To each his own, and as long as you know how to utilize what you have learned it makes all the difference. You can get a black belt in a style for knowing the katas and so forth, but get spanked in tournys and actually having to defend yourself. I like when dojo's make sure that the karate ka know how to utilize what they are being taught.

  • yeah retard they are only 8 of 9... fucking idiot
