Is this Karate ?? lol =))

@Bassai Seems like the Russian guys had a significant arm range advantage to me. Compare 2:10 to 2:13. Japan got off some good counters as well like in 2:03.

any true martial artist knows its the man who makes the style

[Bassai]

Japanese guys were way too slow! They also had no coherence on how to use the attacking/counter attacking line. Definitely not Japan's best. Russia deserved the win.

@xxfalcon14xx its thinking like that makes us divided. No style is better, Ive practice shotokan 12 years since I was young and all 4 karate style have the pro and cons. Ive seen all of them at their very best, and trust me there all very good karate arts. Its not in the style its the person man, sounds like you have'nt seen alot otherwise you would think differently. Wado Kai produces some of the greatest fighters in the Karate world. Show some respect, especially if you are a karate ka.

[shotojojo1986]

God, when they said Wado kai were fighters its shows...lol. they can take hits!!

[FiasaPower]

SHITokan is pure garbage . At least in this fights we see some takedowns and kime waza .
