- Senior classification in Kudo in Japan is based on called the "Senior Index".
The "Senior Index" is calculated by "Height + Weight - Age".
For example, in the case of me, Watanabe, it is "165cm + 64kg - 61 years = Senior Index 168".
Senior Index means that if both fighters are the same height, the one who is one year older will have an advantage of 1kg in weight. Very unique, isn't it?
This means that age is not an absolute handicap, and fights can be fought across generations.
In addition, a category called "Masters" has now been created in addition to the "Senior" category recently.
"Masters" is a category for each age group, and is divided into classes based just on physique.
an interesting solution for veteran tournaments
Thank you for your comment.
Actually, since the introduction of this "senior index" concept in Japanese Kudo, seniors have exploded in activity.
Dk why but if its Karate why are they throwing lose hooks like in boxing? See that in Kyokushin too. Always looks like too lazy for a Karate straight.
Kudo (or more precisely, Daido-juku, the only official school of Kudo at this time) is based on the techniques of Judo, Kyokushin Karate, and boxing, all of which the founder, Takashi Azuma, personally experienced.
Azuma-sensei also had the following thoughts based on his own experience, including street fighting.
Straight punches with bare hands are ineffective, even against opponents without face protection. You can break your opponent's nose or teeth, but it is difficult to knock him out.
To knock out an opponent, you have to hit him in the jaw with a curved punch, like a hook or uppercut, to give him a concussion."
So it is no surprise that you frequently see boxing-like hook punches in Kudo.
