Bring back full contact. Many of the Karatekas are so incompetent when fighting with other styles because of this point sparring system. Point sparring should be done as a secondary for Dojo's but full contact should be in competitions
You're misusing the phrase full contact. Full contact means that you are allowed to use all 8 points of contact to strike your opponent, that being your fists, elbows, knees, and feet.
@@r.l.mcdermid6034 That's not full contact according to the common use of that phrase. For instance, boxing is known as a full contact sport but they only use their fists.
You are right. This is what we used to call "points" fighting. Not to say that many points fighters aren't tough (got to sit in on a Joe Lewis black belt test....tough old man he was)....but it's not the same. My dad was trained from some of the old Vietnam DIs that brought their skills directly back from Okinawa. They didn't pad their feet. If they kicked you you got kicked with tennis shoes. There were many knockouts....alot of 2 on 1 fighting for tests. My dad was ambidextrous and was equally powerful with right or left sides of his body. He knocked out a few guys on the way to his black belt and often sparred full contact with the 4th Dan instructor.
I always wondered why the sparring system is basically just dancing and jumping around like maniacs instead of using the techniques practiced in class, it would give a chance to put to the test whatever is being learned at the dojo.
This is a highly defensive style. The basics and katas revolve around blocks and counters. It's surprising to see how aggressive the sparring matches are.
Shito Ryu has more of the original Okinawan technique and more natural postures. Shotokan is a somewhat dumbed-down style, a lot of techniques have been taken out of it. The fighting distance of shito ryu is greater than that of shotokan, so when the shotokan enters its own fighting distance, it is already too short for shito ryu and attacks immediately, which shotokanos usually do not expect. Shito ryu also uses the hips differently. Shotokan defends first and then attacks because it uses its hips in this way, leaving its stomach and back almost completely exposed. Shito ryu does not turn the hips as much during defense, only about 45 degrees, and at the moment of defense, it turns the hips back to attack, so it can counterattack much faster than shotokanos. Shotokan was created by one person, shito ryu was founded by three people, one of them brought the techniques of the Chinese White Crane kung fu style with him. I went to Shotokan for three years, then Shito Ryu for seventeen years, so I have a basis for comparison. 🙂
What happened to my Ryu - gloves, foot protection and all that jumping is reminiscent TKD, standards have certainly dropped in the last 40 years. Sadly, I watched this vid and the quality of technique is missing - technique, precision and quality of teaching should improve with each succeeding generation, something has gone badly wrong here - I'm so grateful to my sensei/shihan for both literally and figuratively pounding good, sound and basic technique into us, both as children and as adults. I'm quite sad seeing this.
Totally agree. I grew up in my dads dojo. I went away for college and worked for several years. I returned back to the dojo/competition/judging and was shocked. It’s like going to an open tournament with no standards.

1:24 Note to self: do not slide into other guy's punch.
Oh man you ain't kidding.
Its not your fault he ran in to your punch right? Well he cant continue so YOU WIN!!!
Hah you like that method Mr.Paragon?
@@cobrakingkai you're weird. Also a dude got disqualified in the Olympics recently for "kicking too hard" when the other dude leaned into it.
@@weewoo2242
It was an inside joke.
@@cobrakingkai ig I'll never get it then 🤷♂️

Mans playing Tekken irl
3:55 is this the jumping help technique?
can anyone tell me what the difference is between shotokan karate and shito ryu karate
No
Shito ryu implies speed behind relaxed power as shotokan is your more power based style
Shito Ryu has more of the original Okinawan technique and more natural postures. Shotokan is a somewhat dumbed-down style, a lot of techniques have been taken out of it. The fighting distance of shito ryu is greater than that of shotokan, so when the shotokan enters its own fighting distance, it is already too short for shito ryu and attacks immediately, which shotokanos usually do not expect.

Intercepting an attacking opponent to counter them is so beautiful imo
1.04 scores ippon for that kick? I worry about the direction of karate and the crazy influence the Olympics will have on it.
haha'
At 1:00 you'll can see the contact.
Yes the kick was quite ineffective, he just got a point for raising his leg that high...
You can’t score while falling down! The old system was much better
Very nice to Gãm
So nice! Love the game

Is more gear for safety and health. Plus, I don't know the old-school training will attract many people.

Happy to see that sportive karatekas get Amazing results in karate combat and full contact fights in general 💪🏼
Me and my 2 best friends grew up doing Shito Ryu, it really is a 3 man sport. :)
why does this look so much like taekwondo? even the forms
Scripted never seen such a waste kumite
Nice game
So this is what Lidia Sobieska uses?
Machi kartae
ASHIHARA KARATE IS EVERYTIME BETTER
where is the championship?
No
Why is this even a thing?
Cuz some karate cuck did it
Did what
Its a good style
this has been going on for generations
Oh my 02.35 - 02.55 was just painful to watch, (Lets pretend we are fighting)
🤦♂️
@@weewoo2242
Could you elaborate?
dude, these are katas, it's an exhibiton of the moves, not kumite
Karate hat nichts mit der Realität zu tun…#kickboxing #muaythai #mma
Came here for the thumbnail, I thought they fight full-contact. Didn't the third guy.
Where are their helmets and chest protector?
Tá dançando ou lutando ?
I don't think it needs to be said but in a real street fight, Shito Ryu's quality is in the name.
jesse enkamp who's roots were in shito ryu, proves otherwise
