Sabaki is one of the best tournament style competitions in America. I was honored to compete in the 2015 Sabaki challenge. Loved it, was an amazing experience.
Sabaki challenge didn’t have big production budgets. That’s why. Also methinks you don’t remember the quality of low budget cameras in the 90’s😂. 80’s would have been granier and slightly out of focus.
Oyama Masutatsu explained that it had a lot to do with the philosophy of Kyokushin (where Enshin Karate originates from), where they want to test who truly is the strongest. Basically, if you're allowed to punch to the face, there would be way more KOs. There would be many bloodied faces that require medical check up, and broken noses/sealed, dotted eyes that may result in the fight being called off, even if the fighter could continue. They do allow slams and head kicks, though, so there is still that danger and requirement to block high to avoid powerful a KO attempt.
@@oshadayasas Not at all, I mentioned open hand strikes, but even with closed fists allowed, the absence of elbows would make a huge difference, and you could either ban clinches or else allow for gi throws and either would ensure a huge difference. Lastly even if you had the exact same rules and equipment, Kyokushin would still be a different style than muay Thai The idea that we need silly rules to keep martial arts distinct just makes the encumbered martial art irrelevant, like kyokushin is now
I had the magazine of him he came out with combat taekwondo. He was on the cover of taekwondo magazine. I wish I still had it. May it be wrote some money now
As you can see, khyokushin is not always the best fighting style… sometime is better shotokan, sometimes taekwondo, sometimes goyu ryu, sometimes kyokushin.
without gloves but it's kiokushinkay, sorry but I find ridiculous these rules of body punches, better the real full contact, then I don't like this style too gymnastic, Exalted Smashing All Ice Bull Tablets I prefer wado ryu
From what I have gathered, in the early days of Kyokushin karate training, bare knuckle strikes to the face were allowed, but this resulted in many injuries, and blood, which caused some students to withdraw from training. Also, they wanted the matches to last, be a challenge and not end due to cuts. They did for some time wrap their hands in towels, but Sosai Oyama believed that wearing protective gloves would take away from the realistic nature that his style was building. Therefore, it was decided that hand and elbow strikes to the face, head and neck would no longer be allowed in training and competition that's it.
I am Japanese and my English may be incorrect.You know a lot about the old Kyokushin. I started Kyokushin 48 years ago, and in those days, in the dojo training, attacks to the face were commonplace and there were no restrictions on techniques. Even attacks to the groin (a man's vital point) were OK. That's why only 2-3 people out of 100 people achieved black belt status. In other words, the training was too extreme and many students quit. However, in tournaments, attacks to the face with the hands were banned, followed by throws and grabs. Martial arts are originally based on the premise of killing the opponent in a fight, so matches would not be possible, but if you were to hold a match, you would need rules, and the original form of karate would disappear.

Is there video footage?
@@tesladiesel2420 not in America that i know of.
@@UrbanAlchemystic 2015 Sabaki challenge. Look it up.
fun fact. my dad did the voiceover for all of these videos. he used to bring home these vhs tapes to me when he'd come home from his business trips.
He did a great job, the voice over work is what infuses it with action hero vibes.
I think he did a fantastic job.
My dad's Morgan freeman and my uncles Donald Trump
Really? I think My Dad in fact was the one who did the voice over for all of these videos. Stop lying over the Internet 😂
Well, your dad did a damn nice job
This was right before Patrick Smith fought in UFC 1. In his intro video, he talked about winning the 93 Sabaki Challenge.
Imagine being 6'8", 287lbs, and a black belt in Enshin Karate...
No,he is black belt kyokushin karate
So many of these legendary fighters have passed on. They left a great legacy.
I can not believe this is here!!!!!! I was there and patrick smith was the reason I would spend the next 13 years in Tae know do
Wow very cool 😮
Never heard of tae know do lol jk
Amazing fights -- Patrick Smith is a legend--- Sabaki -UFC - great competitor
Pat Smith was awesome!
Also a registered sex offender
@@ngkngk875yep so i heard 😢
That last match,...lol if it was 2023 kyokushin rules that guy in the black pants would be annihilated
True
Wau, that guy with black jacket. Truly powerfull kicker. Seldom seen, even nowadays. 🥋. Osu.
How is this 1993...this looks and feels like a video produced in 1983?!?!

Época de luta raiz! Hoje em dia é farofa
When tournaments were real and combat active. Today it is more hopping, bouncing and 'reserved;.
Even Karate Combat?
@@KeyserSoze23not pure karate. more like boxing with a few kicks
that a different karate style, tournament, it still is real it just use protection.
Min 15:09???? A Cobra Kai member????!
Ashihara❤karate
44:00 ❤ strength of ninomiya
Good fights 👍🏽
41:55 ❤ ninomiya
2:59 is that Peter Graham?
1:59 Straight out of Tekki Shodan.
That's Tekki Nidan at our school, still very cool bunkai
@@Prefury Doh! You’re right, it is Nidan. Shows me up for trying to be smart. I never learn lol.
I never understood banning hand strikes to the face, at least palm strikes should be allowed
Oyama Masutatsu explained that it had a lot to do with the philosophy of Kyokushin (where Enshin Karate originates from), where they want to test who truly is the strongest. Basically, if you're allowed to punch to the face, there would be way more KOs.

@@dannyVulture I understand, I just think palm strikes would also have the desired effect without making it as silly
@@henryc7548Look how Nate Diaz Talk and you will understand it's because they doesn’t want CTE in the Tournaments.
Then there will not be any differences between kyokushin and muay thai
@@oshadayasas Not at all, I mentioned open hand strikes, but even with closed fists allowed, the absence of elbows would make a huge difference, and you could either ban clinches or else allow for gi throws and either would ensure a huge difference.

The idea that we need silly rules to keep martial arts distinct just makes the encumbered martial art irrelevant, like kyokushin is now
Back then in the 90's when a karate competitor wearing a red sash does it mean it represents the red corner when there's a match stoppage.
Meu pai estava ae
Patrick Smith with his taekwondo defeated the kyokushin karate fighters
I had the magazine of him he came out with combat taekwondo. He was on the cover of taekwondo magazine. I wish I still had it. May it be wrote some money now
Love the fighters, don't agree with all the judges
Обалденный фул контакт.
23:22 RIP Patrick Smith 😞
Wow, he dead. I didn't know R.I.P. to a great karateka
Awesome
🔥🍷🗿
As you can see, khyokushin is not always the best fighting style… sometime is better shotokan, sometimes taekwondo, sometimes goyu ryu, sometimes kyokushin.
03:22 bro was that really a KO lmfao?
It was choreographed as an example for the rules
Hoje em dia é "touch"
Better to watch than kyokushin matches.
Yes
So.. where was Frank Dux?
Ted Roberts is my dad
Kyokushin karate
Recieved second match.
jerla jasmine jergen is glogene wifes
Patrick Smith… great fighter, terrible human being.
Why is that?
@@arturosandoval3860 he was a convicted sex offender. Got busted for assaulting a 14-year-old girl.
Innocent till proven guilty
@@A.HWasRight But he was proven guilty and sentenced to prison lol.
@@willbradley3201 he took a plea everyone does that
the word sabaki is dogs in Russian
Looks more like dancing
You don't what you are talking about
This is what real karate is no gloves because is no longer karate if you put on gloves this why i don't like how they do martial arts in America
her man is boning her sister
zero skills judo
Poor, ridiculous, ugly sport. Movies are so liars.
No face punching? This is BS
It's because they don't have gloves to wipe their asses for them. Bare knuckles fighting is different.
Nice but the music to loud and sucks
