Love that they kept knees in. Karate today is so watered down outside of Karate Combat.
taekwondo should have an event like karate combat
Yeah just like music, sports, and entertainment.
@@Kzany42 yes they should!!
Kyokushin karate still uses knees
@@Kzany42 you realize that taekwondo has the same punches as karate but do it becoming an Olympic sports they changed the rules where they mainly or morso use kicks so it wouldn't look like karate ,
R.I.P. Andy Hug. One of the greatest kyokushin fighters ever.
He is the why I started taekwondo and kickboxing
That axe kick
@@user-do3km6uv5e he was just splitting people in half with that
I'm disappointed that we never got to see him step in the octagon
Now that I think about it that he would of crushed it in that newer karate combat thing
The song is "Lasers or Bombs" by Straplocked in case anyone cares.
Is not, but that song is good
No,this is adrenaline rush
@@ferdinandocasadio yeah that's the 80s comp I'm sorry
u right that's the 80s comp I'm sorry
This is easily one of the best videos on karate ever
Never gets old.
F-ck yeah
"R-E-A-L" KARATE!!!
B4
MC.MAN & HIS ACTING FRANCHI$E
FUKED EVERYTHING UP
Desde chile,en el año,83 con 17 años peleaba,full contact,claro las 2 primeras peleas me sacaron la cresta,😂😂😂😂😂😂.
Greco is a beast and Hug a marvel to watch. Kyokushin is a truly realistic and brutal art.
Andy Hug one of the best Karatekas! Rest In Peace ✝️
This is way better than MMA in my opinion. The ART is still there!
MMA is restricted fighting sport- not really a street fight
@@Me-zx7kkrestricted as a sport but deadly on the street.
@@brucele2776how is it deadly if it is only a sport?
@@frank6401 as a sport it is not deadly be cause you must fight with in the rules when you are in cage. The referee will stop the fight before your opponent die when you rear naked choke your opponent. The referee will stop you before you break your opponents joints and bones. The ref will warn you every time to poke the eye, strike the groin, strike the throat, strike the back of the head, neck and spine. But in the street an mma fighter can use all the martial art he learned and use it to depend himself and kill if he want.
@@brucele2776 why do you think only mma is deadly in street fight? Based on you resumption watching too much mma? MMA is new it s just mixed of here and there like salad. In the ring a judoka , a wrestler only with his own style without striking has beaten mma fighter , so it s all relative, too much mixture of style can backfired.
Holy moly... that Andy part! Great editing!
I was about to say the same thing 😂 damn that moment got me… 😮
THIS is true karate
Back when karate still was karate.
More like when men were men...that's what all it comes to.
@@sebastianisakovic6527Risky a CTE for a little of money ???? They doesn’t get paid well like UFC Fighters or Boxers to risky their body in this level.
Oh man, I am getting Street Fighter flashbacks watching this.
Interestingly, Andy Hug (the fighter from 2:38 onwards) also was the martial arts supervisor for Street Fighter 2 the animated movie. His name is in the credits.
Andy hug comming from karate, going to K1 and ending in the all time hall of fame 🎉 may odin give you a place on the tables of Vallhalla ❤
Andy Hug!!!!! The real life anime fighter ❤🥊🥋
When I was a child i Remember this was Wath karate was in my mind. Thank's God, now with the new rise of kyokushinkay and karate Kombat the style has retake the right Place in the fight world! Osū
Love that the music and the editing of the video makes Andy Hug feel like the Final Boss of this video.
As he should.
RIP Blue eyed Samurai.
02:38 Then Andy Hug walks in and washes them all away.
RIP Andy Hug. Master of the Axe kick...
Это не поединки , это бои и люди которые в них участвуют , это Бойцы с большой буквы . Честь и хвала им . ✊
Today someone tells you He has a black belt in karate you think bullshido. Back then you knew he was a legit fighter.
Well it up to the style i know guys holding black belts in kyokushin,ashira and shidokan and they are legit.
Frauds and soccer moms ruined it. They'll do the same for MMA and BJJ.
Luckily, there’s not that many McDojos here in Europe and most Karateka I know can at least do realistic sparring and point based Kumite, but full contact fighting like kyokushin, Seidokaikan etc is something else. Those fighters would destroy me for sure, and I have a third degree brown belt.
Kudo too@@atshabal
@@XXNerdzillaXXtrue
i like how the last segment was dedicated to andy. the first segment shows you how talented these people were the second segment show how easy andy beat these guys.
I used to fight in similar tournaments, karate got so watered down over time and I am seeing the same thing now with Jiujitsu.
I can agree with that. I competed pretty regularly and I remember in the mid 90s karate was something to marvel at. Most youths were on my level (I boxed and did Chinese Boxing) when it came to skill and prowess. I was at a tournament in '02 and just thought to myself: what the hell happened?! Black belt used to mean something. Now, a "dojo" could sell a 4 year program and say "ok you're a black belt." I used to spar with this kid, his instructor stopped caring about giving belts out when they were all on that cusp of black. He would say to them, "if you want one so bad go buy it." He was old school like my shifu, I respected this kid and his sensei. To them it wasn't about a belt or a title, it was about teaching something that could save your life or make you a better person. Thanks to social media, I have reconnected with him. These lessons we were taught, they've stuck with us our whole lives. Please excuse my paragraph hahaha
Already happened with Tae Kwon Do
This is why every kid in the 80s wanted to be a ninja
Andy Hug 😎
The best
Andy Hug FTW! That man was a force to be reckoned with. 👍💪👊
Andy Hug; The Final Boss
Andy, one and only! 🙏💪
my favorite karate video! It bring me when I started full contact more than 20 years ago..
Nice quick strikes with their kicks.
It really showed how accurate they were in moments of opportunity.
Great martial arts
1:42 looks like something out of Blood sport.
Yes 🤣🤣🤣
He was going to put salt in his pants the next round
The Muythia guy chuckle that was my thought to. Think his name was rico nm its Paco
@@Desh681 lol
As usual, you are distinguished in all the topics you present. Your channel is very distinguished and is an important and great reference for martial arts, especially for your important meetings with martial arts experts.
So many knockouts! Great vid thanks 🙏🏼
This is what every child thought Karate was like
It was like this, but not anymore.
I said it once before and I'll say it again you have the Best videos... This was great
great video when it shows how the warriors of the ring are aware of the possibility of injury or even death as a result of the fight
This is way more fun to watch than Bjj or mma at this point. I wonder if these are all Kyokushin fighters.
Kyokushin, Enshin and Ashihara. Brother arts, really.
Andi what a warrior he was
I love how at 3:30 the ref is rubbing the guys head like he’s a little kid who bonked their head on a table. 😂
Thanks for the amazing video
I can see why it was popular in the 90s and way less now
Época que o Karatê era temido e respeitado.
Dude this collection of ol school Mother Kickers ! Is above fresh.
Great job. U really show case Thee Greats
Очередной шедевр!!!
Good to see throws and takedowns.
Andy hug💙
(Alo-Wan So)
Real Life Old School Martial Arts Action At Its Finest Form!
RIP sensei andy hug!!
Красавцы! Приятно смотреть!
R.i.p. Andy Hug.
The best channel for youtube
⭐To me this is the real life World Warrior Tournament ⭐ 🔴Shoryuken✊🏻
Go hadou
Excellent video
Kicks are BRUTAL!😎🥶
karater e pra mim lindo: e uma arte marcial muito eficaz, e e a arte marcial mais elegante do mundo !!
I love these videos makes me wanna fight again thank you
Never stop fighting
Oss!
This feels like real life Bloodsport.
At 0:37 / 0:38 was that teeth coming out of the fighter's mouth ?!?
Andy Hug is great
One thing I’ve noticed with knockdown style fighting..these days fighters seem to stand in the pocket, punching and kicking the crap out of each other until someone falls. 20-30 years ago the fighters seem to have more space between each other, there was more footwork, more tactical fights, not to mention being more spectator friendly to watch. I’m asking myself the question, would Andy Hug or Glaube Feitosa have been able to use their signature kicks so liberally today if they didn’t have the space whilst fighting toe to toe. It’s questionable..
You could its just less efficient to train people to do that.
Was much better talent and more realistic before. Now all real fighters go mma or muay thai didnt have those options before
Wouldn't get away with the ax kicks as much.
You do still see some amazing kickers in the MMA, but the MMA rules allow for submission techniques at close range - these options discourage ranged kicking. If the rules are setup for kickboxing, then yes Hug, Van Damme or Chuck Norris would still do very well.
I caught the last of the Northwestern Karate Association tournaments back in the 90s when I was 15. They shut them down right after that. I got to compete in the 14 to 17 age bracket. We didn't wear pads or anything like they do in modern Olympic events and whatnot. I actually had my age brackets record for most boards broken.
Крутая нарезочка,и трек не хуже!
I love the edits btw.
Жёсткие ребята. Мне нравится, что никто не добивает упавшего противника, как в MMA.
Legends Never Die !!!
Good video ossu.
I've been doing Taekwondo for a while now, but karakte is a whole different animal. It's a fight style that breaks everything.
I did Taekwondo and found it to be an incomplete art, however coupled with boxing or kickboxing(my base) it is really great for foot work, distance and of course kicks
@@leroilapue15 I think you are right.
@@leroilapue15Yeah. Taekwondo kicks, crosstrained with boxing and some muay leg kick notions is a great set of skills.
Taekwondo championships during 70-80's was very much like karate kickboxing, with punches and KOs
At least TKD is full contact unlikes sissy point sparring only @@leroilapue15
I love 90's
3.28 moment maybe is the best picture to illustrate karate/fighting spirit/legend
Да, были люди в наше время...
No padding nothing just men
2:38 Andy hug....
Very good 👊🏻
Na każdym moim treningu leci ten highlight muzyka 10/10 montaż 10/10
Hug was a beast on the tourney circuit
кратеки строй школы были круты!
Merci !😉
Andy hug forever, Ruhe in Frieden Champ 🙏🙏🙏🕯️🕯️🕯️💪💪💪💪
That was sick
man 2:00 perfecty exectuted/timed spinning hooking kick a powerful one to the head going straight through knocking him out still in combat stance. damn. fast too.
I joined karate with the expectations of competing tournament’s like these. I was greatly disappointed.
Now you hold the gi for a nanosecond and get a warning
I regret not watching this vid sooner
Legends.R.I.P.Andy Hug Legend.❤
Wow!!
This is why today we have sportive karate. Who say that this is cool understand nothing and probably don’t know all the damages they get. Nowadays, thanks to WKF karate, we have great fighters able to preserve themselves, being always effective in fights, in the ring and outside .
Just have the fighters put on gear
@@dylanplumley280That's Oyama ideia and they do this in Kudo Karate.
Ryu and ken
The great Street fighters...
❤❤❤❤
Original Karate has a Lot of Grappling too it's sad Modern Karate became a Limited Striker style.
Funny. This was mostly kykushin karate and successor styles.
That's really karate ❤
Your highlights are very cool , I even used your Pat Smith video to create a accurate version in a wrestling game. Have you ever considering moving to grappling and MMA highlights? I think you'd be very good at them
Nesta época as lutas eram FODAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tem ideia porque hj em dia nao volta assim os campeonatos de karate? A arte não perde restringindo tanto assim as regras?
Pat Smith, Andy Hug and founder of Seidokaikan in this video
Rip Andi the axe murderer
Who?
@@themacocko6311 Andy Hug
Energy
Кёкусинкай каратэ сила!!
Yep. I learnened that
السلام. كل الشكر على هده المشاهد الراعة. فن الرجال
No mcDojos just full brutal full contact practical martial arts.
That last fighter was very different and looked so cool
You dont know who Andy hug is,former K1 Champ.
This is Seidokai Karate and Kyokushinkai karate
Meant to be watched at 1/4 the speed. The dudes teeth are flying at 0:35
That was crazy, I wonder if he just lost his mouth piece right before that or if some were so crazy to fight without mouth piece 😮
Andy hug era. Sadly this is all just kyokushin karate as the rest of the styles didn't really allow contact
BRUTAL 😳
Kyoku, Enshin and Ashihara.
not really true. It was dependent on schools; I did karate based on shotokan, but it was full contact all the way, with no katas, just fighting.
@THE MARTIAL ARTS CHANNEL I can already tell ur a liar🗿
@busyrightnow7259 LOL. how is that bullshit, did you live my life
