@@lolimjon Are there any top fighters who refrain from bouncing, who generally make no movements unless they are attacking, responding to opponent's movements, or adjusting ma? I would be curious to see what such a fighter's technique would look like. Jumping --- or rather sliding --- horizontally, in and out, left and right, makes sense in terms of ma and feints, but I don't understand the function of up and down movements, or how they might translate in a real self-defense situation.
@@michael.schuler that's because they aren't for a real fight situation my bro, that's why you're struggling to understand... karate isn't even effective as a sport of fighting as it is today, you'd have more luck learning judo or bjj or muaythai (although a black belt should beat the shit out of anyone on the street thats untrained, unless their sensei is a potato) the "self defense" aspect is definitely still a thing, but karate is for defending yourself on the street not in pre-arranged 1 on 1 fights in the ring)... this is designed for point sparring which is an olympic sport... westernised karate is not made for 1 on 1 fights it is made for 1 on 1 point sparring and for performing kata's it is no longer as much about self defense as self growth... i do bjj and muaythai to fight but i do karate cause i enjoy it.. nothing can be enjoyed if you spend all your time comparing it to things that it isn't... look up Lyoto Machida he's a MMA fighter who comes from a background of Karate, see how he has adapted his style to become a powerful force in the UFC, using karate and see how his movement and footwork has been evolved and adapted to suit real life situations, then maybe u can see it and it'll make more sense :)
Terrible judging, sloppy technique by the Latin contestant, both sides weak technique. This is just tag point system, I'm very surprised and saddened to see this
Emilio Oviedo aun recuerdo esa gran pelea que diste fuiste grande amigo. Saludos desde Mexico de Cesar Montes equipo de kata.
2:35 is not Karate. It's probably the vilest, most disrespectful attack I've ever seen; I'm so glad Nagaki won in the end regardless.
He was asking for a time out, for goodness' sake. (2:32)
What a comeback win!!
bravo japan bravo shihan kagawa
Se la sacaron de la bolsa, pero siendo honestos, justa victoria para el japonés, el Giaku que metió a contragolpe del kizami, fue hermofo
Sad match, good effort
香川先生最高
the best kumite in karate
😮
永木伸児最快入距離
What a fight!!!
Why do the fighters bounce in these competitions?
mobility and it conceals techniques

The blue one doesn't understand anything about Budo. Practice again in Japan from the white belt
