Totally clueless comment. And so foolish. Shobu ippon is not "tag karate", it's one & done. Yes, control is used so that people wont get badly hurt. When you can execute the technique super fast with full control, you can easily do it without control to neutralize the opponent if your life depends on it. Also as in JKA they don't use any kind of protection, that allows use of full karate with throws etc.
@@Philmoscowitz Indeed, JKA Karate and Karate in general in much a Life style, that's isn't for everybody to live like a professional fighter. But Chinzo Machida, Lyoto's Elder brother has done a few MMA fights, nowadays He is the head coach of Weber Almeida, JKA (Bellator Fighter) and other Brazilians Karate fighters who want to become a MMA pro. Including a JKA japanese black belt, Onji Kunimasa. By the way, The Machida Academy LA from Chinzo is also helping grapplers who want to learn Karate and the striking art for MMA. They're doing amazing work.
His oi-komi attacks are so fluid as to blur the line between oi-zuki and gyakuzuki. Whole body flows through whichever weapon has the opening to make contact. Truly dynamic!
