team Italy was also very impressive, judging by the fact that Japan has karate in their school curriculum since they learn to walk, I'm really impressed with team Italy's​ hardwork.

Glad to see Italy perform well. Very good fight sequence at the end, no shame in losing to Japan though.

i'm italian But The japanese team is Very perfect ....

Of course both teams were excellent: balanced, strong, exact and both had really good bunkai. It would have been difficult to judge, except the Japanese team was so exact in its bunkai and control. Those kicks came so close it was amazing. Japan did choose Unsu, which is less-known to many viewers than Gangaku (Chinto), and that may have also given them an edge.

Japan is the soul of karate

I am very grateful for learning and acting in Japan. Both are amazing🌸 Thank you ありがとう From: Japanese girl☺️

Fico muito feliz com a inclusão do karatê nos jogos olímpicos de Tókio 2020. Mais que merecido pelo conjunto da obra...Muito legal além do judô temos também o karatê.

Parabéns aos bons karatecas da Itália.muito bom mesmo que bonito a perfeição e harmonia.

PERFECTION PERFECTION PERFECTION Japan hands down! Snap and Pop as it was always during the 60's and 70's

Brillante demostración, gran nivel en preparación...

Grandi ragazzi. Siete un orgoglio nazionale. Peccato non abbiate vinto ma restate nel mio cuore come i migliori!

they‘ve got so much control over their bodies, it’s amazing

Italian karate is so cool!❤from Japan.

The italians were good but in this case the Japanese impressed me more..I'd vote for the Japanese. And I love Italy but can't denial the Japanese great performance.

Perfeitos...parabéns 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Beautiful job, Thank you.

BRAVO!

Perfeito... Parabéns 👏👏👏👏

Omgsh that was so amazing. so good. such a fun kata too.

Thanks to karate pioneers

People must be quiet.

Os Italianos jogou muito golpe pra cima e só 1 lutou. Já os outros foram perfeitos, sincronia, golpes, todos lutaram, muito lindo.

A marvelous demonstration.

I loved both

Loved it bravo. Audience should not applaud while synchronize movement's are performed, it breaks the connection

Loved both but Japan's Kata was 🔥🔥🔥

Good show

GREAT VIDEO :)

4:11 that kick with cracking sound

Shotokan enough said! We we're on family vacation in Spain my nephew's performing a kata..construction workers rushed over and they all performed together on the beach.. Yes sir

I would have the honor to lose to Japan. Learn for it as well. Well done Italians well done 👍🏻. RESPECT ✊!

Beautiful!

great dance

Huge respect to 🇮🇹 from Japan

5.25 that kick was amazing!!

普通に相手選手もかっこいい！

amazing dance...

日本に比べてイタリアは恐々やってるからどうしても技にキレがない。 それでも、日本と全く文化的歴史的背景が違うのに、ここまで修練したイタリアチームには敬意を表したい。本当に凄い事だ。

Japan win from Italy, but congratulation to Italy for going to final

Beautiful.

Really good !

外国人の技が驚く程にレベルアップしています。嬉しい限りです‼日本選手団も今までのようには安心出来なくなるほどのレベルアップです。本当に驚きです‼

You can see the difference during the first part. The Japanese team has been perfect meanwhile Italians made some mistakes but.. During the second part none of the two parts has done better than the other. My idea is that the Italian coach had the feeling that Japan team was preparing 'fire works' for the final and so chose a very different kata and combat. I personally liked much more the combat part executed by the Italians. It was so realistic. My opinion.

Maravilhosos carateka.

Very good

Italy did well but weren't in sync as well as japan was.

As a Karate outsider I would vote for the Italian team. The pattern has impressed me enough & just felt they were sharper & cleaner in the fight sequences.

Extrordinario

Well done to both! It was a difficult decision

WOW that is amsome

Italy

Woww!!Very Very Good italian performance! :)) :))

oh I saw it 5 years ago and now I feel emotional !

1:16 Oh, oh, do a Hadoken!

👌👌👌👍👍👍👊 Peace for all

Bravi

Awesome i like it 👍

I can literally hear the sound produced by air disturbance with every move they made.

Japan 🇯🇵 is the "CHAMPION🏅🏅🏅🏆🥋👍🏻

Perfeito !

Lindo demais 😍😍

i saw 3-4 times Italy made mistakes. they messed up timing and harmony. but the fighting seq. were awesome...they lost the Kata imo, but the fighting seq is equal.

Japan Is the best

Muy bueno los dos.. Red... Blau... Oss

The kata from Italy was awesome

I want to go back to japan and practice and study true japanese karate

Very good performance of the italy team, i missed seeing such performances these days, such a hard Kata to be performed in a team if the synchronization was a little bit better, italians would have won, ps: Japan team was so perfect!

4 out of 5 Mark's I'll give....superb rhythm team coordination..however speed still needed.

I loved Gankaku because of this video

they do a good kata,but japan did a very good bunkai and they win

5:04 Was that contact to the face?

Nice dance

very good God bless!!!!

When you are doing karate but Mussolini come around 2:52

Secondo me i giapponesi hanno fatto solo il Bunkai migliore. Per il resto le squadre si equivalevano. Giusta vittoria dei Giapponesi quindi.

Muito bom demais

I love the sound of the gi

Shotokan, Shotokan... :)

2:07 is me getting ready to fight the mosquitos on the back porch

イタリアチーム、すごい上手だね

Super

5:36 that voice crack tho 😂
