The Cobra Kai All-Valley Karate Tournament is far more entertaining

We all someday grow up and learn that karate kid is a movie. And this is actually karate and it is..... s l o w

Cobra Kai really got me watching real tournaments😂😂

Just so y’all know in this comment section. Karate isn’t just this, this is competitive, they are fighting really tactical. There are katas which is just synchronized fighting for show. And there is of course, actual fighting karate

Yes, I see the keyboard warriors are making fun of others with no understanding about what they're watching. I have total respect for anyone who has dedicated time and energy to reach the pinnacle of their sport.

why he didnt do a backflip hawk always doing them and he always win

STRIKE FIRST! STRIKE HARD! NO MERCY!

There's a lot more floating like a butterfly than stinging like a bee.

1:26 they look like crabs performing a synchronize dance

The footwork was amazing. The way they keep distance and have super human reflexes.

My cats fight like this, but they make a lot more noise.

The points are awarded for scariest scream

Everyone here saying this ain't entertaining and all but for someone in karate it is actually entertaining.

Its all memes till you have to fight one of these guys and he actually kicks you instead of feinting a lot. Lmao typical spectators.

When does the fight start?

For the people who doesn't understand and are making fun about the "hopping". If you stay still, you loose speed. Breaking the inertia allows you to have a faster response. Kumite fighting is about who can strike first, with most perfection and control. It is actually harder then throw many indefinite punches and kicks as hard as you can until the other guy gets knocked out. The athletes you see in a world karate championship are unbelievably fast, both to avoid getting hit and to move. So the fight is about who is faster, more techinical and smarter. "If its so effective, why we don't see UFC fighters hopping like bunnies?" you spend more energy hopping than standing still. In a 3 minute fight like this, it's possible to always be in movement, and by moviment I mean literaly moving every part of your body. For a UFC fight, that can last long, and you HAVE to strike as hard as you can, you can't waste energy breaking the inertia all the time. So, don't come here and say things you don't know, specially if it is offensive.(Sorry for my english, i'm not a native speaker). Thanks (:

Douglas é um grande carateca, ele e o Lyoto Machida são uma grande inspiração para mim

It’s crazy the agility these two artist have

They both scream so the judges can't tell who hit who lol

La cara de orgullo al momento de saber que es campeón mundial y su alegría es algo que sin duda debe ser increíblemente emocionante vivir

In defence of karate, the more evenly matched you are in a karate fight, the less exiting it is lol

its about the cleanest hit with the best technique, this was actually a good match

It's a sport because you're testing your speed and accuracy rather than beating the shit out of each other like other fighting sports. Karate is a one hit kill sport.

Wow! Thanks for this video. I always watch this if I couldn't sleep (yawns). Good night everyone!

I absolutely love how in the end they just hug it out like true fucking champions. That's what fighting is about! They both were incredible.

Brasil muito bem representado, parabéns Douglas

I thought they were gonna fight...

To all haters: This is REAL KARATE, IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT THEN KEEP IT TO YOURSELF!!!!!

We needed Sensei Kreese here, he would have made things interesting lmao 🤣

It’s pretty amazing to see how many people that don’t know anything about karate is commenting things like “this is trash” “MMA is better” “Boxing is better”, karate is not just trying to kill the other one, karate is discipline and respect, sadly, competition has become a show but still really good and still really really difficult to get to where this Two guys are, for those who ask why do they shout its call “kime” and its the liberation of the energy, or the strength, after making a hit, some people make it louder some people not. So before commenting stupid things without knowing, don’t try to make urselves “intelligent” cause ur not and don’t watch this videos if u prefer other sports.

People who critics sport karate don't realize how fast and technical this guys are, they have great footwork and their timing and reflexes are just lighting. With some crossover training this guys have a lot of advantage against a regular fighter in a MMA contest.

Qual a parte do "fica aí" que ele não entendeu? Perdeu por não escutar o técnico.

Duas feras do karate 👏

I'm actually very impressed because they threw so many strikes and apparently only 6 strikes hit.

Ojalá empezaran a poner repeticiones de los mejores momentos del combate

❤️VAI DOUGLAS!!!!! LUTE!!!!!❤️ ❤️ESTOU TORCENDO PRA VOCÊ!!!!!❤️

Does no one appreciate their speed and energy?

For the folks disparaging point-fighting Karate: check out Kyoji Horiguchi, Gunnar Nelson, Stephan Thompson, and of course Lyoto Machida. All of them had experience in point-fighting, and all have carried their Karate to MMA quite successfully. Also, if you want a demonstration of the power of a good Karate style punch, take a look at Chuck Liddell, who's a Koei Kan Karate black belt, and Lyoto Machida's KO's against Rashad and Bader. Bigfoot Silva was also a Shotokan Karate black belt. Even Kyoji Horiguchi's been starching folks, and he's extremely traditional and has that "point fighting bounce." Every martial art has its place, its pros, and its cons, and the explosive speed and evasiveness of point-fighting translates well to full-contact and MMA. It looks a little strange to the untrained eye, and some of the attacks might seem "unrealistic," but there's nothing fake about the speed, agility, and reflexes of these guys. Take them on and see if you can touch them before you hate.

I’ve just started going to sports karate lessons and it doesn’t look like this when I go its a lot more faster and more action

The original "The Karate Kid" got me into karate ( mainly Yoshukai because that was all that was around). I started in the 1980's-1990's. Man, I took and gave the worst beatings during sparring. It was no joke back then. I had broken bones and black eyes. We actually knocked people out in sparring. Now it's watered down.

Why doesn’t one of them do a karate chop. James Bond was always doing them, he always won

To all those who don't get this, its precision. I started with this, and trained in mma. It helps. Objective is getting points from targeted areas.

For people here from cobra Kai, reality is often disappointing

Great video, thanks for sharing

This is real sports karate. Control, discipline, and respect . oss

1:56 when I stump my toe.

one of the best rounds of all times.

People say that they are dissapointed and cobra kai is cooler, but people from this video are way more skilled that cobra kai characters which are on begginers level. (I don't count that tricks like two leg kick standing on one hand etc)

If all human conflict was this gay ... we would have world peace.

this is the most amazing footwork i've seen in a martial art that isn't just a individual talent, like in boxing or muay thai, sometimes some athletes have amazing footwork, but in this point karate thing is seems that this is one of their focus and everyone is required to move this good.

I was thinking about taking up karate. Watching this has changed my mind.

Спасибо,от души посмеялся

Man the way they stand and sometimes what they do actually kinda shows what Capcom has inspiration for with the Shotos, mostly Ken

I see some negative feedback or in a better word some criticisms here.You should distinguish between a karate competition and a normal self defense or martial art class. For your information, Karate competitions is not an exhibition of martial art that you can show all of your Technics, because the time is so short and everything happens altogether in an extremely short time period hence the competitors should use only a single Technic which is their best and most predominant Technic. There is no room for a small mistake. Defiantly they know plenty of ethnics.

BRASIL🇧🇷🇧🇷❤❤

This is amazing 👍😍😍😍💞

This match is by far way better than what I have seen in some time, other videos show barely any strikes or contact but more hoping around the mat.

1:11 The sound I make when Captain America was finally worthy

This looks waaaaay better in the movies. No way in hell I'd buy a ticket to this.

Did karate in my teens looking now Pushing 60 I appreciate how fit these blokes are in the prime of life health we take for granted having covid 4 times my advice cherish protect your health it is the greatest possession.

I’m really confused by this. I have no idea what the rule set is lol

As somebody who does kyokushin, this looks very strange to me

Amaizing

Where are the 8 move combo moves into flying butterfly kicks I saw in cobra Kai? And the washing cars block moves lol

"we like hitting each other almost as much as fighting the air and jumping"

"You're the best ... around ..."

Pra mim o melhor esporte de luta que existe, maos e pernas extremamente rápidas, um esporte que premeia um golpe totalmente limpo, não precisa de um espancar o outro pra ter um campeão. Gostaria que um karateca casca grossa entrasse no MMA com um boa base de agarre/chao. O karateca no MMA tem que ficar bem esperto com sua guarda, mas não pode deixa-la de lado por é issoo que da a precisão pra acertar um soco reto limpo no rosto do adversário, ou até mesmo um chute, frontal por exemplo, o maigueri que o Anderson deu no Victor. Existe uma base no karatê que é específica pra briga de rua, que no caso a guarda é mais alta e os pés mais próximos um do outro, é isso que eu acho legal, pessoal acha que isso é o karatê mas não , todo artista marcial sabe que não é a luta em campeonatos que te faz se apaixonar, é o treino, a filosofia, a vontade de vencer o colega de treino muito bom, eu aprendi que as artes marciais não são algo pra se vangloriar ou se achar melhor que os outros, é pra viver mesmo, sentir sua energia pulsando, é algo que simplesmente faz parte da sua vida, assim como escovar os dentes, tomar banho... Minha maior referência de lutador sempre vai ser meu sensei, porque irmão, eu sei que ele poderia tomar um pau de vários caras aí, mas ele saberia me falar como vencer de cada um. Karatê não é so o esporte, no treino você vai fazer um sparring, vai treinar duro, nada é mole, seu sensei vai te ensinar como brigar na rua se for necessário, outras coisas pra ocasiões excepcionais, mas uma coisa boa que o karatê te ensina, é que você não precisa ser o valentão que quuer se aparecer por ser forte, a filosofia do karatê e de humildade e de sempre evitar o confronto se possível, gostaria que todas as academias qualquer arte marcial ensinasse isso, mas vemos que não é bem assim

Bien muchacho!! Excelente combate! En efecto peleó mejor el azul.

it was a good high level match i enjoyed it very fast

Super...i love to karate....it my dream world.....

So if you want more of combat karate then sport karate, you should check out the Karate Combat league, they even post their full events and fights online and they are all amazing. The overall aesthetic of the event is quite strange but the fights are amazing.

A chess tournament is literally more exciting.

YOU KNOW, IM A MORE VIOLENT PERSON AND I LIKE MORE OTHERS MARTIAL ARTS, BUT ABOVE ALL THAT, I RESPECT KARATE, I ENJOY WATCHING THIS.

Love to see good sportsmanship the winner hugged the opponent and then was off to celebrate

The little animations had me cracking up 😂

So many haters... Does boxing suck because they don't kick? Is judo phoney baloney because they don't punch? A martial arts competition doesn't need to resemble a street fight for it to prove skill and martial prowess. Being grounded and pounded isn't everyone's idea of having a good time. And unlike UFC, most martial arts practitioners are in it for the fun and not for the money.

Buena pelea, el azul tuvo golpes muy claros, merecía ganar. Para mi gusto hubo exceso de fuerza en los golpes.

Son muy rápidos, años de duro entrenamiento, disciplina esfuerzo.

Why in the comments people say karate doesn't work and is for weak people? They fight like that because those are the rules, it isn't like boxing that are just punches this are clean fights and martial arts are to protect yourself, not for entertainment and beat someone face, karate is not for weak people, is only that stupid people don't get it

Muito bem douglas sempre representando nosso pais bem ganhando ou perdendo no titulo de bi campeao mundial nao e para quaquer um tive o privilegio de conhecer o douglas na final do Brasileiro de 2015 e vi q nao mudou nada continua determinado a suas lutas e assim q o Brasil esta sendo representado por atletas determinados pena q o karate ainda nao e olimpico porque se caso alcontrari medalha nem q seja de bronse vc seria nosso campeao.

Nice one 👏

Bro two cats slapping eachother is more entertaining

point-fighting karate is really pathetic. they should get rid of it.

I really wana see one of them against Buakaw or Holzken.

I really wanted to see this martial art 100% practiced, really showing what it is like in a real fight

Somehow this is still more entertaining than those taekwondo tournaments I just watched..

SWEEP THE LEG!!!

GOD IS GREAT

3:15 it sounded like he said 50% off

Being someone who watches mma, has watched cobra kai and is all around a fight fan.. this is pretty damn entertaining if you know anything about fighting. This almost seemed like a high level chess match in terms of fighting.

They scream to try and convince the judges they hit harder - it's sounds silly but it is true! Good ol' tag ... I mean karate!

I hate RU-vid for even recommending this to me.

This is what happens when no one STRIKES FIRST

Expected: Cobra Kai Received: Two drunks with cerebral palsy hopping around

Is this the All Valley Karate Tournament?

When is there going to be an internet bully beatdown? For the guys, who hide behind the keyboard. Someone should start a show like that challenging the martial artists they criticize. Get off our competition videos and go play some more PC games.
