Under FOULS section of KC Rules: "Single and Double leg takedowns" See 10:25 and 15:55 onwards for three of his double leg takedowns. He took serious damage around 10:30 and spammed illegal takedowns as clinch substitutes to avoid further damage. Skrivers was too scared to fight with legal techniques. If he were warned about the illegal takedowns, this would've been an interesting fight. Shame on KC for letting him get away with those antics.

@heresjonny666 11 месяцев назад

A bit of ineffectual ground and pound beats a knock down and solid calf kicks? Seems off. Think you need to look at your takedown rules too. If a guy can literally do nothing but stay out of range before diving at someone's leg to do a 'not really' single leg takedown, land ground and pound, reset, rinse and repeat, you're going to create a very very dull meta. Should only be able to do that off a caught kick.

Totally agree. Should definitely be sweeps or throws, too. Not driving forward to the wall off a caught kick (in case anyone suggests that should be okay).

@Bobo1031able 11 месяцев назад

I think it's against the original concept of Karate Combat that if a fighter came into a fight with his first priority being initiating takedowns. I mean, the whole point of Karate Combat Rules allowing takedowns and 5-second ground working time is to provide fighters more choices and make the fight process more fluid so that when the fight inevitably get into the clinch situation(like what we usually saw in a boxing or kickboxing match, when two fighters got tangled up, they have to either do nothing and wait for the referee to separate them or start making some not-so-clean moves which are hard to tell should be counted as significant points or not）, fighters can keep the fight in their hands and show more well-rounded skills, and that leads to more beautiful fights. Hence clinch takedowns(including catch-a-strike then takedowns such as kick catch with sweeps) should count more, while shooting from outside for takedowns should never be rewarded as much. As in this fight, Egars may not be going for double-legs, but he's definitely shooting from outside. It should be seen as being passive instead of being effective. That being said, It really requires highly well educated judges that truly understand key aspects of combat sports. Sadly the outcome of this fight went this way, not just for Gabriel Varga, who I think got robbed, but for the rising, expanding organization Karate Combat as well. Like I said, damage to its original concept which is exactly what makes it unique and beautiful.

@ogloc6308 11 месяцев назад

@thermyo 11 месяцев назад

If you're going to reward takedowns, reward based on technique, not just application. There are plenty of interesting throws and sweeps in Karate but Scrivers just dived in for most of his takedowns, so he wasn't in a position to score well on the ground. It's fine that he won but it really felt too much like an MMA bout, not kumite.

Although I follow Gabriel for quite some time now and cheered for him, the decision is probably OK. But I also believe that KC needs to address takedowns.

And I for myself certainly won't watch those. This was so dull to experience...

@adamtankersley7441 11 месяцев назад

I think one issue that needs to be addressed immediately is referee training. Seems like they got some ‘B’ list refs in this event. My guess would be that was due to the UFC event in Jacksonville on the same day. I think that a ref like say Mark Goddard or some other more established ref that had several of these events under their belt would have done a better job controlling the takedown abuse. It’s important to remember that KC writes the ruleset, and that the Athletic Commission has to enforce it. So problems can come from either the definition or application of the rules. But I am in total agreement that Skrivers was allowed to play outside of what most understand the rules to be, and made what should’ve been a barn burner a total nothingburger, culminating in a very questionable 4th round decision.

@dstavs 10 месяцев назад

Can someone please explain to me why this even went to a 4th round? Apparently Skrivers won the first round with a series of illegal double-leg takedowns and completed two more in the fourth. Very little “karate” in his performance and more MMA than anything else. Varga was clearly the better striker, stuff multiple takedown attempts and won both the second, third and fourth rounds. Varga dropped Skrivers at 15:35 with a stiff right hand in the fourth which was the most impactful strike in the fight. It should never have gone to four and even then, Varga won the fourth. KC, please get the application of the rules straight and ensure that your judges understand what is considered illegal.

Leg kicks are okay and it's cool if it's for strategy or even hobbles the opponent.

Sometimes Skriver did attempt some strikes but too few and far between.

@heresjonny666 11 месяцев назад

After reviewing the rules, the last 2 takedowns from Skrivers were 100% illegal and so them and their ground and pound after should NOT have scored at all. The fourth round comprised of: 2 arguably legal takedowns where Varga hit Skrivers more during them, with the first he landed more punches, in the second he kicked him in the head from the bottom position while taking nothing in return. Pretty much equal calf kicks (Varga landed more, Skrivers landed one stronger one) A full on knockdown causing a bleeding wound from Varga to Skrivers 2 illegal double leg takedowns leading to some ground and pound - should have been disregarded as coming from illegal techniques. The judges need to learn the rules better. The rules need to be better communicated. At the time I thought Varga may have lost the round, but after looking at the rules it's impossible to conclude Skrivers won that.

@outerlast 8 месяцев назад

I see a lot of people used the excuse of "Karate has grappling" and similar ones. See it this way: SUMO has takedowns and strikings, but it has RULES. If you break that rules, you lose. If your takedowns have your hand or knee touching the ground, you lose. If your striking use fist instead of palm, you lose. Illegal techniques are banned and lead to instant lost and possibly career-ending. These don't make sumo a lesser art than MMA, wrestling, muay thai, etc. These makes sumo sumo. You can say the same with Olympic judo, a lot of traditional judo takedowns are illegal there. Or muay thai, only specific takedowns are allowed there. So what's with "karate has grappling" that excuses illegal techniques? Karate has eye pokes, groin strikes, etc, so should we see those techniques in tournament too, who cares if they're illegal or not?

@@lamblias6od its because these mmassh0l3s are trolling, its the usual scenario of ''muay thai/boxers'' are thai is better than this martial art, or boxing better than this, kind like ''my pokemon is better than yours'' LOL bunch of kid personalities thats what they are. its cringe to see these trolls talk smack to these athletes, but they dont understand most of these fighters gonna knock their favourite fighter ez. we saw what happen to a bellator star who came to fight and got himself handled by a shorter fighter namely Aghayev. most of these mma fighters /thai/boxers have 0 skill when it comes to fight from long distance, thats why u see them struggle so much. as for the takedown cringe crying, its because these kids learned karate from karate kid or cobra kai or some karate chop b.s movie w/e they have 0 clue what karate is and it speaks volumes from their commenting stuff they have 0 knowledge about.

@@TacticalMartialArts What I'm saying is that takedowns exist even in traditional karate. If you go to a karate school, they will teach you takedowns, so it seems strange to me that you mention 'karate' as if it's not normal in that martial art. I would understand your point if it were kickboxing or Muay Thai. Furthermore, Edgars had never resorted to takedowns to win a fight before, but Gabriel is a very good striker, so the easiest way to defeat him was by using takedowns, especially considering that Gabriel is not good at takedowns.

@ybu22z 11 месяцев назад

A clear disparity of striking vs takedowns. Is the act of a takedown in or of itself the goal, or is the goal the result from the position it presents, and the resultant strikes to the grounded opponent? Where should the scoring be focused towards? This was an excercise in getting beaten in the standup versus takedowns with ineffectual outcomes.

The way edgar won was through a rule exploit.. after all his talking saying this was for the championship etc and for him to have to win the bout like this is disappointing. So many things wrong with this. The rules are not clear, the refs are not trained or qualified enough to ref cause of these rules it seems, and scoring wise why would take downs in a karate match score more than strikes and knockdowns? Gabriel on the feet was clearly a different level and it showed. Wow this was a let down and gabe is the one that got the shit end of things cause he won the fight but lost due to these weird circumstances smh

@bjf9304 5 месяцев назад

This was frustrating to watch. Are single and double leg takedowns legal or not? The rules still say they are not. Varga needs to work on his grappling if they’re legal. If these types of takedowns are legal then thigh kicks and elbows should be legal. Hammer fists should be legal. Clinch strikes should be legal. Hook kicks should be legal. Open hand strikes should be legal. Finger strikes should be legal barring eye or throat strikes. We will probably see more Judo moves to counter the wrestling. I’m confused as to what the rules are, but with only 3 rounds it makes sense to wrestle because stamina isn’t as much of an issue.

@greatbluerabbit1265 11 месяцев назад

If you score a takedown the only thing essentially you are allowed is ground and pound but from standing above the competitor, not while in the guard on top of him. Also g&p is only 5 seconds and they stand the fighters up. Fun fact only single leg takedowns are allowed.

To add a bit more if a fighter has his back on the pit wall it is considered like he is standing up so all goes as kicks etc. Once on the floor only g&p with the hands.

@hydroturd 11 месяцев назад

probably the thing weirdest about this ruleset is the clench. Clench range is the only logical explanation for most bunkai I've seen (shotokan, shito-ryu, goju ryu). If can't strike in clench, then yes takedowns become easier so should be scored less (or the ground strikes should be scored less, maybe at 1/3). I don't know what the rules are in this, but at least it's different from kickboxing and more engaging than olympics karate.
