I am a karate point sparring practioner, I agree that's it does not simulate a true real fight. But point fighting eveloves timing and we'll placed shots. Do you relalize these top ten point fighting individuals could fight professionally and do well in kickboxing or mma. Look at Raymond Daniels highlights or even his record in k-1, look at Michael venom page look at Stephen Thompson. Just these 3 come from point fighting backgrounds and look at there success, in fighting. So playing tag leads to a physical tackle.
