This rules are just no sense... this is not karate, is just a point sparring system. Karate is all about to keep your focus on the search of a decisive blow: a perfect technique landed with full power when the opponent have no guard (kamae) or chance to defend yourself (like a fast combination of strikes or a counter strike). That is what karate should be about. you can have power and control at the same technique, you just need to have distancing control, this way you deliver a full power strike very close to the opponents face without actually touch the target (or just have a light touch).
It is not.This is just modern karate and have nothing to do whit traditional.It is a different that most people notice as bad.Modern Karate will never reach supremacy in kumite.
