Full contact in the late 70's and early 80's was so fucking brutal. I loved when two men could agree to a tournament brawl like this and still be men about it afterwards.
If Jhoon Rhee did not witness the kick in the face to Pat Worley, I don't think he would have developed the "safety" equipment. GM Rhee was very enterprising. He probably had patents on it and the manufacturing rights and got a lot of money because those paddings, even for children, are expensive; not to mention giving a false sense of security.
@@infestchristopher1457 yeah No pussy Rules Just give them cloves and lets Go do what you want. Just dont spit, Scratch, bite, poke the eyes or Hit the Balls! Everything Else shouldnt be restrictet
@@infestchristopher1457 sorry bro but I doubt that will happen with all this new era stuff honestly I didn’t know karate was this good of a sport never seen it like this
When I started in the 70s there was no real head gear we used hockey helmets and face shields for training . A lot of so called tough guys couldn't take it it was always the humble quiet guys who became something we would do finger push ups and knuckle push ups on a cement floor it was very hard but the people that stayed became instructors myself included
But those kind of sparring is counter productive to acquiring real skills. No punches on the head develops into a bad habit that makes you pay dearly when you transition to kick boxing or muaythai.
I recall as a teenager in the mid 70’s, when I bought my first set of those Jhoon Rhee hand and footwear. I was so excited that me and my buddies could actually hit each other while sparring. I eventually gave up full-contact karate and studied Muay Thai for several years. Fun times! Man, what I would give to be 17 again. Happy holidays everyone ‼️
You're wrong. Karate is karate. There are not sport katas. There are katas used in a sport. You either train for competition or you train for fighting in a defensive/offensive situation. Either way the katas are the same. The application is what changes.
@@kasimjarkai7807 What I am saying is just an opinion, not a fact to be used as a reference.. maybe you mean karate types such as shotukan goju ryu, shito ryu, and many more.. what I am explaining is based on online research only. .what I want to convey is that hard training founders like Mas Oyama are no longer practiced because they are too extreme to practice.
@@pkicng210 saya tidak buat kajian tentang tai chi cuma hanya melihat golongan tua membuat senaman tai chi tapi saya pasti itu cuma satu cabang dari teknik taichi
I did Judo for a long time, but what I love about Karate is that it is designed to neutralize the enemy in one touch, always aiming vital spots, saving as much energy as you can. Nothing tops karate....
There is absolutely no one touch to disable an opponent unless you hit them in the temple are of the head or forcefully kick someone in the head. Even so, some do not go down. This One Touch fantasy is only for the movies. Not real life. Anyone that tells you this, is a right-out liar lol
@@Psypher169 The video is a practical example of your wrongness. Most clean blows to the head or solar plexus disable the enemy, this is what they teach in karate, probably.
@@Psypher169Tengo un libro muy antiguo de Jiu Jitsu donde se señalan los PUNTOS VITALES y como atacarlos y hay como 20 o más en toda la anatomía humana y cada punto neutraliza, paraliza o hasta ocasiona la muerte, según el punto, sabiendo como aplicar un golpe, presión o pinchazo con los dedos en el lugar exacto del punto señalado, claro esto requiere mucho estudio y práctica. 😊
Kung fu was more of a northern style of Chinese wushu as opposed to how Karate came from more of a southern styles and was considered a form of Chinese boxing.
My time when I was young. This is how I learn Karate. This was the real deal....back when Karate was real. MMA doesn't have anything on this. Old school fighting.
I trained in Okinawa Karate way back in the 80s and early 90s and we did tons of hard tissue conditioning to our shins, arms, toes, fingers, knuckles and lots of ground techniques. it was very nasty with techniques like eye gouging, vital strikes to places like the throat, groin, spine ect . It was never really meant for the ring or getting to old age. lol
I'm proud to say I was Hawaii's best for two years back in the nippon kokusai Shodokan karate days. I had to learn how to fight giants that would not go down. Some of those guys have extreme hip opposite side kicks. Really good.
Да. В ту эпоху 1960-80 годы насколько было каратэ настоящим жёстким контактным видом спорта, настолько же оно было зрелищным и интересным по красивым выступлениям... Сейчас этого уже нет. Давно не смотрю современные выступления и турниры, какое-то всё стало скучное и бездарное
Это вы о спортивном бесконтактном говорите - Шотокан. Посмотрите на киокушин. Там многое по-прежнему. Даже на соревнованиях регулярно медики сильно заняты.
@@sybarite_ухахахаха ахахахаз😂 эксперт. Я им занимался еще в 90-х, тогда без перчаток и снаряги соревнования проходили в полный контакт😂 в кровь рубились даже девушки
Yeah partner I know what you mean. Wtf. Karate combat had gsp and machida, and GSPs idea of what a ring should look like, but they just couldn't nail down their rules etc and obviously brought on some ex marketing failure that probably got booted from some lesser mma organization for promoting drugged up cockfights between the homeless or something.
I'm still waiting for some Kyokushin, Enshin, Kudo guys to be allowed to fight in KC. Would love to see old Shotokan guys like what the British had back in the day. Elwyn Hall, Frank Brennan, George Best, Wayne Otto etc.
A different era with a different breed of men. We could do anything we put our minds to. We had hard work ethic and a champion's mentality. Something that has been lost with the soft people of today.
El coraje que me da de esta época que cualquier niñato es hoy en día campeón mundial de de cualquier estilo de karate al punto eso para mí no es karate ni mucho menos ESTO SI ES EL VERDADERO KARATE de antaño
En todo caso, lo que muestran aquí es Kyokushin...ellos siguen peleando asi,es su estilo...y no todos pueden llegar a ser cinta negra, si no eres capaz de defenderte.
The Last Samurai…. I showed this video to my students recently to explain how times have changed . It took me 12 years to to get my Shodan I see kids with black belts now that can barely show me a proper round kick. Times have changed but tradition cannot die. Nothing is given only earned .
Great video. It takes me back. I remember the days of wooden floors not tatami's, hard training, hard contact, deep bruises and skinned limbs. Black belt meant you had really paid your dues.
Actually, I don't think it was a wheel kick. It looked more like a spinning Snap Reverse Crescent because his toes are pointing straight up to the ceiling, when he makes contact with side of guy's head. Then after contact he snaps his kick back down bending his leg at the knee. But an incredible kick, fast, and well executed.
I was learning soryu Karate in Feb 1966. 14 years old. I remember our old school Karate was this brutal in Kumite without any protective gear except a cup for the Gonads. I am now 72. Still practicing and teaching. OSS!
