As a bullied kid in the early 70's, four years of this changed me from being bullied to taking up for the bullied. The trajectory of my life changed for the better too. You got tough or you left the dojo. No "belt" was given to you based on time in lessons because you earned it with blood, sweat and skill development. I am thankful for my sensei and honor him still with how I live life.
the joke is you just stop it you clown i lost more blood shaving then any matches you ever saw and i was around then and im around now ,they were all paper tigers nothing more@@NorsePJ
This brings back watching back to the mid 60's. I got to watch an all-Japan versus all-U.S. competition. It was like these videos captured, fast and unexpected. A movie, they've rehearsed the sequences, competition is real life, unrehearsed and unprepared.
The only styles who kept it legit are kyokushin, goju-ryu and shito-ryu as far as I know. And the shotokan variation of the Machida family. Othet than that nost styles just focus on competition in points.@@Edwin-pq6dg
hahaha Funakoshi the founder of shotokan got his ass handed to him go look it up and learn a few things , what they teach in karated does not work its all based on kata not combat
@@jamesanagnos6123 Having studied Kyokushin, back in the 70s...it works. Ask those guys that lost their teeth trying to rob my friend and me at knife point.....OUCH!!!!
Esto era karate de verdad donde se usaban técnicas de defensa y ataque y no como hoy en día muchas reglas prohibidas y lo malo de todo esto que cualquier niñato llega a campeón del mundo de karate o de Europa sin pegar un más puñetazo las federaciones y asociaciones los tienen bien cuidados, aprender niñatos de lo que es el verdadero karate
Me acuerdo de ese karate en esa epoca era sin guantes en los torneos nos dabamos a puño limpio ,me acuerdo q las clases eran intensas el sensei era bien extricto ni se te ocurra pedir permiso para tomar agua en medio de una clase y el kimono tenia q salir de una clase o con sudor o sangre jjjaaja q epoca q la recuerdo con mucho cariño y respeto.q dios lo guarde a mi sensei algun dia nos volveremos a ver y compartir recuerdos...
@@Don-James . You used to get so much respect when you told people that you practice karate-do. Back then even a green belt was something serious. It took around 10 years to achieve brown belt and black belt, well you could either forget about it or basically take it from another black belt by beating him in kumite. Blood, sweat and tears.... you had to enjoy the pain!
@@nrxmonk Shotokan use to be a competent fighting style before it got involved into the olympics. Now Kyokushin karate, Kudo Karate, and Goju ryu karate are the only legitimate karate styles that are actually close to the real original okinawan karate.
Soy practicante de Taekwondo (cinta blanca-amarilla) aunque me ha empezado a gustar e interesar mucho el karate, sobretodo los estilos Kyokushin, Ashihara y Uechi Ryu, desafortunadamente no hay un dojo cerca de Donde vivo, pero hare un esfuerzo por practicarlo, así sea en mi casa viendo un video, porque lo que he visto de esta arte marcial japonesa me ha dejado intrigado, Saludos a los que Karatecas que puedan leer esto, OSU ❤🥋🇯🇵
Para los que dicen que el karate no sirve que se vean estos videos de la vieja escuela. For those who say that karate does not serve to watch these old school videos.
Estos videos están buenos, pero cuando pusieron eso de pelear al punto se arruino, sacaron los uraken, las patadas de giro, eran combates de gyaku tzuki, lo mejor de hoy para mí es el Karate Combat
@@javieracuna921antes también era a los puntos pero la diferencia es q iban a ganar el punto ahora en cambio evitan q les hagan punto es como el fútbol ahora es más defensivo
@@Charlitos1988 la verdad es que nunca me gustó eso de pelear al punto, nada que ver las imágenes del vídeo con las peleas de los torneos, una vez hubo una serie de combates de maestros, el que mejor combatía lo hacía con las piernas, en una de esas conecto una patada de giro saltando que le dio en la cara al rival, el árbitro lo descalificó por exceso de contacto, le recordó que la patada pegaba y volvía, me gustaría ver al árbitro como hubiera hecho para que una patada en giro pegue y vuelva, otra cosa ahí se ven a peleadores del Kyokushinkai, que nada tienen que ver con pelear al punto
Some of those fighters seem to have no technique at all. They just run into the enemy throwing punches. Others seem to control the action - the real karate-ka.
Kyokushin is just sport, real karate is budoh. Budoh is basically no rules and mechanic of battle zone。 throw, joint, finger, head bat, and off Cose weapons.
Hardwood floors wet with sweat, no mats, only protective gear was a cup and mouth piece. 200 sit ups, 90 pushups, run a mile on gravel road, not allowed to wipe the sweat burning your eyes while the class was formed up. Kumite ended with blood, bruises, and liver kicks that would drop you like a wet towel. That was Kempo in the 70's.
You had hardwood floors? So lucky... I remember we only had a polished cement floor, and when you sweated too much it became slippery. So you had to take extra care when you kicked. Because you would end up doing a sacrifice drop kick 😄. We called those sutemi mawashi geri 😅. The first time in America when I stepped into a mat, it was like heaven....so soft!
I use kyokushin karate when the rule is can't punch the face. I use standard shotokan when it's legal to punch the face. Sabaki, is the concept I really love when fighting against a boxer, their weakness is on foot. Kick them in the leg or hips, the footwork will become hard, it's mean they need more energy to dodge the strike and launch the strike. You need to learn 2 styles of karate, because this is very useful in real life fights against a person who trained in martial arts. I'm 50 Kg, 163cm. But If you can lend me your body weight and body height, i will go to competition as MMA fighter. I am trained 2 style of karate, Jujutsu (not Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu), kombat sambo. Other martial arts i just reach are the same as the blue belt so i don't count it (Judo, Aikijutsu, Tarung Drajat, Muay thai). If someone is the same as me in terms of body posture, i will not be defeated by them in full contact fight.
this is not that old school. there are still some kyokushin karate and traditional okinawan karate (goju-ryu, uechi-ryu) kumire tournaments done like that
This is like real karate! I immediately remembered training in my youth. We didn't play, we fought. Yes, with tradition. Yes, with respect to the enemy. Yes, we did not complete finishing blows! We did not complete only finishing blows! What now?! The boy received a high-class belt, and an ordinary hooligan smashed his face on the street! The punches of the "karateka" did not reach the goal! Blocks of "karateka" could not ward off simple peasant blows! It's a shame! This is absurd! World has gone mad!
I was sixteen and I remember going to school with a shiner or two. My gym teacher pulled me aside and asked if everything was okay at home. I said "Oh, these? I earned these at karate training. Don't mind these." That was in '99
When I fought in tournaments in the seventies we didn't use gloves or any protective equipment. This changed for me , after taking a hard shin kick to the groin, and my quick trip to the doctor once I could stand up and breath again. I bought a groin protector shortly after that moment. In the eighties everyone used rubber gloves and foot protection, but I still got my bell rung a few times.
Did 17 years starting in 76..this was what it was back then..!!..Certainly gave us heads up for the street...IF you could take the harsh training of the time..!!..Plenty gave up..!!...At the end I had female "Black Belts " telling me to "control " whenever they came up against me..!!...Excuse me..??!!??.. Miss those old days...!!!!!
Now that's what I call using karate and how to make it work and how to put it into use into a real fight you guys know how to use it quite well I just wish I could have done better with mine much better and looking at this video is the proof of it I just wish I could go back to 2011 and start my karate training all over again I wonder how my original karate instructor is doing he said that he was my friend and I should have had stayed in his class it would have been better that way I just wish I would have known where he was if I just got up out of my bed I could have just wanted so much more from him and his his two sons and the rest cuz they were like like my new friends like like good people I never actually talked with I just wish I can see them a again it would have been better that way and it could have been made me stronger and more more powerful than any other as long as I come out of it alive after all the martial arts including karate is a way of life 🥋☯️🙏😌🙏☯️🥋
This was what I was used to. Now you dont even get a point for a punch to the face. I see the problem it creates. The karatekas hands are low so in a real fight... they will get punched in the face.
modern MMA, the fighters seem less afraid to get hit in the face/head vs these old school tournaments. nonetheless, black belts were earned in the old days vs paying $$$....by modern standards, no one would sign up to achieve a black belt now, too much work/time....
@ The Landlord Punches to the head/face can be intimating to anyone in a fight including boxers which is why some dedicate extra time to becoming good (elite) at head movement. These old school karate tournaments were mostly fought bare-knuckle as you can see, bare-knuckle (bone against bone) is inherently more painful and the lack of big gloves for defence similarly to mma increases the chances of being knocked out. Just something important to consider when claiming these karateka were more afraid to get punched in the face/head.
Really? These karate people sucked at defending their faces. The fought as if unafraid ... until they got hit. No guard, no head moment. Now, if you mean they flinch and run after getting hit in the face, more than MMA fighters, that's true. But only because MMA fighters wear high-quality gloves. Those karate fighters were bare-knuckle, or had poor-quality gloves. Instant loose teeth so broken nose or detached cornea.
