haha thats a good one! but you know, its like in the superhero crossovers. misunderstandings have to lead to interesting fights.

Unfortunately it happened, and it wasn't good.

I have no idea what that was but it wasn't aikido vs shotokan.

 

[Ironbear24]

It wouldn't really happen. We are both usually chill people.

I'm no aikido guy but it didn't look much like aikido to me but regardless he shut down those karate folks like he was tossing aside some little kids.

Been doing this Karate thing for a long time now. I'm not sure what that was. From what's been presented, it seems to indicate Shotokan Karate. That's not anything like Shotokan Karate as I've ever seen it. And the people sparring, presumably Shotokan Karate people... are wearing gloves. So why aren't they hitting their opponent?

You got some splaining to do.

Mainly because most of them were little kids.....

He's done quite a few vids on how to counter Bjj techniques as well. Hopefully he stops by a Bjj school to test them out, like he did on those karate kids.

this was wkf karate. so no matter if you do shotokan or an other karate style, if you want tournaments in this federation, you have to do that kumite style you saw there. its terrible. if someone has a good guard or comes close, they don't know what to do, since in their reglement, its not even allowed. therefore, they don't train it.

So what you are saying is they don't know how to fight?

there are some exploding techniques which can be useful, but basically yes!

Looking at the video I can only conclude that head punches were not allowed. Not really a fair look then at the Karate of that school.

Before everybody gets hung up on Hanzou's video (friendly inter-art sparring at a school that uses light contact and no face punches - not real impressive but kudos to the participants trying something different), I wanted to point out that I really liked the message of the original video that Steve posted.

Absolutely Tony!
