Last night was karate combat 37, and I’ve been believing for a while now the first set of movements from saifa kata were throws/body slams, rather than the elbowing someone behind you I was taught, and Gabriel Varga went into a body lock, to a body slam ending more or less in shiko dachi early in the fight pretty much exactly how I have been thinking of the practical application of those early saifa movements.

In a day or two they’ll like have the individual fights uploaded as their own videos as well.

Okay, I've watched the fight and Varga looks good (as he always does). @GojuTommy , could you post a link to video of the kata in question and point out the sections which you think corresponds to the technique Varga was using?
