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.

Weirdly couldn’t find it on their channel

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

The fight starts at 3hr 15min mark if anyone wanted to fast forward to that specific fight.
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?
