I managed to get this converted from google video to quicktime format (with a zillion tons of help from my little but ferocious GF) . This video rocks.

I don't know what forum to put it in so here it is....

What is it with you CMA people and Quicktime? Definitely one of my favorites though.

You don't like quicktime!

It's not because I am CMA, it's because quicktime allows for the easiest stills, slow motion, searching and is the generally all around most powerfull video editing format. It is the industry standard in hollywood. That's where I got the habit, building AVID's for TV studios around LA.

What format you want? I can make it into anything. The video was originally .flv format. You got a player for that? Can you freezeframe in .flv?

Just sayin...

or you can download the google video player and just have it on there, thats what i did.

"Google is not available in your country".

That and .flv format still sucks ass.

cool, i was looking to download this.

Good job!

I was always wondering, how does the 100 man Kumite work?

Does the challenger guy have to not get knocked down? knocked out? How does he lose?

Well, at first, the 100 fights could be completed over two days but after 1967, Sosai Oyama decided that it would be all on the same day. The main requirements are to win at least half of the fights, and if you're knocked down then you don't stay down any longer than five seconds. You can take small breaks but it has to be all in the same day. I think Matsui has the best KO record with something like 65% or so.

I'd really like to enter a kumite some time, it sounds like it'd be pretty fun

I'd also like to know how he wins?!?! DOes one guy have to fight 100 guys? Or is it a 100 person tourney, where the fighters eventually beat eachother until there's only 2 left?

edit: the video might answer some of these questions for me, but i don't have quicktime at my workstation, or a sound card.

One guy basically fights 100 guys one at a time.

...and the clip is in fact Matsui. At a couple points you can see the cards in the background showing how many fights so far. I think about half way through I saw "58" on flip cards. The beggining of the clip is just some Kyokshin highlights but after that it's all Matsui and his 100 man Kumite...AFAIK. You can see how tired he is in the last one.

That fucker rocks.

What is the point of this?

Black belt test for old school Kyokshin.

And Koto Ryo was exaggerating. Not 100 guys at once, 100 guys back to back and last I checked it was over 2 days so basically you fight 50 guys in a row with no break. You have to knock them all down or out of the ring or something. I don't know exactly but beat them according to the ruleset. Then you crawl home and go to bed knowing tommorow you have to do it again. Oh yeah, and all 100 guys have to be Kyokshin black belts.

What was the point? Did you watch the clip? It kicks ass.

It was over 2 days until 1967, now it's all in one day. It was a test for 4th degree for a short time, but Sosai Oyama realized not everybody would be able to do it so he made it optional.

Omar, according to a site I read the 100 man Kumite was manditory for the 4th Dan, but not any longer. Also I believe it does have to be done all in one day. It actually says this in the link that Koto provided.
