kyokushin guys put on headgear and go at it. ground fight is also shown in the vid. bery much awesome.

even better than the polish video! imo:happy:

That has been posted before.

But still.... i never tire of this video.

I like that anything goes.

Sorta NHB since strikes to the groin are allowed, as seen in the vid. I don't know of any other event that allows that.

Wow, thats gives me a whole new perspective on karate, too bad most of karate is not like this.

The problem is that traditional martial arts stayed in the past while kickboxing/boxing/MMA is moved forward. They say in the end that they are making tradition to the next step(for about 20 years). Yet almost all of the fights shown here resemble some, if not alot of boxing/muay thai/ MMA fights. Its about fucking time...

I wonder how many people competed there were from other styles....

Some have terrible Thai clinches... especiaily the one fight where the guy has full neck control and loses causes he got kneed by someone in a much worst position.

Groin strikes are allowed? I think they were accidental
Edit: nevermind, read the video info

That throw at 1.08: fucking brilliant.

I have seen this video many times now, and I never tire of it.

Thanks for posting it, I hadn't seen it yet.

Gotta love those gi-clinch headbutts! Heh.

Very nice...

It's a great video, but I hate that head gear.

I think people are going for techniques and moves that they would never do with out a full helmet like that.

In the Polish full contact video, guys were getting knocked out with one punch from shooting in badly are more cautions, and IMO it is more realistic.

I haven't seen them block a single low kick THO.

Best clip out there.

See the difference though with out the full head gear, you just can't rush in swining for the hills.

The people in the Polish vid who do that get KTFO.

I see the difference.

If you're trying to say that they couldn't adjust themselves to another set of rules in another competition format where they don't allow faceplate?

Emmmmmh!I think they could do quite well.

And if you're referring to a practitioner of this style using headlong rushes and headbuts on the street. I’m certain their instructors have taken the time to educate them with all possible eventualities in life.

Both vids are awesome, but I think if those guys were not wearing headgear with facemasks you wouldn't be seeing very many headbutts.

Exactly the point I was trying to make.
