Just wanted to share how tippy tappers really train hard to be good tippy tappers.

Btw the heavy punches in the matches most probably are fouls (besides the ones where the opponent does not defend himself, then it is his fault, so you get the point) but he still won in the end, it is all part of the sport.

Big respect for such a dedicated sportsman.

We live in a post UFC 1 world. It is actually easier to find ammy and pro mma venues than it is to still locate these Original Karate Kid with Ralph Macchio style tourneys. This guy is training like a beast to do outdated light contact point sparring against TMA hobbyists. It's retarded.

His opponents, like him are mostly paid athletes who represent their country, not "TMA hobbyist". Light contact sparring is not "outdated" this is sports karate. And no, sports karate tournaments are still held very regularly all over the world, just that most of them are not advertised much outside of the dojos that practice it, because it is not made for entertainment.

Someone is paying those guys to fight like 6 year old krotty kids in front of empty seats in high school gymnasiums?

This video is pretty hilarious. Highlights for me were him going spastic while connected to what looked like a cross between a leg curl machine and a polygraph, and the bit towards the end where he was "squatting". I say "squatting" because I can't think of what to call it. He unracks a bar that's too heavy for him, does a couple of nor-even-1/4 squats, then drops the bar and makes a tiger face.

LoL? Competitions, in Europe, are still widespread and well attended by competitors. A local competition still draws around 200-300 competitors. In most countries sports karate is still far more widespread than MMA.

Btw the heavy punches in the matches most probably are fouls (besides the ones where the opponent does not defend himself, then it is his fault, so you get the point) but he still won in the end, it is all part of the sport.

According to the judges movement, flags, they were all counted as points.

It's simple really, sports karate still has many members which also means there are many people doing that type of competition. Any sport when done at a high level, and this guy is competing at world level, requires a lot of training.

[Mr. Machette]

His mastery of bullshit is very impressive.

Though I believe that sport karate has its place among the general population that don't compete in kickboxing, MMA, boxing, or knockdown, it is not for those who want heavy contact. Most of my adult students don't waste their time with "tag" sparring, as they get disqualified for excessive contact. And that gets very expensive, very quickly as the tourneys are pretty pricey.

The only thing that really burns me about point sparring is that most who compete in that arena fo competition think they are bad mama-jammas. I had oneof my students get told last week by one of the local point sparring bigshots that those of us who compete in full contact are just brawlers and that we have no technique. It is because her husband and sons are all point fighters. I guess they will always live in their own little world.

All right, let's go over this guy's training schedule.

-One lap in the pool. Start off with breast stroke, don't have enough upper body strength to get proper height, quit and do front stroke, lazy backstroke on the way back. Get out of pool and flash abs.

-Water break, put on sponsor gear.

-Pan shot on wall of trophies, insinuate they're all won by the guy. They're not.
-Stretch provocatively
-Medicine ball drills. Wear spandex pants for maximum efficiency.
-Treadmill time. Mention to pretty girl how tight abs are feeling today.

-Shadowbox like a 6-year-old boy who just finished watching Ninja Turtles.
-Punch dummy in between throwing medicine ball. Wait for viewer to question what it's for before immediately dropping to push-ups because that drill was boring.
-Crunches. Mention to trainer how tight abs are feeling today.
-Balance board.

-In the laboratory, do leg lifts without keeping ass in seat to bolster ratings and downplay lack of increase in strength. Emphasize with tiger face.

-Listen to coach somewhere in a park. Stretch provocatively, then check watch to subtly indicate he's talking for too long.
-Run.
-Sprint up six stairs. Another six stairs. And again. And again. And again. And again.

-Do the Can-Can over hurdles.
-Continue dancing around and over hurdles.
-Play hopscotch with hurdles.

-Leg lifts. Spandex pants increase dick-grinding into seat efficiency by 20%.
-Deadlift. Drop weights like a douchebag.
-Put retarded amount of weight onto bar for squats. Get halfway into motion, realize leg tendons are snapping and get out of it. Make tiger face to cover shame. Do again at urging of trainer. Drop weights again like a total douche.

-Swing legs up and down from boredom.
-Run sprints.
-Hammer row standing up. Destroy point of exercise by pushing with the help of legs.
-Swing legs in the air some more.

-Hyperactive dips. Don't complete a single good rep.
-Climb up sides of pull-up bar to look cool. Do pull-ups.
-Bench press.

-Ride motorcycle to another bad 80s song.
-Punch the air with buddies. Half-ass punches while they try really hard.
-Jumping jacks.
-Switch legs around over and over in deep stances while punching, ignore possibility of ever fighting a wrestler.
-Do same combo to spastic buddy multiple times.

-Focus mitts to reinforce combos used to beat on compliant friend. Don't forget to tell editor to use slow motion for JUMP KICK!
-Punch heavy bag. Don't wear gloves or wraps because they're for pussies.
-Make white belt mistake and lower hands while kicking.
-Punch wall makiwara without any rotation in the arms or hips.

-Do kata similar to bodybuilding posing. Mention to buddy how tight abs feel today.
-Let buddies punch stomach. Flinch on every hit.
-Kick pad. More slow motion.
-Flash abs. Get in tub. Mention to trainer again how tight abs feel today.
-Get creepy rubdown.
-Have someone else ice shoulder. Tell him to switch shoulders, using opportunity to sneak in intimate touch. Mention how tight abs are feeling today.


Sounds like a winner to me.

Sure, most of the other sports like boxing, muaythai, kyokushin really have and train anti-wrestling moves, especially since they don't ignore possibility of suddenly fighting a wrestler in their sport.

:D I love your objective and informative post, cause obviously he is a douche and his training is ALL in that montage with music, entertaining.



get over yourself :D

I love the way how during all those flurries the "victim's" head never snaps around.

[Squerlli]

Funny how this guy trains harder then most of the people that post here.

Yeah, training hard to be a spazzy mega-douche.

Seriously, a lil' fella like you could mop the floor with this guy. Hell, even Sirc could beat him.
