Full contact in the late 70's and early 80's was so fucking brutal. I loved when two men could agree to a tournament brawl like this and still be men about it afterwards.
If Jhoon Rhee did not witness the kick in the face to Pat Worley, I don't think he would have developed the "safety" equipment. GM Rhee was very enterprising. He probably had patents on it and the manufacturing rights and got a lot of money because those paddings, even for children, are expensive; not to mention giving a false sense of security.
When I started in the 70s there was no real head gear we used hockey helmets and face shields for training . A lot of so called tough guys couldn't take it it was always the humble quiet guys who became something we would do finger push ups and knuckle push ups on a cement floor it was very hard but the people that stayed became instructors myself included
But those kind of sparring is counter productive to acquiring real skills. No punches on the head develops into a bad habit that makes you pay dearly when you transition to kick boxing or muaythai.

You're wrong. Karate is karate. There are not sport katas. There are katas used in a sport. You either train for competition or you train for fighting in a defensive/offensive situation. Either way the katas are the same. The application is what changes.

I did Judo for a long time, but what I love about Karate is that it is designed to neutralize the enemy in one touch, always aiming vital spots, saving as much energy as you can. Nothing tops karate....
There is absolutely no one touch to disable an opponent unless you hit them in the temple are of the head or forcefully kick someone in the head. Even so, some do not go down. This One Touch fantasy is only for the movies. Not real life. Anyone that tells you this, is a right-out liar lol

Kung fu was more of a northern style of Chinese wushu as opposed to how Karate came from more of a southern styles and was considered a form of Chinese boxing.
My time when I was young. This is how I learn Karate. This was the real deal....back when Karate was real. MMA doesn't have anything on this. Old school fighting.
I recall as a teenager in the mid 70’s, when I bought my first set of those Jhoon Rhee hand and footwear. I was so excited that me and my buddies could actually hit each other while sparring. I eventually gave up full-contact karate and studied Muay Thai for several years. Fun times! Man, what I would give to be 17 again. Happy holidays everyone ‼️
I trained in Okinawa Karate way back in the 80s and early 90s and we did tons of hard tissue conditioning to our shins, arms, toes, fingers, knuckles and lots of ground techniques. it was very nasty with techniques like eye gouging, vital strikes to places like the throat, groin, spine ect . It was never really meant for the ring or getting to old age. lol
I'm proud to say I was Hawaii's best for two years back in the nippon kokusai Shodokan karate days. I had to learn how to fight giants that would not go down. Some of those guys have extreme hip opposite side kicks. Really good.
Да. В ту эпоху 1960-80 годы насколько было каратэ настоящим жёстким контактным видом спорта, настолько же оно было зрелищным и интересным по красивым выступлениям... Сейчас этого уже нет. Давно не смотрю современные выступления и турниры, какое-то всё стало скучное и бездарное
Это вы о спортивном бесконтактном говорите - Шотокан. Посмотрите на киокушин. Там многое по-прежнему. Даже на соревнованиях регулярно медики сильно заняты.
@@sybarite_ухахахаха ахахахаз😂 эксперт. Я им занимался еще в 90-х, тогда без перчаток и снаряги соревнования проходили в полный контакт😂 в кровь рубились даже девушки
El coraje que me da de esta época que cualquier niñato es hoy en día campeón mundial de de cualquier estilo de karate al punto eso para mí no es karate ni mucho menos ESTO SI ES EL VERDADERO KARATE de antaño
En todo caso, lo que muestran aquí es Kyokushin...ellos siguen peleando asi,es su estilo...y no todos pueden llegar a ser cinta negra, si no eres capaz de defenderte.
Yeah partner I know what you mean. Wtf. Karate combat had gsp and machida, and GSPs idea of what a ring should look like, but they just couldn't nail down their rules etc and obviously brought on some ex marketing failure that probably got booted from some lesser mma organization for promoting drugged up cockfights between the homeless or something.
I'm still waiting for some Kyokushin, Enshin, Kudo guys to be allowed to fight in KC. Would love to see old Shotokan guys like what the British had back in the day. Elwyn Hall, Frank Brennan, George Best, Wayne Otto etc.
A different era with a different breed of men. We could do anything we put our minds to. We had hard work ethic and a champion's mentality. Something that has been lost with the soft people of today.
I trained shotokan for about 3 years. This is what I watched and was inspired by, this is what I expected to learn. Instead, it was in the late 90-ies and it was already starting to transform into today point based no contact karate. So what I learned was to be afraid of getting hit and not landing punches. Was a great and most usefull experience 0/10 would recommend.
The Last Samurai…. I showed this video to my students recently to explain how times have changed . It took me 12 years to to get my Shodan I see kids with black belts now that can barely show me a proper round kick. Times have changed but tradition cannot die. Nothing is given only earned .
Great video. It takes me back. I remember the days of wooden floors not tatami's, hard training, hard contact, deep bruises and skinned limbs. Black belt meant you had really paid your dues.
I was learning soryu Karate in Feb 1966. 14 years old. I remember our old school Karate was this brutal in Kumite without any protective gear except a cup for the Gonads. I am now 72. Still practicing and teaching. OSS!
This is the karate we all wanted to do as kids in the 90s. More importantly its what our Dads all wanted us to do. Now its all phobias and anxieties. We've lost our balance somewhere...
This is real karate mix with ITF Taekwondo open weight category. I lose my front tooth, a dent in the back of my head by a spinning back kick needed to get the C3 and 4 by removing the disk and replace it with a artificiacial then fuse, Dislocated right shoulder with a pin holding it together, a kick in the lower back sciatic nerve that left me in a wheelchair still able to walk a little bit. I was kicked out of the dojo due that I can not perform like I use to after 50 years in the art. My Sensei is 85 years old and can not do much either these days. What did you teach me Dad. That, I'm useless, belong in a trash can. Yes, my father is a celebrity from Canada and fought the best back in the 1960s, 70s. If it wasd not for Katas I would never walk again. I was accepted just recently that I can join CanRyu Jujitsu and kickboxing Wing Chun modified, Tai Chi and a Boxing club. I went for their free trail's they are willing to work with me.
Actually, I don't think it was a wheel kick. It looked more like a spinning Snap Reverse Crescent because his toes are pointing straight up to the ceiling, when he makes contact with side of guy's head. Then after contact he snaps his kick back down bending his leg at the knee. But an incredible kick, fast, and well executed.
Now i see where blood sport got it, when bolo young is breaking ice. This clip was as cool as blood sport. The music really went with it. 2:34 kills a guy goes into a sweet pose
Some of those fight are better that many MMA fights I have watched.
Good video got a little nostalgic. Reminds when karate was really Karate
Is Kyokushin video...They keep fighting like this.
that was never karate, it's american white trash
Mind you, the Gracie’s arrived
@@DreX-8810They never fought people using these styles of Karate. In fact, they only faced point based styles.

Seems in this video a black belt is for just kicking and punching
