Are there any full contact karate (or similar pyjama fighting) competitions that I can watch online or whatever? Like, streams of kyokushin competitions or whatever? I can find a few point fighting karate competitions online but that poo poo sucks.

This is the first day of the most recent WKO kyokushin world tournament. The rest should be on that channel, they livestream them as well.

road fc has been running an open weight tournament with a very fat sumo baby man, hong man choi, bob sapp, mighty mo, a giant korean boxer guy. the final is hong man choi vs mighty mo somehow and takes place in 3 weeks in korea.

they also signed peter aerts and jerome lebanner, who will have a combined age of 90, for their tournament next year.

there's also the moat fight organisation ganryujima which is basically the ufc 1 version of the super hulk tournament

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Ganryu-Jima wants to Make Sumo Great Again so they invented a hybrid of pushing and striking and it rules.

They seem to have a site finalized, ganryujima.jp and for like 980 yen per month, you get full video access, so I'm all about that.

Maybe I'll organize a watch party for the 3rd event before moat fights 4 goes down in october

actually, yeah, I am a little mad
Watching multiple Moat Fights, I stumble on this old striking+grappling tournament from 1995 won by a certain Akihiro Gono:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEANyuDOzBg&t=402s
You should be able to pick him out by his style, since he's still got a full head of hair and looks a lot younger.
If you watch long enough, he's the guy who gets a banana split.

Half the tournament seems to be legit karate guys with varying experience in jiujitsu of some fashion.
Looks like a submission/tap is only worth points and isn't a sudden victory.

I rather like the recent changes to the Unified Rules of MMA. Theseshould be taking effect Jan. 1st.

quote:

Grounded fighter

Under the original rules, fighters could place a single finger tip in the ground to establish themselves as grounded, thereby avoiding legal kicks and knees to the head. Officials have long dubbed that "playing the game." It's no longer viable. Now, fighters must have both hands on the ground — either their palms or fists — to be considered grounded. As always, if a fighter's knee or any other part of the body except the hands and feet are touching the mat, then that fighter is also grounded.

Extended fingers

Eye pokes have been a topic of controversy lately. They are fight-ending, career-damaging illegal maneuvers. Under the original rules, referees could do nothing about it until it was too late and the poke was already landed. The new rules empower referees by making it a foul to extend your fingers outward toward an opponent's face, which could lead to an eye poke.

Previously, a referee could tell a fighter to close his or her hand, but the ref had no recourse — a point could not be taken. Now, it can be if a fighter continues to extend fingers in the direction of an opponent's face.

Anti-Japanese sentiment is very much alive in Korea, and when Misaki's win was overturned because Akiyama's glove was brushing the mat, I saw comments like "Shitpanese backstabbing weak girl ME-SUCKY is a cheater!!!" It was just the craziest thing.

I can tell that it's bad. But I can't tell why it is bad. What specifically is Punk doing wrong here.

To start with, he's winding up and telegraphing the punch which makes it ridiculously easy to avoid. It also leaves his chin wide open and an orthodox guy facing him could knock him the gently caress out with a left hook, which would be quite feasible since he is telegraphing the punch. He is also shifting his weight wayyyy forward and reaching for the punch, which means all the power in that uppercut is coming from his drat arm. Guys with really vicious uppercuts have them short and snappy and use the power in their legs to drive the punch upwards, Punk is swinging his loving arm like he has a bag of potatoes strapped to his boxing glove.



Mike's uppercut is short - he's not reaching. Look how his right leg drives through the punch where Punk has all his weight on the wrong leg

e: also never throw a power hand uppercut at range like that.. :ughh: everything about it is wrong

Wow, you're right, it's the same punch executed with skill



Differences: Duran didn't telegraph the punch, he closed the distance with his jab so he wasn't throwing it from a mile away, and he powered it with his rear leg (notice he ends up with his rear foot forward)

What's the USADA policy on caffeine? I have a friend who INSISTS that anything more than 2 cups a coffee isn't allowed/banned and that seems crazy to me. He says this is both in and out of completion which is certainly not true, but there can not be that strict regulations on caffeine leading up to a fight ...right?

Caffeine is tested in-competition but it isn't prohibited, it is part of the monitoring program.
