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.

Говно стало на очки ,лёгкая игровая форма спаринга ,за жесткий контакт дисквалификация
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
Old school!!! Love it!!!
Pat Smith was one of the Karate goats love his kicks it was so awesome seeing him fight in the old UFC
I thought it was him! Thx for the confirmation. Ps : Im old school too :)
I was thinking "that looks like Pat Smith". RIP.
Some of those spinning back kicks were fantastic
This is the old school stuff I grew up watching It’s gone
Golden era of Karate
Full contact karate with throws is the most entertaining combat sport to watch imo
What respect at the end
The legend of Kyokushin OSU!
Yo karate is real,it should be out front on television!
War machine ❤
this is literally the intro to bloodsport
Шикарные кадры!!
Now those were the Tournaments I remember! 👊🏽
Dude @1:20 is Patrick Smith. Fought in the first UFC lost to Ken Shamrock
слов нет, настоящие бойцы
I am from the old school days of Karateka, I miss them dearly, no equipment.
The good old days 🔥🔥🔥
Rzeczywiscie sztuka zwyciezania!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Skutecznosc!!!!!!!!!Marek.
Awesome video! Make me wanna start training again.
The origins of low kick knockouts 😊
Gives me those best of the best vibes.
Theses guys (all American) weren’t even considered the best. Yet, they were well trained and karate back then was actual karate.
this not actual karate stoner
Nice throw back ❤
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
Totalmente de acuerdo. Llevo 30 años estudiando karate Shotokan y lo de ahora es cada vez más karatito
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.
Refreshing to see real karate, after watching way too much karate combat I began to think karate was just wild haymakers!!
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.
what haymakers? what fights were you watching??
This is Kyokushin...They keep fighting like this.
@@batmanonholiday4477dude it's sad to watch KC.
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.
В 90-е мы все хотели быть такими😮
Яркое было время!Тяжёлое,голодное.Но яркое.Что в спорте,что в музыке.
Я был им😂
Some of those hiza geri's to the head were devastating. Their unborn children felt those. Osu!!
Damn. The old school folks weren't messing around 😱
It's like the season two arc of some anime.
I remember it well!
To the true karatekas🙇🏾♂️
the ref wore a suit and tie hahah
SABAKI CHALLNGE! I'VE WATCHED ALL OF THEM AND GOT THEM ON VHS....GREAT BOUTS!
Simply Kyokushinkai.
Back when brain damage didn't exist.
Amaizing. hank you for this
The sabaki challenge days🔥🔥
Apart from head punching but not body punching, some elements of the clinch and ground fighting, these guys were awesome and prove old school karate was a totally different animal to what is taught in the dojos of today,
Shotokan karate is the shit!!!
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!
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 .
Oss 🥋
The real blood sport.
There were some pretty good throws in there
Love it
What so old school about it. I started karate in the early 1960s when Gogen Yamaguchi and Mas Oyama were still alive.
Yeah well Shidoshi Tanaka trained me.
Pat Smith…early UFC killer
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.
That’s some good ‘ol fashion Eagle Fang Karate right there!
Man, what I would have given to be a part of this back then.
Good Ole Days!!!…..My mind still has the moves of a 20year old but my body reminds me I’m 59😂😂😂
I respect and admire this karate...OSS!!!!
Du vrai Karaté old school 🥋
Hermoso ✌️
Brutal.
So basically it's kyokushin?
These karate warriors are tremendous! Wich style or styles are featured in this video?
I see a young Pat Smith in there, before his days in the UFC and K-1
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...
What do you mean by this? That they would win in a fight against a top MMA fighter?? 😂😂😂
@@parislisbon8187 No. That's not what he meant.
That's the karate I grew up on
lol. love the music.
Oss🥋
1:51 I never saw that spinning wheel kick coming. My god.
Man that was smooth.
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.
@@aspenrebel You know, I looked at it again, and you are right! Once again, I end up with egg on my face from trying to be smart. 🤣🤣🤣
@@blockmasterscott thank you!! Not bad for an old guy, eh?😁
Neither did the other guy
It looks good. It looked like a way of fighting you had to master, and you felt it gave you a superpower, in a way,
Karatê is so cool!!! ❤❤❤
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.
The song for this video is AWESOME! So is the footage! What is this song?
Was that Nyominya at 1:50 minute, the founder of Enshin karate?
Ah, yes, the good ole days of Light Contact.... Miss them days
What music is this? Sounds awesome! Any artist or track name?
It's Kyokushin karate. Still like that today (except the judo throws).
Those who know, know! Every era had its style that was dominate until the next fad came along.
