Publisher: Kodansha International

By ukulelekuni, May 9, 2013 They waved off a lot of techniques. Lol, that video you mentioned is fighting the same rules, one touch point fighting…those flash knockouts shown in the video probably got them disqualified. GoJu Ryu Karate incorporates close combat fighting skills and Aiki Jitsu techniques. This is the same when you are to close to one another. The Shushin and Go to Germany, Brazil, The Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Argentina, Colombia, The U.S & The U.K, and you will see REAL Karate-Do Kumite with CLEAN strikes, sweeps, & throws at FULL POWER. The following concepts are particularly useful in developing one's kumite. Though when the distance is to wide, if you want to throw your opponent, he can pull you backwards easily and you can not make a proper technique anymore. A full implementation of weapons will be taught after practitioners master the art of empty hand katas. All children are taught the sport aspect of Karate. Ma-ai ( ~ distance) Ma-ai is a bit hard to explain, especially in the unarmed fight. The distance between two persons as in judo is very small.
