Knockdown Karate

Want to see how tough you are? Try full contact, knockdown (aka bare knuckle) Karate competiton. It is as intense as it can get. There so many different kinds of stand up competiton for fighters to do. There's boxing, kickboxing, muay thai, etc. I know thai kickboxers and MMA fighters who want no parts of knockdown karate. I just got back from the World Oyama Karate Championships in in Birmingham AL (5/4/13). I was fortunate some great fights. The fights weren't determined by who had the prettiest technique or even the best cardio. It boiled down to heart and determination. The fighter who could take the pain and stay strong mentally during bone on bone contact is what's important. Here are a few of the matches I recorded on my phone.
