Despite driving 2 hours to and from in the rain, I made it down to Birmingham yesterday for a knockdown karate tournament. It was a small tournament but there was some good action and I always enjoy seeing some good ole bare knuckle karate. Here's one of my students banging it out with his local rival the 3rd time (the previous two he won and this one, his opponent get's the decision). Wanted to share so you can hear and appreciate the sound of a low kick agains Gi pants (has a different sound than bare thigh) and appreciate bare handed fighting. It's raw and basic (of course I prefer Shidokan Knockdown rules to Kyokushin for a little clinch, throw, etc.). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AI2_jyiOlyw
