Dear All, first I'd like to thank you for watching this video so many times. I'll be doing my best in the future as well to bring you the best ippon shobu fights. Secondly: I kindly ask you to think, before you comment. This fight might not be the most spectacular battle, but still: it's the final of the JKA World Championships. These 2 gentlemen were the best of the best on that given day - how many of us could have made it? Don't like what you see? Let's ALL work harder to put ippon shobu back to it's place! WKF and athletic karate has it's own importance, but forgetting about traditional karate values will result the end of Budo Karate as we know it today. Ready for the task? Start with 500 gyaku zukis on your makiwara today and remember: "Respect each other" :)
