The amount of times I looked up ITf vs Karate sparring/competition back in the day is insane

[lilbearbjj]

TKD Uncle still getting it in. Love to see it

[retroghidora]

It's actually pretty cool seeing some ITF vs WKF style sparring

[Docinaplane]

The karate here is so different than it was back in the day when they stood in a more forward facing stance and used hands 75% of the time and blitzed straight through the opponent.

[Brainwashed]

Jabbing from the bladed stance isn't hard; plenty of boxers actually fight pretty bladed. I think the rulesets and training methodologies of ITF TKD and point karate discourage jabbing.

[ivanyardin]

Would love to see a traditional Okinawan karateka in the ring. Not someone who jumps around like a modern sports karateka or like a kickboxer...

[VLADIMIRISH]

In ITF TKD is not allowed to grap someone during the fight.

[JrKinabalu]

So what are the rule set here? If it is kickboxing or mma, whoever use the advantages of the rule can actually dominate the fight

[ComicusFreemanius]

Jabs don't have more power than a backfist in a bladed stance. The ending of the jab will naturally throw you into a bladed stance though as you pull the opposite shoulder back, Like circling off center.

[seka]

Nice video, next video with wtf taekwondo

[googleisacruelmistress]

I'm pretty sure the first guy wasn't jabbing because the Karate guy was clearly baiting a jab and he didn't want to play into his game

[intricate]

im a boxer and my stance is a little bit more bladed than the normal stance but I can tell jabbing feels better when bladed

[theitfguy]

They should alternate rounds for rule sets. Rather then rule set being point stop the entire time. Perhaps 1 round point stop, another round 2-3 minutes continuous, taking them both out of their comfort zones.

[daltonsasse]

When you are super bladed you have to kinda turn your shoulder to jab properly, better off throwing a backfist if you are gonna stay bladed like that

[DarkWlverine]

Point fighting is just so lame. You learn almost nothing doing it & develop bad habits. As well as wrong fighting instincts

[mikeyork]

I do ITF, boxing and BJJ and I use to do Shotokan Karate (point style kumuite), just seems to me like these guys have no idea how to fight against each other styles in thies video.

[Brykk]

I cant stand point fighting. It teaches and trains for failure for any type of real world self defense or fighting.

[BD..]

Train point fighting and all you can do is pointless point fighting

[mikentukai]

ITF guy is just wearing fake black belt, , even WKF guy is using TKD Kicks to attack him
