These 3 Italian girls are talented. Congratulations to win the second prize. I hope they will keep practicing KaTa.
To learn the authentic Karate, it is important to focus on not just athleticism of Karate but also the spirit of Karate, Japan should send more good mentors (not coaches or instructors) to other countries. Like those 3 Italian girls are deserved to learn it from the best Karate master. (from Japan)

You ask me, the Japanese won this. Their Kata was more energetic and precise, and their fighting much more believeable

[SanjanaChoudhary-ofux]

Not only their kata was synchronized but their breaths too, the best thing i watched today on youtube 😮

[Rondadoreronda]

Italian fighters are so cute and cool! ^^
Japanese are so powerful and speedy!

[sSoFar]

Better Italy or Japan?
Both, guys, both!
It's a final and it doesn't matter who is the winner: there are two teams over the rest of the world.
They ALL are the best.
That's it!

Yes, Japan won, and they deserved to. But this demonstration was excellent, and the team should be proud! This shows why you must be world class to even be in this competition.

Kururunfa (久留頓破) (performed by the Japanese Team) is Goju-Ryu (剛柔流); while the Italian Team performed Annan (安南) which is Okinawan Ryuei-Ryu (劉衛流).

Bellos recuerdos de mi paso por el Karate, sus Katas y mis queridos Maestros Patricio y Pedro.Gracias por todo este camino, que de alguna forma me abrió las puertas del camino espiritual.
Mayor logro, cinturón Verde

the Japanese show real fighting towards the other female on their team but Italy didn't show tht much energy punches...I guess the judges were looking for something tht shows they have a strong energy and impressive good form :3 in my calculations

[JUUIGDWEZX]

After watching this i need a Big Mac from McDonalds

[DraHar]

Hmmm, there's not comparison, those japanese girls were simply excellent: energy, speed, though, execution and the bunkai was superb. No offense for the italian team, for i'm italian too. 

[toqtoq]

The waiting posture of the Japanese team is wonderful.

[AntonioMontanaC]

My 2 cent, Italy had more complex forms; Japanese execution was flawless however, considerably more explosive too.
Deserved

[hounoNotenshi]

For me, a good bunkai should have all three perform the kata part. Not just one person doing defense, it should have rotation like what the Japan team did. Kudos to both teams! Well done.

Such a close call I bet!! What astonishing performances, kicks were out of this world! Especially the jump spin followed by the sweep! 6:03
