BlackI Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 I disagree... If done properly, I think it could be very effective. There could be takedowns, grappling, kicks, punches, elbows, and knees. No strikes to the groin, joints and back. Then all the people that beleive that one art is better then another would be able to see if this is true.

BlackI Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 No it doesn't have not. I have not see Karate tournament do grappling and standing at the same time. It is usually one or the other. Use some of boxing's rule in regard to points and knockouts and use the tapout rule for the mat work In search of the Temple of Light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackI Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 That's were you are wrong. I started competing when I was young and have attended all types of tournaments. Usually, it will be standing sparing or grappling. Now of course grappling always starts from a standing position and ends up on the mat, but the rules allow for that. Stand up fighting does not have rules for mat work, the whistle is blown and you come back to the line. Now tournments differ region to region, style to style. There might be some tourns that allow everything, but from my experience I see one or the other, never combined In search of the Temple of Light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobias_Reece Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 Considering any throw above the waist is illegal in karate competition, I doubt we'd see any. Besides - you can hit to the back in karate competition. "You Are Never Given A Dream Without Also Being Given The Power To Make It True.

Tobias_Reece Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 Oh, in the 'old' rules, you can't hold for more than 2 seconds. In the 'new' rules you can only grab in counter to a technique - plus it can't be a 'grab'. Confuses the hell out of me - but ZakariRu I have no idea what you are tlaking about.
