Why are WKF karatekas so much faster in kumite than JKA?

[sensei8]

World level...national level...why can't they just be what they are...Karateka's, without labels and such?! Perhaps, this dividing rod will remain unsolved between both groups...or perhaps not!! Not everyone...not every Karateka can win; there must always be a loser too. However, just because someone has lost, is that core of the Karateka empty...without value? If so, then that Sensei, does he/she too lack value, and perhaps, the style is of little to no value as well?!.

Whether it's about rank or medals, those should be of very little concern to any Karateka. Nonetheless, I suppose that we're speaking about sport karate, whereas, medals and the like are everything.

After all, and for example, the New York Yankees have won more World Series Championships, 27, than any other MLB team, and with that as an argument for a Yankee fan, the Yankees are the better team overall, even though they've not won a WS since 2009, yet, they're both loved and hated around the world. Yes, the Yankee parable is crude, at best, it's just that the value of something shouldn't lie within crude accolades adorning walls and/or necks, but within the Karateka itself.

Imho!!
