How goes the training bros?
Im workshopping a crescent kick -> sideswing combo. Just learned how to do a roundhouse with my front foot and it is incredibly awkward. I also keep dropping my arms or raising them too high like a muay thai fighter when sparring.
Im thinking of trying resistance training in the water now that it is summertime. Any tips for that?
Remember you must never use it unless you know how to incapacitate without evidence.

I tried watching some Karate matches from a bunch of different years and still don't fully understand the rules.
Seems like it's fencing where all you have to do is tag the opponent with a clean strike regardless of how hard it hits
Was also surprised to see in a match where a fighter got fouled for "too much contact" which seemed strange to me since iirc Karate had grabs

It wasnt designed for tournaments so thats probably why the rules are fucky. Its about control of the body and ending a conflict as quick as you possibly can, and most people dont want to legitimately hurt other practicioners of the art. If its a thing of too much contact thats probably like in boxing when they hug eachother and the ref breaks it up.
It doesnt film well, but from what ive seen in my own real life experiences it is positive in a shitton of ways.

As far as points karate goes, there's 2 main orgs with different rulesets: JKA and WKF. Both are gay, but the WKF rules are gayer. WKF was the ruleset used in the Olympics, where the guy who got knocked the fuck out out was the one who won gold. JKA isn't full contact, but seems to allow incidental knockdowns at least.
