I also prefer to watch Kudo over UFC and if given the opportunity to train and spar in one fashion or the other between MMA and Daido Juku, I would easily choose Daido Juku. I think both combat sports are badass but I like Daido Juku/Kudo better since it allows a fuller range of combat skills while still being relatively safe compared to other combat sports that are more limiting and (ironically) less safe. In a heated exchange that person may absent mindedly forget the rules and go back to "Sock you in ya face" mode and next thing you know the other person has a shiner or missing teeth or broken jaw or broken nose or the mother of all gashes on his face or all of the above. Especially if you are fighting someone who normally trains and is used to face punching. Although face punches are not allowed shit happens. No face punching allowed (I know it's a pro AND a con. Someone can end up with their neck broken with that stuff Many of the competitors are not adequately trained in Judo Nage waza and because of that I have witnessed some incorrect and partial throws that made me nervous as hell to look at. The Helmet tends to make an aggressive fighter a little too aggressive to the point he's somewhat reckless and gives little no thought or effort to defense Alot of times the matches resemble an outright street brawl (again, a pro to me) Time limit on the ground (Yes, this is a pro in my book :icon_chee ) Space helmet to keep the participants' faces intact I'm sure we'd all agree that each has it's pro's and it's con's. So from THAT aforementioned perspective I'd say that Kudo is a little better than The Sabaki Challenge when the pro's of each are weighed against the con's of each. But I am more speaking from the perspective of the combatants who participate in the two fighting styles/competitions. Sorry, long rant on minor technicalities.Ĭlick to expand.From strictly a spectator sport POV I agree with you. In kyokushin you can get half a point for a sweep with follow-up, but since you are not allowed to grab the opponent, throwing is hard (and I have never actually SEEN a sweep with follow-up getting rewarded with a point score, even if it is in the rules). Enshin took the concept and made it more messy by having the win at 7 points, with knockdowns scoring 4 points and sweeps scoring 1 point, and a good throw(with follow-up) scoring 3 points (and 2 points without followup) -or something like that, I forget the specifics.īasically both are just minor variations of kyokushin (which both the founder of ashihara, and his student who would later found Enshin, trained together until 1980) with one handed grabs allowed, and throws scored for. Enshin Sabaki allows a bit longer grab-hold than Ashihara.Įnshin sticks to the halfpoints/fullpoint system from kyokushin (with a full point = win, and a good throw with followup scored as a half point). There is not really that much difference between the two rulesets used in the two styles. Here is a Enshin karate Sabaki challenge in EuropeĪshihara karate (from which enshin splintered out, back in 1988) has its own Sabaki tournaments.Īlthough they do not call it Sabaki challenge since a few years, as it has developed into the world Sabaki championship Click to expand.You are thinking of the sabaki challenge arranged by Enshin karate in Denver (and it is still going, but it is not as big as it once were).īut it is no longer the only enshin karate "sabaki Challenge".
