    The rules including use of grabs (one handed), sweeps and throws, in addition to kicks, punches, knees and other strikes. It is full contact karate with no gloves. Only striking to the head is restricted, but full power kicks to the head, neck and face are allowed.
    In the late 80s (early 90s) it was a very popular tournament.

      It did, I would say there were tournaments up to like 2010 that were softer than this but harder than what it is today. I did TKD back in 98-99 and I do like TKD but they went softer than Karate did. Karate really didn't get super weak till 2011ish plus.
      In Japan, and Brazil they still do it hard. Doubt you'll find many places in America or Europe that goes that hard though, maybe the Netherlands/Dutch. Since they love Kickboxing. Mikes Gym, go hard will doing Kickboxing Training.

      Snore fest is to you because it is a game of timing, speed and moment... Not everyone can get intelligent and tactical sports like WKF karate. Maybe if you read the rules and the criteria for a point, you'll get it... MAYBE.
      Ofc it has its downsides - light contact to the head, a lot of sneaking, the game is too dependent on the judges. But full contact to the head will make almost every fight finish early because of the criteria for acquiring a point.

    Fun fact, these types of tournaments still exist today. This is Enshin karate, which derives from the more popular Kyokushin karate, as does Ashihara karate which is similar also. These are knockdown rule karate fights, punches to the body, kicks to the body, legs and head, knees to the head body and legs as well. They do not punch or elbow to the face, and it's hard to find a universally recognized reason for that, but the general consensus i've seen is that people say punching and elbowing to the face would make it too brutal. Personally I'd love if Kyokushin/Enshin/Ashihara karate would go ahead and put gloves on and start doing punches to the head. That said, I have the utmost respect for Kyokushi/Enshin/Ashihara karatekas, they're tough son of a bitches, i've done some fights with these rules and they're very intense and the body shots are potent as hell, I have a heavy background in Isshinryu Karate and loved training with the Kyokushin guys. If you want to see karate fights with more modern type rules, check out Karate Combat on youtube. Also worth checking out the style "Kudo Daido Juku", which from my understanding, is a more modern japanese MMA style heavily consisting of karate kickboxing and judo.

      I do both ashihara and kyokushin karate, and basically while you don't have gloves on it would be very "violent" to have such tournament rules as permissible punches to the face. It would be almost real street fight :D But there are some categories in big tournaments they call them "full contact", allowing face punches but with gloves and helmet on as in Kudo.

    I have been in martial arts since 1973. Honestly, we were not all fighting full contact with no safety gear. I have seen so many martial artists come and go, largely due to injuries. You really cannot take a full force shin kick to the head and not have it affect you for a long time or forever. Even a few broken ribs will put you out of commission for six months to a year and most folks don't return for more abuse and injury. From all the serious damage I have seen even from controlled fights, I don't condone heavy contact fighting with or without safety gear. It just is not worth the long term damage it does. Badass isn't really very cool if you can't ride the rides at Six-Flags with your son because of a concussion you received "back in the day"

      The bosses did not pay wages for six months, sneering at the workers that they would not find another job anyway. Instead of money, people dragged self-made furniture from factories to barter things for food with their neighbors.
      Dozens of narcomaniacs and alcoholics were lying everywhere right in snowdrifts and in front of house entrances, dying in back alleys and attacking passers-by in the streets.
      The police (then still "the militia") could simply kidnap a man at the behest of local crooks and beat him in the basement. Entire departments were blackmailed or bribed by criminals - or turned into armed gangs of their own. In the general chaos, police officers also went months without being paid. Guns were sometimes not taken away from those dismissed, orders contradicted each other and got lost along the way.
      And the oligarchs who were able to rise on the back of this horror - they could simply drive into a restaurant in a limousine and shoot the customers for fun. The next day, TV was already praising them as new parliamentarians, and their accusers disappeared.
      "Nineties" is a swear word here, politicians remind about them in contrast, to show that now we live quite well) And you remember that everyone was rich....
      But there are small reasons for nostalgia. Free-thinking, no one controlled daring musicians and comedians... So music was awesome, too) And drunken orgies everywhere. People reveled in sex after the end of decades of mandatory ideology and strict morality. Everyone tried to emulate the famous American nightlife and European hedonism from movies and racy travel stories... Especially universities were a horny mess. But other than that - no, no more 90s, please)

      how would you compare this to muy-thai we have today?
      I do BJJ and i see some of the takedowns in this video and they look brutal as fuck.
      BJJ is legendary for its shitty takedowns, its basically just a little better than aikido.
      "first do this, then do that". If it takes more than 2 or 3 big movements its usually bullshit.
      There is a reason many just start on the ground, and its because the takedowns suck
      I hate it when my gym teaches these kind of low percentage stuff. They think they have to teach a new takedown or move every fucking week instead on focusing on single leg, double legs, back take or high rate submissions. That's it. Get good at a set of moves that are high percentage rather than 50 that you suck at.

      When you say „karate-blocks don’t work“ which blocking techniques do you mean?
      If you’re referring to age-uke (jodan-uke) or Soto-uke (chudan-uke), then yes, they don’t work in a real fight, but they’re not really meant to. In a real gibt, nobody throws a single punch and then blocks singularly. The traditional ways of blocking are just there to learn the form. I regular spar with MMA-guys, and my modernised version of Karate somewhat holds up against these guys. But not Kata or Kihon, they are meant for training, not for actual free fighting.
