Olympic Karate KO Results in DQ, Gold Medal for KO’d Opponent

you know what's good about that too if you're ever in a real altercation You're used to people resisting a hundred percent Cuz like if you're like a karate guy and you like point touching each other It was unbelievable By not he wins how do you feel proud? How do you feel proud you get knocked out? Yeah, and the gold medal matchup and you win the gold and the other guys disqualified Is disqualified for hitting you too hard and here's the thing was fucked up It's like it's not like he was standing there He kind of leaned in to the kick like he bent over and the dude caught him So it's kind of on you a little bit, too Yeah, let's watch it. Let's watch it cuz it's so dumb and I didn't a friend of mine sent that to me and Look at this look he he bends over yeah And to be honest as a counter the guy throws a straight left. He counters with the kick catches him Hit him then he's just fake sleeping. Oh, he's out of here dude. He's sleeping. Oh He thought he won too boy. Yeah, well he should have won in a real-world scenario and any other Rational sport that's a combat sport he won That's the problem with like Olympic combat sports is they try to take the violence out of it But what doesn't make any sense is you could win by knockout and talk one doe oh, I didn't know that it's in the same thing ah It's in the Olympics to like why? Why do you specifically why what is the different? Why do you have karate and taekwondo? Yeah, the only difference is your vote you're allowed to punch in the face in this and I guess a point karate Zodiac is kumite. I don't know I don't know though. I'm a tay is the Japanese word for sparring Hmm, yeah, that doesn't make sense. I just heard someone saying it well. I was watching I think that's the word for sparring I think that's what I mean I mean they got all the different types of swimming So I guess you're gonna have all the different types of martial arts you know You guys do things to stack the medals right like if you're good at some shit like America We're good at running, so we're just gonna look at 400 kilogram kumite final. Yeah, so dumb yeah Ridiculous oh they also they have Individual demonstrations like kata, and then they have one-on-one kumite. That's the most ridiculous one I'm not trying to shoot on this guy probably kick my ass, but the guy won a gold medal for dancing getting KO Yeah for the kata for the kata yeah, but it was just choreography well you can win for gymnastics Yeah, but gymnastics isn't a fight Like I see martial arts as you know this is fighting right in order to be good at it You have to be able to do that shit on someone the kata thing is like you would have to learn those to get your Belts like you'd have a kata for one specific one you had for blue belt a specific one you had for green belt I remember when I did taekwondo as a kid we had that yeah, yeah, and all that yeah I hated those what the taekwondo this stuff right yeah the forms Pumseh He won the first ever karate medal in men's kata the first ever for America or the first ever time they handed it out My god, this is so ridiculous yeah the intensity Yeah, the thing is like it's not a bad thing to practice movement Like it's almost like kind of like a form of yoga in a way Like you're practicing moving your body, and if you get really good at doing those katas it'll probably Enhance your ability to move which will enhance your ability to spar But you're not giving anybody a medal for shadow boxing good fucking point that'd be ridiculous good fucking Imagine you walk around I'm a box and gold medalist a gold medal for shadow boxing or hitting the cobra bag a Bag work gold The bag where gold medal be better and then this is we can at least see something land air kicks Yeah, you know this poor guy just got back to America with his gold medal We're just the guy want he was they were going against each other though.
