competitions in the traditional karate sphere, while it is inter style tournaments it has its set point and scoring system which can vary more or less from the dofferent styles own point and scoring rules. So in the heat of the beat one might make mistake.
Anyway in the traditional point tournament, some competitors go in for a full on strike or kick just to shake up and hope to intimidate their opponent, nothing anyone gott banned for back in the days.
The very first tournaments in sweden attracted Karatekas with anything from months to just a week or so training, boxers, wrestlers, hoodlums, ruffians.....
Those today oldtimers who were around back then recall the ambulance went shuttle between the tournament venue and hospital.
i should add, i didnt see the video if there is a video in the OP.
