Trick wrote:Traditionally karate guard in fighting competition is held low the forearms aligned so that fists point directly toward opponent similar to the old boxing arm/fist position, however the leg stance is often longer than the old boxer stance. The distance is also longer between the karate combatants when squaring off than in modern boxing since usually a single strike is decisive....one can’t afford trading punches..”
Trick wrote:traditional’ karate competition fighting relay mainly on timing and distance awareness and not so much on physical power, maybe this focus comes from fighting without gloves ? (No! Some will say it’s because Karate competition is fought in semincontact )
yes. however they may clinch pretty soon and stand head to head trading punches, probably more common with the heavier weight classes ?..........for some reason these days on Baidu show a lot of video clips of mike tyson fights , those clips show exactly what i meanNo. Boxers start by touching gloves and going back to their respective corners. When the bell rings, they come out of their corners and start fighting, as shown in the video above.
since i was into shorokan karate, so i refere mostly to that and its spesific competition fighting. semi contact is what the rule are and to the face/head it is supposed to be skin contact, foot/leg sweeps are full on...Yes i pointed out in the other post that the specific rule set may effect how one hold the guardMany karate competitions stop/start after a point is scored and contact to the face is illegal. Karate rules can effect guard/stances and strategies
