they throw way too many head kicks without effectively landing any of them.
SABAKI MARTIAL ARTS FULL
Despite so many full power reverse punches landing on the body, i never saw anyone go down or appear to be significantly hurt by the attacks (this is a perfect example of why I am suspicious about any karate black belt who thinks he can bring an opponent down immediately with one reverse punch to the solar plexus). The majority of the matches i saw with the Enshin guys simply consisted of several rounds of walking straight into each other, grabbing gis and punching each other in the chest repeatedly.
They seem to always be throwing straight punches aimed at the midsection, solar plexus, etc. As per usual among Japanese karate styles, the Enshin guys' punches are way too predictable. The way those guys position their bodies doesn't properly prepare them for taking a good headshot at all. In one of the videos I saw a little japanese Enshin guy whose technique was looking pretty good under the rules, but the second his opponent accidentally tapped him in the jaw with a straight punch he cringed away holding his jaw like a fool who has never taken a punch before. First of all, they don't allow head punches in their competition.
To me it seems like a poor attempt to create full contact traditional karate. From what I've seen, I'm not too impressed.įirst of all let me say that I know next to nothing about the finer points of Enshin Karate, but i've seen some Sabaki Challenge tapes so i'm basing my opinion of the style simply from seeing it in action.
