Old Schooler's Check this out!

[Tom Yum]

Remember the good old days of open style full-contact fighting? Style vs. Style. Not brawling but real skill with real contact? Sweeps allowed. Good fun.

Found this clip: Its an ITF TKD/Judo Stylist (long-haired korean guy) fighting a Kyokushin Karate guy (white guy).

Enjoy

That was pretty sweet. One thing that I always wonder about: why don't so many styles keep their hands up to protect getting kicked or whatever in the head? I know that in a lot of karate fighting rules you can't punch to the face, so that's not an issue, but it seems like it be handy to have your hands up for when a foot comes flying at your chin.

Maybe they're just too lazy or not strong enough to keep them up... j.k.

[BoarSpear]

i always figured that the hands were down because its easier to hide the kicks intent if the upper body isnt involved in the action, and since they dont punch the face, they favored the kicks and the hands down position enables the exotic kicks...

[THT]

That makes sense. It seems like they could also keep there hands up a bit more and even use them to sort of distract people and hide the kick too...
