Ninomiya Kancho is a martial artist that I have a tremendous amount of respect for. It is evident in the quality of students of Enshin Karate and the legacy they are now carrying forward.Styles: shito ryu, kakutogi, kyokushinkai, muay thai.and more What I will say about some Sabaki events I have witnessed first hand is that some bad calls are made because of favorism towards the Enshin stylists. I've only personally witnessed one Sabaki event so far so I'm reserving judgement on whether that is true or not. In order to be considered as a contestant in the SABAKI CHALLENGE, an applicant must submit their Application, Fighter Questionnaire, Medical Certificate, Proof of Medical Insurance, Photograph, Videotape and Registration Fee no later than the application deadline.I suspect that in a Sabaki tournament match if neither fighter is knocked-down or if the match ends in a tie on points, then many of the judges might be more inclined to choose the fighter that they think used more Sabaki method than the other fighter, no matter how many kicks or punches the other fighter threw. #VEGAS SABAKI CHALLENGE NETA REGISTRATION# There will be a mandatory meeting for all fighters and judges held the evening before the SABAKI CHALLENGE. Attendance at this meeting is required, and must be considered when making arrangements for coming to the SABAKI CHALLENGE. There will be a weigh-in at the meeting the night before the tournament. Any fighter who exceeds the upper limit of his weight division will be penalized in the following manner: for each pound he is over the limit for his weight division, one point will be awarded to his opponent at the start of the match. This handicap will apply to the preliminary, quarter-final, semi-final and final rounds of the tournament.įighters are required to wear a mouthpiece and a groin cup. Hand or foot guards are not allowed to be worn. Taping the hands and feet is not permitted. All fighters must wear a karate gi (in good repair: with long pants, sleeves to the elbows, and belt). The quarter-final and semi-final and final matches will consist of one 6 minute round for adults 18 and over one 5 minute round for children/teens under 18. If the score at the end of the match is tied, the fighter with fewer penalties will be declared the winner. If both fighters have the same number of points and penalties, the match will go to a judges’ decision. In the event that the judge’s decision is tied and the referee calls a “draw,” then there will be a one minute overtime to decide the match. Hand or elbow strikes or head butts to the neck and face area are not permitted. Kicks and strikes to the groin are not permitted. All kicks to the legs and sweeps to the legs are allowed, with the exception of a direct blow to the front of the knee.Ī fighter may grab his opponent’s shoulder or gi (of arm or leg) for three seconds only while executing a technique. Hand must release hold after three seconds. A fighter may not encircle the opponent’s leg with one arm, or hold the leg up with two hands. When grabbing from the front with two hands, both hands must reach from the same side of the opponent’s body. Encircling the opponent’s neck or torso from the front with two hands to pull him into a technique is not permitted. (an optional division with newaza is now available) If both fighters are grabbing each other, creating a stalemate, the referee will break them apart immediately. Safety: childrens’ 12 and under can only engage in osaikomi (holding).Tradition: keeping the tradition of sabaki and the spirit of enshin.
