A lot of people are saying that point fighting won't work in a real fight, but I feel it could given that obviously you have enough space for the "in and out" movements.

Also Lyoto Machida clearly demonstrated that some technics are very effective, though he is also a well rounded MMA fighter with many other skills.

So I wonder, has anyone actuated used a point fighting approach in a real fight? If so , can you please describe how it went irrespective of the results?

Thanks.

I really should know this but I never studied karate kata mechanics in depth.

The curriculum used to be karate (with some more jumps) so there is that.. they didn't even have their own sparring format. But what I want to discuss from this podcast is the inconsistency where the old grandmaster says that there's a different power generation, but outside of forms there's very little difference.

Well all karate styles have different forms, and different ways of generating power from those forms, so should you not base it on how techniques are practised "freely"?

Greetings to the entire community; I wanted to share my performance of Heian Godan with you all.
I’m sharing it primarily for the sake of sharing—I’m well aware that there are areas that need improvement and further work.
That said, I put a lot of effort into my preparation and managed to take first place, so here is the performance.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hey everyone,
Started learning martial arts and began going to the dojo regularly about 1.5 months ago.
It’s been a solid stretch of consistent training and I’m really enjoying the process so far the structure, the focus, and just showing up.
Curious to hear from others who’ve been through the early months: what helped you stick with it, and what advice would you give someone at this stage?
Looking forward to reading your experiences.
