19th Annual Kyokushin Tournament
I recently had my first fight at the 19th Annual Kyokushin Karate Tournament on October 10th, 2009. Because MMA is still illegal in NYS, the fight was held under different rules:
- Round 1: Bare-knuckle Knockdown Karate
- Round 2: San Shou Kickboxing
- Round 3: Submission Grappling
My opponent was Chuck Mady. He’s been fighting MMA for a few years now and fights professionally for King of the Cage Canada. Quite a bit of an experience gap between the two of us but it was a great taste of what to expect. Here’s the YouTube video of it:
