Kancho Kenneth Yoshinobu Funakoshi, founder of the Funakoshi Shotokan Karate Association is fourth cousin to Master Gichin Funakoshi – the founder of Modern Shotokan. Kancho Funakoshi moved to San Jose, California to teach karate in December 1986. In 1987, the non-political Funakoshi Shotokan Karate Association was founded with its world headquarters now in Milpitas, CA and affiliates throughout the United States, Mexico, Europe, Africa, Middle East and South America. FSKA was incorporated in 2003 in the state of California. Corporate officers were Kancho Kenneth Funakoshi, Shihan Kyle Funakoshi and Mrs. Theresa Funakoshi … Please click [here] to learn more about FSKA.
FSKA is a non-political organization. Each dojo affiliates directly with Shihan Kyle Funakoshi – we do not have regional directors. The reason for this is to eliminate political structures. Should you decide to affiliate with FSKA, you would deal directly with Shihan Kyle Funakoshi. FSKA recognizes your current rank if issued by a recognized organization. However, once you become an FSKA affiliate, you will need to meet FSKA requirements for future ranking. After affiliation, then a technical support feature via whatsapp messenger is available to ask questions about any technical matters (kihon, kata, kumite, etc) with Shihan Kyle Funakoshi. The video feature enables interaction and learning despite affiliates being overseas. Contact FSKA Executive Secretary, Jan Homer to learn more.

Karate Is a copy of Shaolin kung fu.
To me it looks like wazari on the Jodan punch. Other person was moving in and his chudan punch was too close for full execution.
He caught him with a back fist coming in..not clean full point but nice 1/2 point for catching him on his toes..🙂..looking sharp🙏🌺
I believe the kizami tsuki got there first but even if it didn't the gyaku tsuki was not on proper distance to fully execute the technique
Looks as though kizami got there quicker with proper distance and kime.

Love seeing these! More please
No Mirror Judge?
From my perspective, and according to FSKA rules, I saw what was obviously a good chudan mawashi geri, but the judge had no way of seeing it, although he had to hear the contact.
Mawashi Geri Both Karateka look really good
Wazari two points from viewers point, but not from head judge as he can't see the kick landing.
No point for the kick since the back / spine is not a target area
Technically it would be ippon do to out of balance by the lower kick but it’s only my opinion 😜
no point he kick him in the back there are no points to the back of the body
Chudan Mawashi Geri, Waza Ari
Clear point was of Mawashi-geri
Wazari
Oss
