Check this out, this is pretty good stuff, note the muay thai influence, I think out of necessity than these guys cross training in MT. anwyays pretty good techniques etc IMO
smash hard and fast?Kudo is awesome! Brutal to watch sometimes, they just go full on. Anyone know what the ruleset is, and what the duration of rounds are?

Yeah that's exactly what I figured. Thanks for the info.You can see the basic ruleset here:
http://www.kudoindia.org/rules.htm
The duration is 3min. There is only 1 round. If there isn't a clear winner - there are extensions until a winner is decided. This is why Kudo matches are very aggressive. The ruleset rewards aggressiveness so most kudo fighters are great aggressive pressure fighters but not so good at defensive fighting.
Sparring can be brutal at times as well because of the competition ruleset. We spar in kudo gloves that are just under 4oz - thing is the helmet you're wearing only protects from bruises/cuts. You're still getting smacked in the head - because of the ruleset - sparring tends to be less measured, more aggressive and because people feel safe wearing the helmet contact is a lot harder than it should be imo.
In other words mmaThe MT stuff in Kudo is mainly basic clinching work, elbows & knees. You're right it's not pure MT - it's MT that's been adapted for the Kudo format.
...
There are positives and negatives with training Kudo though.
"Let Me Osu Bro"Since the karatekas are gathered here, i'll take the opportunity to ask something else: I'm looking for a specific karate style. What I remember about it, but not 100% sure for all the details:
-Europe/france based (I think)
-Fighting without the top of the kimono (sure)
-Elbow pads (sure)
-MMA type of gloves (almost sure)
-Fighters had blue/red belts (almost sure)
-Take downs and submission allowed (I think)
-Was posted in sharedog a while back (sure)
It looked a lot like MMA, without the g'n'p (I think), and not in a cage obviously...

Kudo is the competition system of Daido juku (although now the names are used interchangeably sometimes), a kyokushin+judo hybrid style created in the late 70 -early 80ies. The rule system was originally created for kyokushin, but it was decided the knockdown rules had already become to entrenched internationally to change, so the creator of the rules asked for and was granted, permission to leave and found his own style. Originally formally a karate style, they branded themselves a new art (also called kudo) about a decade ago. They still use the name karate where and when it suits them, though.
Over time, BJJ and MT and other fightsports has had its influences, but the core is still basically kyokushin and judo (with oldschool newaza).
The rules are basically heavily modified knockdown karate rules.
The fight last 3 min. If there are no winner you get up to two extensions for 3 min a piece.
You can do 2 attempts at grappling submissions for up to 30 seconds each.
You have 4 levels of points. The highest is Ippon (basically a KO or submission) -instant win, then you got 2 levels for momentarily stuns wazari and (dont remember the name), then the lowest score (dont remember the name for this either) are given for simulated attacks on a downed opponent, or for a throw.
One instance of a higher lever score is better an any amount of lower level scores, But if the two fighters have for instance , one wazari each, then the lower level points are tiebreakers.
You are allowed to strike to the opponents groin if you fulfil a condition based on height and weight ratio that never really made any sense to me.
I’d want to make fun of them for their crazy space helmets but those dudes are legitimately badass
Since the Karatekas here are, as expected, completely useless, I'll answer my self. (Honestly guys, if you spend less time doing katas, and more time helping people, the world would be a better place...)
On a real note - I couldn't remember myself what it was called lol.
Believe it or not - those space helmets are extremely difficult to breathe in and fog up a lot. When I first started sparring in them I could barely spar for 3mins because of lack of oxygen. Sparring in that helmet for long enough would probably do wonders to cardio & anaerobic endurance (I've felt some benefits).
That said they are crazy space helmets. But if it means going home without looking like I've been gang-banged for 30mins. I'll take the crazy helmet any day lol.
Why not just use classic boxing / kickboxing headgear? I dont get the bonus from having a plastic shield in front of my face. Its not fencing.
If its about cuts and bruises this should be enough and you can change between high protection Level (Winning) or just against cuts ( standard AIBA)

It' was not a Karate style, but a karate tournament. (probably lasted a couple of years) can't find info pass 2012:
It had no submission, but g'n'p allowed for 5 secs and not to the head. And not all kinds of takedowns are allowed. It was called Karate pro fight:
