Why don't fighters use karate chops?

[rearnakedchoke]

They are trying to beat their opponent. Not kill them.

Why not just use EFO? How can you lose a fight if the other guy can barely touch you?

I see your nonsense and raise you Dim Mak!

 

[Judge Lance Ito]

I've also wondered why no one ever uses that backlock thing that the cops use and no-one can get out of it.

 

[OverCoronavirus Pressure]

Because karate chops are only effective on 60's teevee bad guys

I have wondered the same thing. I've known how deadly it is since Star Trek.

In fact Star Trek employed the chop all the time and every character who used it was very effective. One chop knockouts every time.

I think you'd be surprised. There are some ruthless fighters out there. Look at Palhares. And imagine having the power of someone like Carwin. Man it must feel good to have that power and beat someones face in.

Might be illegal

The only useful karate chop is to the throat. That's deadly force. Of course it's illegal in MMA.

 

[Summoning]

I'm think this would be especially effective for ground and pound. It'd be so easy to land even from the bottom position. It doesn't require any wind up and comes at a difficult angle to defend.

At 50 seconds:

Master Seagal teach that technique to Machida..
