Before modern karate adopted strict safety rules, fighters stepped onto the tatami with almost no protection—and every match could end in a devastating knockout. Travel back to the brutal era of 1980s Kyokushin Karate and witness legendary battles featuring Andy Hug, Francisco Filho, Ademir da Costa, Norichika Tsukamoto, Ewerton Teixeira, and more. Discover how full-contact karate forged some of the toughest martial artists in history, why the rules eventually changed, and what made this unforgettable era unlike anything seen in combat sports today. If you enjoy martial arts documentaries, Kyokushin Karate, MMA history, kickboxing, Muay Thai, and legendary fighters, this is a chapter you won't want to miss. Before Karate Became Safe...
