• Keep the non-punching hand covering the head
• Don't swing big/wide
• Tuck your chin, look thru your eyebrows
• Punch with a rhythm. Think speed, not power.
• Think "block while throwing"

Wikipedia, citing Oyama's own writings –

Mas Oyama was actively opposed to the idea of the fragmentation into several karate schools. He believed that making karate a combat sport, as well keeping it as a martial art, could be a possible approach to unify all schools.

---

UFC1 happened around the same time Mas Oyama died. He would have loved to see MMA, where styles are battle-tested against each other. Styles are becoming more unified than they were because of that.

• Uppercut requires being close and having the punching hand low. Inherent danger there.
• Hooking range is uppercut range
• Canelo throws right hook, left uppercut. This gets his range right. There's a moment where you're exposed in range but the hook keeps the opponent busy.
• When pressing together in the high guard, push both their gloves with one arm (i.e. frame). This allows you to sneak the other one away and uppercut.
• Hook to their ribs. When they defend this, they leave the centreline exposed to uppercuts. Do it fast.

NOW GO DRILL THEM! ❤️

I'd thought it was older.

Crazy that it was developed that recently and now used for so many martial arts, including some like TKD that have nothing to do with judo. TKD is neither wrestling nor Japanese.

Should we just stop wearing them?

Decent article here for background: https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/sep/13/canelo-alvarez-terence-crawford-predictions

Crawford has an incredible record of 41-0 and is an ambidextrous switch-hitter. He can use stance-switching to open up angles that Canelo won't be ready for. He'll land, but Canelo has a good chin, and is naturally a much bigger man.

Crawford is the 2/1 underdog (1 chance in 3 of winning). They're both generational talents and technicians, but Alvarez's size and power are a big factor.

The fight is in Las Vegas, so will be evening their time.
