Awesome Oss

If u r already a penetrated bottom gay, don’t expect others to be just like u .. There is a world of deferences between friendship & gayship ! U r judging people based on what you are doing 😉

Was he a professional 📸??

Hi; the only secret was that he was bigger than most and with this type of rules; taller or bigger almost always win.

...is by points and the points were all from Imamura. Sports Kumite is not Karate as you are seeing

Last two hits Brennan hit the shoulder.

Was the ref bob rhodes???or a Jap?

No one wins all the time but Frank sure won way more than he lost.

+Scott Sargent Yeah, Frank had both those hots. I wouldn't given Imamura any of those points, because he was jumping to the air to land them and Frank was pushing ihm back.

There's the small fact that Brennan kept hitting Imamura's shoulder, waaay off target.

@@Caeternum agreed. The last two hits he kept hitting the shoulder.

@@AlbertChyn Apparently nowadays, referees count those punches to the shoulder. Just lost a final because of a punch to the shoulder -.- it's sad

Respect to you Jean 😎 Frank could score with any multitude of different techniques that was made him very different from the rest & gave him such a glowing world recognized competitor on the international scene as well as domestic . Good health to Jean you must have been a very good karetka your self 😊😉👍👌👊

You make the winner the least. talking about karma. when you are boastful like brennan you will lose.

It looked like Imamura was out of the area, if so then he cannot legally score while out of bounds even if he hits Brennan, but Brennan can score because he is still inside the line so that Ushiro mawashigeri should have counted. I think that the Ref may have shouted Yame to stop the fight a fraction before the kick hit, ....... so no score. A good ref will pause when a fighter backs off out of bounds before shouting stop to give the other fighter a chance to take advantage but should not wait too long. Either way Imamura should have received a warning for going out of bounds.

No off target, Look at it and super super slow motion

From what I have seen, Frank was a one of a kind natural talent, the JKA could have learned from him which is what happened as M. Tanaka recognized this & started special training for Japanese karateka because of Frank.

Could have been better?? Frank retired Grandslam Champion! His timing was incredible and his kicks were the best in the world, far superior to Imamura, which is why Imamura played defence. Frank was obviously the better fighter from a sport karate perspective. Imamura was a superb Karateka, but in this fight he was a sniper and rarely attacked, which is how it should be for self defence, but it's no good for sport karate if you just sit and wait for the other guy to attack first every time. If Frank had played Imamura's game, they'd have both stood there bouncing in the middle of the mat for 3 minutes and nobody would have scored. Besides that, Brennan won the fight earlier anyway! Did you even see Frank's ushiro-mawashigeri at 1.44, perfect timing, perfect control, straight into Imamura's face. The judge deliberately blew the whistle just as that kick connected, to deny Brennan the victory! It was a fix. Then at the end, you can clearly see Brennan lands the punch first and his hand is half way back before Imamura makes contact. Western Karateka were only invited to the JKA, so the Japanese could study the way they move, because the Japanese champions were being defeated so often, not so Western fighters could learn to move like the Japanese. Having said that, I've just learned a lot from watching Imamura and will watch more of his fights. Do the research and watch the compilation video of Frank Brennan's wins, as I just did, and you'll see how good he actually was.

R0nge what advantage boss

Putting all judging opinions aside, I felt the 2nd point was yowai, and shouldn't have been awarded. The issue with shobu ippon is that although it encourages skilled technqiues, it allows for quicker matches, esp with biased/errors in judging.

What about the shoulder hits? Isn’t that off target for Brennan?

Imamura was out of bounds so it doesn't count.

Ushiro ura mawashi...a perfect and clear point...thus referee is obviously tendencious

Out of bound and after referee yelled yame

When a fighter steps out of bounds he cannot score a point even if he hits with a good technique, BUT.. the other fighter who is still in bounds can continue and score but it must be done without delay, [a good ref will wait a short while before blowing the whistle when someone steps over the line because of this rule] In this case Brennan waited too long and the ref blew the whistle.

the larger than proportion cranium is causing instability in the legs.

+Sempai Chris as if you are TRAINED to see what the judges CAN see...BOTH points, jodan zuni to Brennan & were ON TARGET, while brennan missed his counter...stop hating

I love Imamura Sensei, but here he was pressed @@sanapro2

Agreed!

Amos did that and now as you see clearly in his new clips, is not so incredible regarding technique; so I do not know. The point is that all these guys are big; bigger than most and that is their advantage; when I d watched a fight with a guy similar tall etc; I did not saw ANY good differentiated technique.

I don,t agree. Brennan was better than most Japanese, he beat Mori and Naka like nothing. In this match he waited too long, he didn,t have his usual aggressivity and speed. Imamura is just waiting to execute gyaku zuki.

Despite that, the Japanese had to initiate special training when Frank was beating them so it seems the Japanese did the learning.

Because, after stop - jogai

understatement!

Sensei Frank Brennan had no reason to go to Japan . It would have benefited the Japanese more than him as they would of learnt of him so well . They are well aware that Sensei Frank Brennan was the best karetka in the world . Even The late Nakayama said Frank was the best outside Japan . Remember Master Nakayama produced the very best in Sensei Enoeda, kannazawa, kase etc list endless . Frank was taught from by Andy Sherry & Enoeda. Andy Sherry 1st European Champion & Master Enoeda say no more . Frank Brennan was sparring many of the true great when he was just a child like European Champions like Sensei Terry Oneil , Bob Poyton list goes on . At 17 or 18 years old he took out the world Champion Mori with the most perfect Mawashi geri ; which the photo was used on the cover of a martial arts magazine at the time . I agree Frank could off probably benefited from learning from Sensei Yahara. But who wouldn't ? My farther asked one of the most senior KUGB instructor why he never went to Japan & he said I seen many great karetka's came back in nearly body bags ruined by Japaneese in there ways of teachings & there lack of respect to other fellow karetka's from outside Japan . Frank was robbed many times in his fighting career by too biased judges referees especially the Japaneese himself like many true great European fighter from many different country's. Once you train with him you realize just how good he really is than just watching him competitions . Sensei Tanka said the whole Japanese squad trained specifically just go beat Frank that tells you everything in itself . Frank was robbed in this fight like many others unfortunately

@@robertquinn2156 Shrink Brennan down to the size of most of the Japanese team and you get a guy who doesn't come close to making the Japanese team. He would have learned a ton. The Japanese would have learned little or nothing from FB.

@@sligo405 Sensei Frank Brennan is only 5ft 10 inches !! His size as you put he looks much bigger because of his constant training where he masters techniques which gave him the edge over nearly all competitors . So his height is neither or there!! To say he would not make the Japanese team is ludicrous. Some Japan karetka are bigger than him in height ! He was just so powerfull . The quotes I have given above came from many senior karetka instructors & backed up too ! Do your research & try speaking to people that know him personally speaking over a period of time rather than just watching him in competitions or just fought him once or so ! They will all tell you the same . But off course he does have his haters as many are envious of his achievements & the skills he posses .

@@robertquinn2156 With all due respect (not sure how much, but some), I believe you are deluded. FB was technically average, by Japanese standards (the one that matters in my opinion) and was big, also by Japanese Standards. There were probably two guys his size or bigger in the JKA instructors program back then, and the guys he could have learned from (Sakata, Yamamoto, Kawawada, et al) averaged about 5-7. I was there at the time, and there is no question the JKA guys respected Brennan's skill and spirit, but that's a far cry from seeing him as some kind of karate master that they could learn from. If you had said that to them then they would have fallen over laughing. 100%.

And yet M. Tanaka initiated special training for the Japanese squad because of Frank, that tells me the Japanese did the learning because it was rare for a Westerner to beat them.

in the last grading I went to sensi brennan kicked me in the stomach for not doing it 100% perfectly now iv got a scar for life on my belly (seriosly)

I am sorry to hear that!

+Smiley Dragon frank wouldn't do that, trained under him for years

Well, he may kick you (he certainly kicked me for not concentrating on occasions), but his control in perfect - never more than a sting.

@@isaacmccourt2023 Oh God, I'm no joke getting trained by Brennan on Saturday, he's coming over to the Okami Shotokan club in Wales.

Lmao thought the same

This isn't WKF my friend.

It was not afraid at all ! It was respect as both new how good each one was & new just the slight error would cost them the fight . So Frank was fainting & both where just waiting for the right opening at the right time . But frank showed pressure & fainting where the japaneese competitor new very well how good frank was & could not match him for techinques etc so just soley relied on his his timming as if he tried any more Frank would have found him out . It was a Chess match of true expetional karetekas.
