neither.

1) baji has a starting position, neither of them use it.

2) Kyokushin does not allow striking to the head which is done here clearly.

summary? This is sanda, kickboxing, full contact kungfu or karate or sometrhing along those lines.

The fact that they are wearing head guards suggests that they may have agreed to different rules. Also, some of the people on the comments section of Youtube seem to believe that the man wearing a the Gi is a Kyokushin man.

The other guy is not wearing a traditional karate uniform. So it will be interesting to know what is going on for sure.

I guess it will be easier if someone here can translate the title of the video, as it is not in English.

The title is "BajiQuan vs. Karate."

google's getting better. :)

More accurately this is a Baji practitioner versus a Kyokushin practitioner. Sounds like semantics, but it's really the people that fight, not the arts. And the match was not under Kyokushin rules, so the Kyokushin guy would've been foolish NOT to punch to the head.

Nice match. The Baji guy had good power and accuracy in his kicks and punches.

The Baji guy was the better fighter, more aggressive and more crisp in his moves.
Though there wasn't much baji to see.
