I was searching for a topic for today’s article and I came on this youtube movie trailer entitled 100 Man Fight. I’ll let you see the movie trailer below but after watching that – I was thinking – ok – this is something I will enjoy writing about. But alas the movie was not on Netflix or Amazon Prime so I started searching around some more.
I found another 50 man fight video and started watching it. From the first trailer I was expecting a tough, hard fought fight with lots of injuries and blood maybe (if I was lucky) but watching an actual representation of this type of fight I was disappointed. You see I must come from another era. Sparring or kumite one had to use hand and foot pads and cups. We also did medium contact to the body and light contact to the head.
The contact for this 50 man match was very light to the body and for the first 10 minutes of so – no contact to the head. So my guess is anyone in good enough aerobic shape could have done one of these matches without issue so long as they had margional fighting skills. But anyway – please review the movie trailer and some of the 50 man fight video I found and decide for yourself. I’ll give my opinions about the kumite after.
Here is the Frank Cirillo, 50 Man Kumite 2012 video.
Ok I did check a few times through the video and the fighting did not get any better. So I don’t really know if this is representative of all 100 man kumite matches or not.
Let me just say I was expecting to see hard fought medium contact fighting to the body and head. This was not that but seemed to be more of a training sparring match where an instructor takes it easy on students while they are learning.
So I am going to miss the 100 man kumite movie if it ever comes out. Sorry but I would have rather watched a point sparring tournament than this.
Please let me know what you think.
