Apparently this ref is a well known karateka and it was a big shock that he lost it like this many have said it was most unlike him. However that seems hard to believe to me I think it was probably more a case of the kung fu student broke the rules a few times (low blow, strike after yamea etc) and probably didn't listen/respond to the refs orders or something and the ref got pis##d off and lost it, or maybe the karate student was the refs son or student, who knows??? Whatever the true story is his behaviour is not acceptable and bad for karate's reputation, though you wouldn't want to say anything about his mother would you! :lol: What do you think happened here, and which student do you think was better skilled white or blue?
