 Ar> I don't follow Youtube links, so I will suppose you are talking about that
 Ar> Karate fighter who was struck unconscious.

 Ar> Sport Karate is not boxing. The idea is for fighters to be quick and
 Ar> precise, not to beat each other into a pulp. If you hit the other too hard
 Ar> then you lack control over your own strikes and are breaking protocol.

 I was really disappointed with NBC's lack of coverage of Karate. I think my DVR (YoutubeTV) recorded a grand total of 15 minutes of Kata, and maybe 30 minutes of Kumite.  Both were buried in 2+ hour "episodes" that included boxing and wrestling. 

I really wanted to watch a lot of the kata stuff.
