"Dojo Yaburi" eh? I'd heard of dojo storming in the old days here in the states and recently a friend of mine who has trained Kyokushin(in his youth) told me stories of well known karateka who visited his dojo from abroad and did this very thing. I thought they must be really crazy to do that but maybe when you are hard core enough and tough enough you just do it. I can see it a bit better now that a karate term is applied to it and it sorta has a precedent .... a tradition.
I do remember when I first started any martial arts training and only for a few months that a Goju-Ryu stylist who also kickboxed stopped by our new fledling WTF Taekwondo dojang .... for a "friendly" match with our Sa Bum Nim. He politely declined. I'll never forget that Karateka's fists .... they were ENORMOUS! Comparatively our walking stances were like wilted grass! I shudder to think that I may have stuck with that style.
