I'm not agree with the opinion that Ashihara Karate is the same as Kyokushin, with the only differences in Turnement-Rules and the throwing of the opponent.
The sense of the Sabaki-Methode is only to go out of the straight line and get minimal damage and make from that position maximal damage. The repertoire of karate-techniks are reduced to real fighting-techniks. If a fighter does good sabaki he don't needs any blocking. He can do conter directly.
The throwing is only a training-method. Kancho sais: If you throw somebody, he can get up again. It means: If the trainer does everytime a punsh ore a kick to his students when they make mistakes, he lose them. It is no part of the sabaki-method it is a product of the experiences of an old Sensei.
