Since 1998, the Japanese has dominated the World Championship competitions of the Japan Karate Association. In Limerick, Ireland, Rodrigo dominated the world karate elite and got the title.
South America has been getting stronger and stronger in the one point System (Ippon System) for the last decade. Rodrigo outclasses his opponents due to his outstanding tactical skills.
In the One Point System, the opponent has to be defeated by one technique thus being incapacitated. The execution of the technique has to be stopped 1 cm before the target. The fighters wear thin fist protectors und no foot protectors so the fight requires much experience and control. There are almost no injuries.
