You can see him going for one of his take-downs, either the kinjit like take-down or his dae-ashi-barae (the sapu like take-down) but it turns out to be unnecessary as either the kick or the punch (or both) sent Evans falling.<br /><br />But you can definitely see him stepping in to do it and then stop.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30345336.post-30607962090461056702009-05-27T16:56:50.825-04:002009-05-27T16:56:50.825-04:00That kinjit like take-down that Machida does can b...That kinjit like take-down that Machida does can be seen in a Youtube clip called "This is Karate" - it's basically like a kinjit from the waist down but more like a sapu from the waist up. I've never seen it done live before Machida.<br /><br />The punch-sweep combo that Machida loves to do is a pretty common combination amongst Shotokan stylists.<br /><br />That leg trip he does off the clinch is called kosoto-gake in Judo but I imagine it exists in Sumo (which is one of his base arts) as well as every wrestling style out there plus a few striking styles that utilize the clinch (like Muay Thai).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
