“In my historical past, I have already got three world championships in Japan, that are referred to as Karate Olympics. That is already a stable expertise”, laughed S. Vorobjova, ace of drugs and rehabilitation.
She would not rely, she needed to work with members of the nationwide group in a number of European championships, however she admits that a number of generations of members of the nationwide group have already modified.
– Is it attainable to name the game of kyokushin karate extraordinarily affected by accidents in comparison with different sports activities?
– Should you do not play or combat in response to the foundations, then each sport may be “made” probably the most traumatic. If we speak about karate, it’s often dominated by head accidents, hand fractures, knee and meniscal accidents and contusions.
You understand, every little thing on this sport relies on how far the athlete goes in direction of the medals: if he retires after the primary combat, that is one factor, and one other should you compete for medals.
In any case, it is no secret that the rivals comply with their future opponents, have a look at the place he harm within the earlier combat and goal the sopules.
If that painful space is hit repeatedly, ultimately it’s “damaged” and the ache or damage takes over.
– What is alleged to be the “hottest” damage in karate?
– In competitions… It is arduous to say. After all, there are damaged bones, concussions, enamel have been knocked out, however you possibly can’t name these in style accidents, as a result of they solely occur when the opponent behaves illegally, fights not in response to the foundations. It is an exception, however that is how it’s on this sport.
Should you combat in response to all the foundations, there are issues with bruises on the physique, cut up palm bones, damaged enamel.
In any case, the blows within the competitors are highly effective, the pressure is big. In Japan, throughout the championship of absolutely the class, my husband, physician Tomas Vorobyov, additionally noticed an open leg fracture after a blow.
– For a number of years now, you’ve gotten been driving and serving to the Lithuanian kyokushin karate group throughout the European, world or absolute class championships in Japan. Which stage of competitors has extra accidents – in Europe or on the earth?
– You understand, the place there are extra skilled, skilled karate fighters, there are fewer accidents, fewer accidents. I can not say that there are fewer issues with the well being of fighters on the earth, as a result of even there among the many finest there are additionally not absolute favorites.
In my view, such a query is tough to reply, as a result of there are some issues each in a single place and in one other, and it can’t be mentioned that combating is “cleaner” and safer in Europe.
– So it may be mentioned that professionals injure their opponents much less?
– Sure. The higher a karateka’s method, the much less random strikes he makes that might injure his opponent. It’s unambiguous.
After all, there may be one other facet of the coin – the identical professionals hit very exactly and really arduous, so it’s not stunning {that a} fighter can break a palm bone or trigger severe ache to an opponent.
In basketball, you possibly can current clear accidents – knees, ankles, shoulders, however karate doesn’t. At one time there have been clavicle fractures after a blow from the elbow from above, however now this blow is prohibited and the damage resolved itself.
– Can a karateka put together for a attainable damage? Is it attainable to create some sort of prevention towards accidents?
– Every little thing relies on method, on professionalism. As in lots of sports activities, there may be so-called prevention of the physique, when the athlete seeks to strengthen and enhance it.
However as quickly as an athlete reaches the zenith of his athletic type, that good type deprives him of a sort of immunity – as an example, in athletics, accidents catch up when the athlete is in the very best bodily situation. Therefore, bodily health is sweet, however the immune system is weakened.
I believe that in all sports activities, subsequent to coaches and coaching, there also needs to be drugs – care, vitamin, relaxation regime.
– Can or not it’s mentioned that it’s attainable to scare in karate – to say that it’s a high-risk sport?
– And boxing is a high-risk sport. And what? You understand, in case you are insured with insurance coverage firms, any sport is an elevated threat issue.
Martial arts contain elevated threat and you will not get away with it – it could possibly get you within the head. However… Who’s to say you possibly can’t get a hand or an elbow to the face or head in basketball?
However from what I see, I do not wish to blacken karate within the slightest – combating and blows to the physique or head haven’t any impact on the intellectuality of karate fighters.
Among the many finest group members and champions, now we have scientists, bankers, professors. They’re severe erudites who even handle to summarize each their future duels and all of the strengths of their opponents.
And for a lot of, karate solely helps to climb the profession ladder. I can let you know – with such a standard thought about blunt hitting or “go and hit” karate, you’ll not survive within the sport, with such an thought, that individual won’t obtain something. You want brains on this sport.
– Do you bear in mind the worst karate damage throughout the championships?
– I all the time discover it very merciless when a hand is hit within the head or neck and an athlete is taken out of the sector on a stretcher.
You do not know what the tip of this complete story is, what the results are, however the truth that the athlete is taken to the hospital is already horrible and merciless.
As a medic, I can say that each blow will backfire on you after some time. Regardless of what number of occasions you fall on the mushy spot, it is going to nonetheless be some sort of trauma and after some time it is going to react. Each trauma leaves a mark on the physique.
– Lithuanian kiokushin karate youth and grownup nationwide group will compete within the European Championship in Valencia, Spain this weekend. What could be a celebration for you on this competitors? Medals out of your supervised athletes?
– To keep away from severe accidents. After all, be careful to your athletes. In any case, you aren’t solely a health care provider, but additionally a psychologist earlier than the competitors.
And the vast majority of karate fighters speak about medals, visions of an excellent efficiency, and never about accidents. And you might be comfortable when every little thing is okay with them.
