Before The UFC, Karate Fighters Were Built Different | Val Mijailovic

Karate wasn’t built for trophies. It was built for survival. In this episode of Blood, Sweat & Cinema, we sit down with legendary karate practitioner Val Mijailovic to talk about hard training, real-world application, discipline, and why modern martial arts has drifted from its roots. No politics. No watered-down philosophy. Just HARD CORE Karate. We discuss: • Old school dojo culture • Conditioning the body AND mind • What today’s fighters are missing • The difference between sport karate and combat karate • Why toughness still matters If you care about authentic martial arts — this one is for you. 🥋 Drop a comment: Is karate softer today than it used to be?
