And this is when you get that Joe Rogan is an idiot, despite being a TKD black belt himself. Let's imagine that you are watching a kickboxing event, and one of the fighters takes down and chokes his opponent. Will he "win" because he rendered his opponent unconscious? what about the RULES of kickboxing? Now imagine an MMA match and one of the guys just plucks out the opponent's eyes with his thumbs, until he taps… submission at any cost is valid, right?. One of the most important rules of sport Karate is that you should NEVER go full contact. KO' ing your opponent makes you automatically disqualified becase "ITS NOT A FULL CONTACT SPORT". So no, Joe Rogan is just showing his utter ignorance on this particular sport, as he does on a LOT of other subjects. He should read a little more and talk with real experts on the subject, not to smoke weed all day and invite his stoner friends to tell stoner stories about aliens in egypt.
Kata can be used in sparring. The application of kata to sparring is called bunkai. Kata is actually very useful because it was devised to be used in a self-defense against multiple opponents
