I still didn't really figure out when and why they stop the bouts. In some moments one guy kicks the other (and hard) and they go on, and on basically similar actions they are stopped.

If there is a point or warning they stop the match.

Alright, here's a real hot take: if I had to chose between kata and kumite as Olympic disciplines, I'd pick kata.

After Horne's injury I might be inclined to agree to that. A showcase for Karate that is also different from other combat sports.

That actually describes what I appreciate about kata pretty well - it's very different from anything else at the Olympics and it's the most pure form of marital arts competition.
