If you watch closely Shokei Matsui's arm is under Andy's arm while he throws the blow to his jaw/throat. Shokei Matsui's arm was swinging upwards and pushed Andy's thrown punch off target. The foul was unintentional and I think Andy was holding back. He was the first non-Japanese guy in the fight. If he won they wouldn't of allowed him to receive the trophy anyways. Japanese are strictly nationalist and hate outside races. I think Japan gave him leukemia too. They couldn't stand a better person
@Valient6 Karate is about self perfection. Perfection of one's own character. Also it is about respect. Respect towards other people and when it comes to training, respect towards your opponent is inevitable. I do not think such things you said, from Mas Oyama nor Matsui, or many other respectable karateka out there. I find it ridiculous to think that Andy would have been holding back. He did pretty well, don't you think? They were both great fighters.
@Valient6 Also, Mas Oyamas intention was to spread Kyokushin all over the world. So there's not much space for the "japanese or non-japanese" way of thinking.
@cutieboy1802 No, MMA is shit because have no spirit and no respect. Their low kicks? From traditional martial arts. Their high kicks? From traditional martial arts. Their arms or leg locks? From traditional martial arts. But noooo, they have to disrespect the martial arts they use in combat. I guess it's okay, so is the kind of fight that would like to a brainless douche bag like you. Peace.
@TheKungfuzen you talk about respect and no spirit? Lets put light to the real life when people bounce on you. You gonna 'martial arts' them? Think about it. And my hypothesis is that MMA owns this! In other words, put both of them together, and you'll see who comes out victorious
@cutieboy1802 I'm also going to point out that these Kyokushin guys are no joke. No gloves shows how serious they are. I respect them for their body blows from what I see here. Also... why the hell would you wrestle on the ground in real life? You never want to stay on the ground no matter what you do.
The only part of MMA that is useful in an actual fight is the striking, you'll get your head stomped on if you try take it to the ground. Kyokushin Karate is one of the strongest stand up styles around therefore your "hypothesis" is full of holes.
@cutieboy1802 Depends what rules you're laying down. You talking about a street fight? Well then no rules apply, maybe a kendo dude would beat an MMA fighter cuz he found a swordlike object nearby. If you're talking about a fight with certain rules, well then in MMA rules the MMA guy will win, if you're talking about Kyokushin rules, then the Kyokushin person will win.
And lets see if your jiu-jitsu or Muay Thai will stop them.
Ive been in club fights and I use to be a bounce. Your BJJ wont work because in real fights ppl dont fight 1 on 1 and thats the only time your BJJ will win a fight.
Traditional karate or Tangsoodo can handle real fights.
Two amazing Fighters. There are not many fighters these days (bar kyoksuhin) who can go the distance they went for as long as they did. 10min at the level they were going at is somthing to be proud of, especialy with the techinique and power these two had. Most guys would be down with two kicks or punches. Let alone 1min.
Kanch Matsui and Andy Hug are exceptional fighters and Kyokushin fighters...but I love the technique and precision which Kancho Matsui has. Hope I can have that much dicipline one day. Osu
Shokei Matsui clearly won the fight, I believe he even sweeped andy in round 1 - I don't know why a good timed gedan mawashi geri to the supporting leg, to drop your opponent isn't included as waza-ari, I thought it was & in my eyes its the same as a knockdown.
@Sm0k4bl3 they been fighting more than an hour bareknuckle, so naturally you tire, I've seen the same happen to andy, so try to show some respect to fighters especially since you don't have the conditioning or mental strength to do that yourself.
@MUEEN007 They give body shots, sure those hurt. But one small blow to the face and mr karate man gets KO'd? I just don't see how that works in a real fight where they won't only hit you in the body, but mainly on the head. That means mr karateman won't stand a chance?
@Sm0k4bl3 he didn't get KO'd, he took a little time to get up because he's probably extremely tired after going at it for soo long, he did exaggerate the punch, to show judges it landed on his face which is illegal, there are plenty of videos of kyokushin karateka getting punched in the face & carrying on like nothing is happening. Your acting like he got KO'd lol he got back up in a few seconds & started fighting again, you can see how tired he is, look at his face.
@Sm0k4bl3 When you learn kyokushin karate, your taught punches to the head & everything, it's only in competition your not allowed, there are some karateka that don't train head punches & focus solely on competition, but their are many like me that spar regularly with face punches, the reason the rules are no punches to the face because anyone can punch & if you included face punch then you'd have to wear gloves, which would also make it less practical.
@Sm0k4bl3 mr karate this when he wants to hit the face he will break it in one punch only , who breaks stones no face will stand up in front of him , here is the difficult to break your enemie without touching his face , that's what i call a great fighter Osu!!!
@cool93boy Andy was also lucky in 3rd round when he tried front kick and Matsui replyed with Yushiro Maashi Gairi. Andy was clearly beatan in lower kicks(Gedn Mawashi Gairi)
@cool93boy Watched this moment like 10 times and it seems like matsui was actually able to block the kick with his hands and by blocking I mean divert it a little bit higher + he tilted his head, great reaction!
i didnt mean any disrespect with my coment sorry if i offended anyone but i'm just a little tired of people imposing their religious beliefs on everyone else. but eh this is you tube and everyone who is everyone has to say something about something. but again sorry if i offended n e one
lol, that matsui is a boxer and the clincher type, not fun to watch . Handy was looking for the spectacular finish, matsui was looking for the decision ...
I think Master Matsui won the fight but it is very close...could have easily been a draw. Master Matsui looks like he could go another round or two. Sensei Hug had his mouth open gasping for air. But both gave good fight.
Japanese......the Nihonjin....ARE asian. Worldwide, approximately 130 million people are of Japanese descent; of these, approximately 127 million are residents of Japan. The adult literacy rate in Japan exceeds 99%. The ancestors of the modern Japanese have thier origins traced back to Mongolian, Korean as well as Han Chinese immigrants during the paleolithic era, so they are deffinately ASIAN.
I like Master Matsui's guard, excellent form. Sensei Hug's guard works for him i guess but i would use Master Matsui's guard. but both fought very well. A GREAT fight. But, imagine now if they allowed grappling like old school Kyokushin. Oyama O-Sensei studied Jujitsu and Aiki-Jujitsu at one time and those techniques were in the original Kyokushin as Goshin-jutsu (self-defence).
Respond to this video... I'm ranked 4th in the I.B.C. Keep you eyes open I will post my next fight. And btw Fuck you and your Jap lover! This AZIAN PRYDE!!!! Fuck a Jap!
@Frequent2001 NOW UR THE IDIOT FUCKING DUMB HONKYS,," OH THEY ALL THE SAME" FYI JAPS ARE NOT ASIANS THEY ARE DOGS, TO BE BEATEN AND KILLED FUCKEM, WE ASIANS ARE AS FAR BEYOND JAPS AS THEY ARE BEYOND YOU, IDIOT!!! LOL
you can call me an idiot all you want, but its obvious who is the idiot here, since by definition japanese people are asian. so not only you are an idiot but you are also illiterate, and immature.
@Ksharp1fan look in any dictionnary, asia includes japan, of course if you look into the mentally challenged fact book then you will find some different definitions..
according to the atlas the middle east is in asia too but middle easterners aren't referred to as asians in the west. however in the middle east and central asia people identify themselves as asians.
bottom lines is different people have different definitions for asia, please get the fuck over it.
@Ksharp1fan why are you talking about the middle east you stupid motherfucking imbecile, japan is in asia, or some say pacific asia, so its still in asia. only idiots like you have a stupid definition for things, people that follow an illogical path of thinking.
@Ksharp1fan WHat fucking world you and he grew up on? Everyone in the WHOLE world knows that Japanese are Asians, even they know that. dumb asses all over the place.
and you're speaking from experience... you've been to the whole world right?
I'm not saying japanese aren't asians retard I'm just saying if someone says japanese aren't asians it's their opinon don't get all butt hurt about it. luckypx is who said japs aren't asian
@Jesuschristus dominus. From one catholic to another(sorry if you are not catholic just assuming cause your sn is in Latin) religion is alot like a penis... Great to have one, great to be proud of having one... But don't go waving it around in public or shoving it down peoples throats!
@soloslave1985 hahaha dude ur simile was halarious. i was like "wtf?!" when i got to the "religion is a lot like a penis" part, but from then on its just total LOL XD. btw, im christian. just sayin. ;)
@soloslave1985 where does this shit come from? what do you consider all the temples and parades in japan or the martial arts kumite which has significant ties to shinto. if you want to use your logic understand these institutions that have been around hundreds of years and wont go away because you were born yesterday and think its wrong to be religious in public. not everyone has your particular values respect that by recognizing the banality of your complaint.
@00Jackacid You're taking this the wrong way buddy. He is not saying that you cannot practice religion, he is saying that you can't go around saying that your religion is right, and others' religions are wrong. You have every right to practice your beliefs, but you have to let others find their own.
Andy Hug threw some great kicks in that match- his spinning ones at least. Loved that Roundhouse Shokei Matsui executed to his face in the middle of the match
Really, Matsui won? bro that guy was such a cheater, he was grabbing Andy more than an old man at a strip joint. Also even when the wistle was blown on several ocassions, he still kept pucnching and kicking wtf!? and the fact that this was in Japan only helps Matsui
u know the Japanese dropped after that head punch was weird, i dont think any fighter that instantly falls after an illegal strike was badly hurt by that strike, maybe just to show that the opponent did something illegal like grabbing ur balls after someone hit em
@corvanjer ur ignorant cuz ur are not involved in this kind of competition or in sport in general and trying to convince me that u know something and calling me ignorant, u dont know what ur talking about even if in this case its not true and that punch did hurt it happens in other cases.
i dont disrespect shit u idiot its what ive seen before so dont go and make me a bad guy cuz 2 me u sound kinda stupid for acussing me for disrespecting something when i clearly didnt
" i dont think any fighter that instantly falls after an illegal strike was badly hurt by that strike, maybe just to show that the opponent did something illegal like grabbing ur balls after someone hit em"
For one, saying they weren't hurt, is ignorance, secondly saying that Matsui only fell over to show that Andi hit him in the face, is guess what? Ignorance! :D.
a gentleman fighter is hug...can see he's genuinely upset at landing an accidental punch to the head...so much so that he pretty much stops trying to win from the time the fight is restarted, adopting a defence only strategy. classy guy.
@stardust005 There's a little trick to avoiding that. Five two minute rounds with a partner or two who are going to hit you in the head if your hands come down, do it once or twice a week. I took it up because there's less people in my dojo who can reach my head with kicks these days and I took a head kick at a tournament due to my low guard.
Beh,Andi Hug sarà senz'altro un grande campione,ma qui sarebbe stato molto ingiusto se non avesse vinto Shokei Matsui.E' stato proprio molto bravo,in controllo dall'inizio alla fine,tranquillo e determinato,tranne qualche sporadico calcio,non sempre a segno,dell'avversario,e quel pugno irregolare.
The reason why the Japanese aren't winning world championships nowadays is because many of the great's only competed in one or two world tournaments and now most of them are out of serious competition, however the next generation will be the one's to watch out for - 2012 OSU
Both Andy and matsui are great fighters, however I think matsui clearly won this fight. He was much more aggressive and accurate. I think andy did win the 2nd round but 1st and 3rd was definitely matsui, he had control as he kept pushing andy around the mat. I think matsui is a very intelligent fighter. Can't believe some people on here are saying the early world champs only won because they were japanese lol its cos they were the best in there times - u saying kenji midori aint world class? OSU
To me, it seems Matsui was cheating. Look at the vid, he's grabbing tu upper part of the Andi's gi. Plus, he keeps pushing him ayway with the hands and sometimes hitting him after the referee stop the fight. Through my eyes, it doesn't seem very fair for Andi from the part of the Japanese who weren't impartial at all. Why do you, people, think about that?
@BAE51C I haven't seen it but I guess you're right. And even Andi has hit Matsui in the face, Matsui has done more and more faults. That's not really fair no?
@Fullzerohacker The pushing that he does is completely allowed. And the hitting after stopping the fight, happens all the time, nobody cares as long as you don't knock one out. It's not very easy to stop the fight just at the right moment.
@pastropmal Yeah, of course, I do understand what you mean. But, it's not the referee's fault, it's the fighter's fault. Or maybe it's just me, because I'm practing regularly kyokushin and I have sparing combats every week and that's not something which happens in the dojo I go. And I believe pushing the opponent with open hands is forbidden, but if a punch push away, that's not a problem.
@Fullzerohacker True, and no it's not the referee's fault. "Pushing the opponent with open hands is forbidden", propably is. It's just very interpretive.
Matsui clearly won the first round. Andi won the 2nd round, but it was a close call. The 3rd round was kinda like a draw, except for Andi punching Matsui in the face, which is not allowed. So Matsui won the fight.
I do think that as of now a lot of the champions do come from the European contries and those of the former Soviet regime. I have fought against a lot of Polish and Spanish and Bulgarian fighters and they seem to be a lot stronger and fight for a greater purpose. What ever that is, but to be fair to the Japanese, they still have the best teachers and the strongest masters and from thier schools there are up an comming fighters that have, can and will prove to be the worlds best.
hey. i recently started kyokushin, and most if not all the people/instructors there are Polish, Ukrainian or Russian (I have nothing against that, keep reading). They are very good. I was just wondering if there was a reason that kyokushin is (I'm guessing) popular in east Europe?
@KraZKaiL I would guess as Kyokushin, probably at one time, was the largest organization in karate, Oyama had a method down of landing strong branch cheifs, and also sending students to various areas to start schools, eastern europe is close to japan, maybe similar to judo spreading to sanbo in russia, if that makes any sense?
@coolassjoker It's however japanese style, but people from all over the world proved a style isn't a nationality, it's will, it's a culture. So I can't exactly agree that the japanese are the best for sure.
THis is a clear fight where andy is going best , but if the matsui lose this fight it will be japnese insult and oyama, so they keep continue the tradition for winnig for japnese players, it was when mas oyama alive, but now there is eight part of kyukishen karate world. and champions are from euroup and others. what you think??
You crazy. Andy Hug was not that aggressive and he keep missing his kicks. The match wasnt over. Plus he got points takin away for hittin Shokei in the face. And yes there are many Kyokushin karate championships now but are they legit? By this I mean anyone can host a tournament and put "World Championship" in the title. Then you'll have ppl talkin about how they won the world championship. Come on!
esta es la primera pelea de andy que veo que pierde hehe

according to the atlas the middle east is in asia too but middle easterners aren't referred to as asians in the west. however in the middle east and central asia people identify themselves as asians.
bottom lines is different people have different definitions for asia, please get the fuck over it.

@soloslave1985 where does this shit come from? what do you consider all the temples and parades in japan or the martial arts kumite which has significant ties to shinto. if you want to use your logic understand these institutions that have been around hundreds of years and wont go away because you were born yesterday and think its wrong to be religious in public. not everyone has your particular values respect that by recognizing the banality of your complaint.

@00Jackacid You're taking this the wrong way buddy. He is not saying that you cannot practice religion, he is saying that you can't go around saying that your religion is right, and others' religions are wrong. You have every right to practice your beliefs, but you have to let others find their own.

some things to notify:
1: how beautiful the Kyokushin-Kaikan was still unified in these days with Sosai alive before the splitup.
You can see shihan midori kenji supporting shokei matsui and you can hear hatsuo royama talking with the commentator as well as supporting matsui.
2: no kanji yet on the karate uniforms,pretty weird these days if you see it without kanji.
3: Matsui was totally owning Andi Hug here already since the 1st round, yet still they let them have 2 extension rounds.
Osu!!

Really, Matsui won? bro that guy was such a cheater, he was grabbing Andy more than an old man at a strip joint. Also even when the wistle was blown on several ocassions, he still kept pucnching and kicking wtf!? and the fact that this was in Japan only helps Matsui

u know the Japanese dropped after that head punch was weird, i dont think any fighter that instantly falls after an illegal strike was badly hurt by that strike, maybe just to show that the opponent did something illegal like grabbing ur balls after someone hit em

@AintDoneYet123 You don't have a clue of what ignorance is.
stating that the 'fighter' (who becomes concussed, btw.) only falls to the ground to 'show the opponent has done an illegal act' is complete idiocy.
That right there shows your ignorance to martial arts and disrespects it entirely. You don't know what you're talking about - ignorance.
Both of these karateka have a great deal of respect for the martial way.

stardust005 1 year ago
@stardust005 There's a little trick to avoiding that. Five two minute rounds with a partner or two who are going to hit you in the head if your hands come down, do it once or twice a week. I took it up because there's less people in my dojo who can reach my head with kicks these days and I took a head kick at a tournament due to my low guard.

The reason why the Japanese aren't winning world championships nowadays is because many of the great's only competed in one or two world tournaments and now most of them are out of serious competition, however the next generation will be the one's to watch out for - 2012 OSU
MUEEN007 1 year ago
Both Andy and matsui are great fighters, however I think matsui clearly won this fight. He was much more aggressive and accurate. I think andy did win the 2nd round but 1st and 3rd was definitely matsui, he had control as he kept pushing andy around the mat. I think matsui is a very intelligent fighter. Can't believe some people on here are saying the early world champs only won because they were japanese lol its cos they were the best in there times - u saying kenji midori aint world class? OSU
MUEEN007 1 year ago
To me, it seems Matsui was cheating. Look at the vid, he's grabbing tu upper part of the Andi's gi. Plus, he keeps pushing him ayway with the hands and sometimes hitting him after the referee stop the fight. Through my eyes, it doesn't seem very fair for Andi from the part of the Japanese who weren't impartial at all. Why do you, people, think about that?

@Fullzerohacker The pushing that he does is completely allowed. And the hitting after stopping the fight, happens all the time, nobody cares as long as you don't knock one out. It's not very easy to stop the fight just at the right moment.
pastropmal 1 year ago
@pastropmal Yeah, of course, I do understand what you mean. But, it's not the referee's fault, it's the fighter's fault. Or maybe it's just me, because I'm practing regularly kyokushin and I have sparing combats every week and that's not something which happens in the dojo I go. And I believe pushing the opponent with open hands is forbidden, but if a punch push away, that's not a problem.

Matsui clearly won the first round. Andi won the 2nd round, but it was a close call. The 3rd round was kinda like a draw, except for Andi punching Matsui in the face, which is not allowed. So Matsui won the fight.

兩人正面互推不化力，被推向後的就是拳頭力量不如對方，
另一面，
兩人正面互推互化力，能不斷的化開對手的力，就是靈活走步運動反應比對方好。
在KO擊倒制中，
如果你拳頭力量不如人家，靈活走步又不如人家，

I do think that as of now a lot of the champions do come from the European contries and those of the former Soviet regime. I have fought against a lot of Polish and Spanish and Bulgarian fighters and they seem to be a lot stronger and fight for a greater purpose. What ever that is, but to be fair to the Japanese, they still have the best teachers and the strongest masters and from thier schools there are up an comming fighters that have, can and will prove to be the worlds best.

hey. i recently started kyokushin, and most if not all the people/instructors there are Polish, Ukrainian or Russian (I have nothing against that, keep reading). They are very good. I was just wondering if there was a reason that kyokushin is (I'm guessing) popular in east Europe?
KraZKaiL 9 months ago
@KraZKaiL I would guess as Kyokushin, probably at one time, was the largest organization in karate, Oyama had a method down of landing strong branch cheifs, and also sending students to various areas to start schools, eastern europe is close to japan, maybe similar to judo spreading to sanbo in russia, if that makes any sense?

Then you'll have ppl talkin about how they won the world championship. Come on!
