... it ... i really expected his kata to look way better...im pretty sure he never practices them...his stances suck lol, which doesn't mean anything more than he's just lousy at kata - he's probably about this good at like...ball room dancing or soemthing ...lol to see him out of his element ;D
to the guy who compare's GSP's kata to Machida's,,,, first of all,,, Machida practices Shotokan Karate, which its kata is kinda different than Kyokushin Karate, which GSP practices.
@TheUmmahFightCamp haha a good style to get used to contact, you`re kiddin me :)
go and get some fist`s into your stomach without gloves, then talk again, thats way way tougher than getting hit with a glove believe me. kyokushin Karate is one the best martial arts for sure to get used to pain!
@djAndyDrew I don't know if you are trying to be smart or not, but let me say if you are try it on your friends. I have been training for 41 years starting with boxing and to this day people know my pedigree. I trained in both Kyokushinkai as well as Oyama karate with Mas Oyama's best student (not Matsui) Shigeru Oyama. I still train hard full-contact at 50 years of age and spar that way with my students.
@TheUmmahFightCamp Maybe you understood me wrong Im`a Kyokushin practitioner myself, i`m compared to you of course a very unexperienced karateka im only 25 years old and have 6years of karate training behind, but i know that kyokushin is a great martial art to do, it sounded to me as if you underestimated kyokushin, in my opinion is it way harder than other martial arts where you train with boxing gloves e.g, i think also that shidokan is very good too cos they train grappling kickboxing aswell
@djAndyDrew I apologize young man!!!!! Yes, you are correct in that Kyokushin is a powerful style that all doubters of Karate should try. I have learned much form Kyokushin and Oyama as well as Ashihara and Enshin (off shoots of the first as you likely know). The closest I ever came to throwing up my breakfast was a tough sparring match in a Kyokushin dojo in Manhattan getting for a full-contact match. I would never underestimate that syle and applaud you for choosing it. OSU

Machida is he best karate fighter in ufc... even though shoguns muy thai is effective and was against machida i do meen he is too slow for most of the guys atm. Machida wouldnt get caught like shogun did if he was to fight Hendo.....
gsp and machida are two different forms of karate. GSP(kyokushin karate) / Lyoto(shotokan karate)....It's said that kata's build stronger mind body and soul. Kyokushin is over 700yrs old.
im a big shogun fan but i gotta say that karate is not useless, its good for people who dont have a great striking back ground and dont know how to deal with it. shogun comes from chute boxe, they know how to fight.
@f9hunter In my art, which is Ed Parker's American Kenpo, the belt GSP is wearing means that he is a 5th degree black belt. The red bar represents 5 degrees. After this, he'd get a red stripe for every degree he earns up until ten where he would have a full bar.
GSP is great guy but how does he consider himself a martial artist. Machida is a martial artist who uses practical karate in fights and preforms better kata.
George hardly uses his karate backround in fights apart from some spinning back kicks, all he does is wrestle and box. Wearing a gi doesnt make you a martial artist or constantly showing of your karate backround that is never used.
@siaosiaochin no i dont need to since i practice shotokan, GSP does not use any martial arts techniques in a fight, its wrestling or boxing, with a few kicks. He is a great mixed martial artist but he cant consider himself a martial artist as machida does. They are two different things. e.g. brock lesner is NOT martial artist just like GSP.
@manz92 He is not a martial artist like GSP because they practice different style. Brock is more grappling based but that's also a martial art. Look at @chinamanspeakenlis comment.
@siaosiaochin i agree, but brock loves takedowns, gsp loves takedowns, brock throws a jab so does gsp, machida loves sweeps and throws and angled strikers straight from the shotokan textbook. Gsp just doesnt do anything to promote martial arts in his fights. he throws an occassioal spinning kick, but its purely for show and not a very effective one. Machida uses a rush of straight punches that are very effective, and thats what he learned through shotokan not in a boxing gym.
@siaosiaochin lol, YES boxing is a sport not a martial art, same with wrestling. A martial art is define as something that originated as forms of self-defense or attack, such as judo, karate, and kendo, and something that has a deep philosophy behind it.
@manz92 Omfg you're truly retarded. I'm done talking to you because my IQ is gonna drop if i were to continue this conversation with a dumbass like you are. Good day fat fool who dosen't even do martial arts but only watches the UFC and think he's all chump.
@stevebedford1 Yeah but it wasn't pollished, it was more like a push kick, all it did was push hughes away, a proper spinning back kick-like say from a high level TKD fighter, is meant to finish. but i guess you can't have the word finish and GSP in the same sentence
@manz92 Lol, you sound a bit like the karateka who wanted to do a style vs style demo vs me. Made the mistake of saying he didn't want stuff taken out of the allowed techniques 'since it was all martial arts'.
Took me about a minute to kick his legs in and he gave up before the start of round two.
Yes, unfair, shotokan doesn't do leg kicks. Then again, his mistake for stepping out of a familiar ruleset. I in turn had a ton of trouble with the judoka who wanted no strikes involved.
@manz92 so since when wrestling and boxing is not part of martial arts???
here's a lesson for you:
thr r diff types of MA: 1) unarmed 2)armed 3)striking 4) grappling. wrestling falls under grappling and boxing in striking. same as sambo falls under striking & grappling, judo falls under grappling. anyone in MMA fights these days, that has technical striking and grappling must be considered martial artist. excluding brawler like kimbo slice or tank Abott etc etc
Georges its a blackbelt in Kyokushin a full contact karate,Lyoto its a blackbelt on Shotokan a semi-contact karate and,there's a lot of differences between shoto and kyo kata's so no one can compare different katas rights? Greetings.(sorry for my bad english, i'm brazillian xD)
He is doing small portions of two kata. The first kata is called Pinan Yodan and the second is Pinan Godan. They are also referred to as Heian Yodan and Heian Godan, respectively. They are originally from the Shotokan school of karate, and have also been borrowed by some other schools as well.
That shit is so stupid. We've already established that this crap is unnecesary and doesn't actually work in a real fight. Wrestling, submissions, and kickboxing work. This karate crap doesn't.
@Jonasboll Kata is not only warm up...a correct kata must be done with full speed and power..however you can do it lightly for a warm up and it's another thing...
@pcjudosambo I have learned Hapkido/Taekwondo for a few years (before seriously practicing Muaythai).
I think Machida's look better because he emphasized pause between each maneuver (or move). St-Pierre, on the other hand, just did it like flowing water (smooth, without a pause). It's hard to explain in English cause i learned everything in Korean.
But basically, if you look at Machida, he does his by slow-fast-pause. GSP, does it without any of those.
@pcjudosambo Different types of Karate. Machida does Shotokan (which imo opinion is better...but I'm biased since I practice it) but St-Pierre does Kyoukoshin.
no ur not wrong, but remeber that karate is divided in 3 diferent styles, theres, karate do shotokan, karate do wado ryu, and karate do shito ryu. and each one of theme have there diferent karatas. and there is also kenpo karate and kyokushin karate. jaja so im not sure what style of katare st pierre studied.
@bmxsabaao no that thing he's doing, is something you do in Martial Arts like Tae Kwo Do or Kung Fu that helps you defend your self, sorry but i can't explain that so well cause i'm Italian and i don't speak english so much
@zepuko This is a very basic kata. The fourth if five Pinan kata's which serve as a training instrument for Kyokushinkai's Kanku kata. This Pinan should be performed flawless while blindfolded. I think he's not really into it , but even then the execution is very, very sloppy.
@zepuko Don't forget the 'put pizza in oven'-kata. ^_^
Anyway, I guess people who watch MMA just aren't used to it. True enough, some people do a kata more as a theatrical play with no idea what's behind it, without thinking. So the entire practise gets the name of being only for show.
And when a guy pops up who does use it for what it's for - like you can also do shadowboxing - then he doesn't get taken seriously.
I don't agree, but I understand why people think like that.
judging from the word karate w/c originated in japan ofc its japanese :))
mushindo kempo? its an old martial art in okinawa. The birthplace of karate most of kyokushin katas were derived from the predefined art so its not really an ear opener to know :D
@kaissarMCR lol makes perfect sense when you put it that way! its been about 20 years since i took it so all i remembered was the pinan part of the name. dont know about other styles or what they call their katas so thats where the ignorant question came from. thank you wise one.
If you watched GSP's documentary "The Striking Truth" you will notice a lot of the movements he does are repeated here. It's nice to see him going back to his roots.
@bakachikun he didnt lose form that's perfect form there's diferent forms. this style is Kyokushin, there is other styles Shotokan, Budo Kai, Kempo, Okinawan karate. From Kyokushin stand point was great the only thing was the knife defense it was a bit odd.
@fuckingbitchassmatty like most ufc fighters, muay thai and brasilan ji jitsu. he also does wrestling, and has a stong background of karate which he has been doing since the age of 7 or 8. really young.
@Fullents He also has a very strong background in Canadian cuddling. In fact many say he is the pioneer of this martial art. I think he also has a black belt in stall tactics too
@Fullents black belt ju-jitsu, black belt kyokishin (fuck my spelling) karate, AMAZING wreslting, and decent muay thai. More of a traditional American/English boxer, rather than a Thai boxer. Still the greatest welterweight to have ever lived!!!! :)
Ludzie, karate to przede wszystkim mentalność, która jest po nad sportem i GSP to ma. A jeśli ktoś pisze, że nie używa karate w ringu. O matko, póki mamy budowę ciała taką jaką mamy to walczyć będziemy podobnie wszędzie (B. Lee)
I thought MMA was supposed to mix it together. Right now, his kata actually got worse not better. I'm not sure if it is because he never learned applications in kata or if he just forgot it all.
@OZONE1234567891 The gi is not traditional of Karate and was actually introduced into Judo by Kano Jigoro in 1982 to help maximize gripping surface and control when conducting judo's many grappling techniques. The judo gi's popularity soon made it a fixture in most martial arts training, including karate. Despite being synonymous with karate, the gi has its roots in judo.
@OZONE1234567891 weel to be fair karate did start out in judogi, so it not the clothes that make the art, and plus a lot of karateka like to wear the heavier dogi.
@toxi87 You're right..for example I practice full contact karate with a judogi, a normal gi or a kickboxing attire..and i'ts the same..clothes don't make the art..
@OZONE1234567891 Cause hes a Brazilian Jiujitsu practitioner and Karate practitioner.And they wear the same shit. A Gi's a Gi no matter how you look at it, its a traditional japanese training uniform so why act so surprise when he busted out a kata? I see millions of karateka dong forms in a "GI" lmao

@2sunami St Pierre was doing his style's version of the Shotokan kata Heian Yodan.
Whitever the style, the same fundamentals apply to kata: fast & slow movements, hard & soft movements, expansiona & contraction of the body.
St Pierre is a superb fighter and I would probably not last 5 minutes in the ring with him,
but he should probably not do that kata in public.
Not only is it bad, but it's obvious he deasn't even know how it bad it is.

@stevebedford1 Yeah but it wasn't pollished, it was more like a push kick, all it did was push hughes away, a proper spinning back kick-like say from a high level TKD fighter, is meant to finish. but i guess you can't have the word finish and GSP in the same sentence

@manz92 Lol, you sound a bit like the karateka who wanted to do a style vs style demo vs me. Made the mistake of saying he didn't want stuff taken out of the allowed techniques 'since it was all martial arts'.
Took me about a minute to kick his legs in and he gave up before the start of round two.
Yes, unfair, shotokan doesn't do leg kicks. Then again, his mistake for stepping out of a familiar ruleset. I in turn had a ton of trouble with the judoka who wanted no strikes involved.

@manz92 so since when wrestling and boxing is not part of martial arts???
here's a lesson for you:
thr r diff types of MA: 1) unarmed 2)armed 3)striking 4) grappling. wrestling falls under grappling and boxing in striking. same as sambo falls under striking & grappling, judo falls under grappling. anyone in MMA fights these days, that has technical striking and grappling must be considered martial artist. excluding brawler like kimbo slice or tank Abott etc etc

Georges its a blackbelt in Kyokushin a full contact karate,Lyoto its a blackbelt on Shotokan a semi-contact karate and,there's a lot of differences between shoto and kyo kata's so no one can compare different katas rights? Greetings.(sorry for my bad english, i'm brazillian xD)

He is doing small portions of two kata. The first kata is called Pinan Yodan and the second is Pinan Godan. They are also referred to as Heian Yodan and Heian Godan, respectively. They are originally from the Shotokan school of karate, and have also been borrowed by some other schools as well.

@pcjudosambo I have learned Hapkido/Taekwondo for a few years (before seriously practicing Muaythai).
I think Machida's look better because he emphasized pause between each maneuver (or move). St-Pierre, on the other hand, just did it like flowing water (smooth, without a pause). It's hard to explain in English cause i learned everything in Korean.
But basically, if you look at Machida, he does his by slow-fast-pause. GSP, does it without any of those.

@zepuko This is a very basic kata. The fourth if five Pinan kata's which serve as a training instrument for Kyokushinkai's Kanku kata. This Pinan should be performed flawless while blindfolded. I think he's not really into it , but even then the execution is very, very sloppy.

@zepuko Don't forget the 'put pizza in oven'-kata. ^_^
Anyway, I guess people who watch MMA just aren't used to it. True enough, some people do a kata more as a theatrical play with no idea what's behind it, without thinking. So the entire practise gets the name of being only for show.
And when a guy pops up who does use it for what it's for - like you can also do shadowboxing - then he doesn't get taken seriously.
I don't agree, but I understand why people think like that.

OZONE1234567891 8 months ago 29
@OZONE1234567891 The gi is not traditional of Karate and was actually introduced into Judo by Kano Jigoro in 1982 to help maximize gripping surface and control when conducting judo's many grappling techniques. The judo gi's popularity soon made it a fixture in most martial arts training, including karate. Despite being synonymous with karate, the gi has its roots in judo.
