never seen so many exploded livers

[parrrrot]

the true essence of kyokushin karate is to fight empty handed. hence no gloves in fights; therefore, any head blow would make the competition too dangerous and too easy. IMO no punches at head/face level is allowing the fighters to really show off their varied skills and techniques.

plus kyokushin like other karate have techniques that are banned in competitions but are used mainly for real fighting (e.g. strikes to the crotch, knee joint, etc)

[evilherojoseph]

hey there id like to ask, is it legal in karate tournaments to block a strike going for a the head?noone seems to do this ,they always try to evade

[bla7091]

@evilherojoseph They don't strike the head, just kicks to the head in this sport

[Hankthejollyspoon]

@bla7091 Only in competition, you train with head punches.

[pastropmal]

@Hankthejollyspoon Not everybody.

[psychedashell]

@evilherojoseph It's not that blocking is illegal, some of these guys can and will dislocate your arm if you try and stop their kicks, sometimes it's just better to get the hell out of the way. Watch a video that's not a highlight reel for knockouts and you'll see that some of these guys have awesome defensive movements.

[savageseb]

@evilherojoseph what psychedashell said + its not legal to punch the head. why? cause theyu hit so hard you could get brain damage. kicks must be dimmed controlled for it to be a valid score, if you overdo it you are out.

1) so, no punching the head, kicks are more viewable and easier to get out of, henceforth the close distance.

2) kyokushin works on body conditioning to sustain heavy blows, while practicing power hits, again close distance fighting.

Bas Ruten would be in heaven watching this clip yelling "liver shots"!

[CasaDeDog]

What I love about this is the control. You don't see this in the MMA. It's just KILLLLLLLLLLL.

With the true art of fighting there's at least respect and no bravado.

[MarnixBoZ]

@CasaDeDog I agree totally for 100% my friend, I;m training kyokushin to and i just love the way u train to control yourself and to learn so much technique in every kick/punch u do..

[spasictwins2]

Its PERFECT!Their texnique is great!!:)))))) OSU

[8lackened]

It's very painful to watch.

[spykerxxl]

:D :D :D

[videomanlt]

These hurts like hell...its kinda hard to hit to the side cause usually fighter keeps his guard in the middle. But if you do hit with proper power he's going down

[reemalin]

I've seen it in K1 done by Kyokushinkai like Andy Hug and Francisco Filho and, obviously, in that context which is more boxing/kickboxing, there is even less need for the formalities, e.g. wearing a gi, etc., of traditional sparring. I started in Shotokan Karate and TKD and currently practice Pekiti Tirsia Kali & Tai Chi, but I still have a GREAT deal of respect for these Ultimate warriors so it is out of respect and the desire for deeper understanding that I am asking for an explanation.

[reemalin]

Sorry to ask a stupid question, but does anybody know what, if any, significance there is to the post knockout stance Kyokushin Karateka engage in where they execute a downblock/reverse punch chamber? It certainly looks powerful and beautiful, but other than form does it serve any function since usually the adversary is down for the count? Is there a traditional connotation?

[aldridge1]

Kyokushin is true fighting karate. Kyokushin guys are taught to punc/kick/stomp a downed opponent to ensure the altercation is over. Obviously this is not permitted in tournaments so the strike is thrown with control or not thrown at all but merely chambered.

[reemalin]

Thanks for the explanation Aldridge. It makes sense. In Pekiti Tirsia, a knife/stick fighting system, we are taught to follow through with strikes from head to toe under the philosophy that if we miss the primary target (head/shoulder) the follow through will hit a secondary target (groin/foot) and the nonstatic continuous motion will confuse and devastate (like young Mike Tyson throwing "bunches of punches" following through with illegal, but effective, elbows). Are you Kyokushinkai?

[laokon]

The knockdown move / stance is a seiken tsuki. It represents the atemi (finishing blow) after the oponent is down, lost balance, or has been incapacitated in any way allowed

Kind regards

[corporacionmonstruo]

@laokon is it mandatory to do it or is something related with respect ?

[laokon]

@corporacionmonstruo hmmm i'd say none of both, you'll find many fighters who don't do it after scoring a down, and it's not in any ritual of kyokushin, it's just a more "martial" way to show you scored, unlike sports karate where they often turn around and yell like idiots while looking at a ref like. i scored, gimma da point.

[corporacionmonstruo]

@laokon thank you!

[boctocune188]

those were two awesome hook kicks at the end

[upashurpa]

That was hardcore. I'm a Taekwondo practitioner but, I gotta say I dig you Kyokushin guys' style.

[Bjjownsu10]

That's incredible you know how hard it is to bring your knee up to your opponents face without grabbing him.

[kolsyrade]

[Danio1983]

Hiza geri jodan, as well as mae geri jodan and yoko geri jodan, are usually illegal, but they are allowed at international tournaments.

[kolsyrade]

they are always allowed. you just have some strange local restrictions.

[Danio1983]

Really? I didn't know it..

[conflict88]

Woah the last kick! INSANE!

[makavelifiasco]
