@samoth86: These practitioners of Kyokushin Karate are very powerful, strong, and tough minded indeed. The competition looks really fierce as well! Thank you for showing this video!
@boblani1 yes punches are disallowed to the face due to historical reasons, read a little you might understand the logic. And kicks were referred as harder to hit the head, henceforth allowed, and given more credit upon effectively used. Not everyone can kick to the head level yes? Hope I helped. =)
@CoinDetective LOL! I prefer not to get kicked on the head though. I don't mind the legs, coz' I'm pretty sure any skilled martial artist would have the common sense of avoid taking hits, at least I do that for myself, given any part of my body, not just my legs =)
WAACHA DOJO! Kyokushin karate is all about NOT blocking and trying to drop your opponent? LOL! Seems pretty craptafic too me! :) Also, seems size does matter in this so called martial art...
@MADHater01 The reason for this is that when it comes right down to it a martial art is the art of beating the stuffing out of the other guy and bigger people tend to be better at it. What can you do, surprise an opponent with your skill? In a competition like that your opponent has the same skill, he knows what you're gonna do because he does it too. On the other hand YouTube search 'Kyokushin Karate Legends: Kenji Midori' he's 70kgs-five foot nothing and won the 90kg+ open division.
@psychedashell Sorry bud, but I'll always stand by my Kempo! :) Unless we have a damn good reason to lift one leg off the ground, or have our feet off the ground entirely (jumping, fancy kicks, punches, etc) its needless, dangerous and a waste of strength, energy, stamina and endurance. I would never fight like this. You guys go high, I go low. You guys go in the air, I rush in and push you off balance. You lock a joint, I break said joint. Competitions = fail. I disagree about size comment.
@MADHater01 I appreciate Kempo feel free to stand by it, but to be honest competition is where you face the most aggression. You get exposed to people who do things slightly differently-if you're in an open style competition completely differently. I would be more concerned about fighting a boxer who does nothing but compete than somebody who has only ever pretended to strike their opponent because their moves are "too deadly". Half an inch makes a low kick a knee breaker.
@psychedashell We do full contact. Only a few things we can't do which is probably the same as you guys... No eyes, throat, temples, kicking to knees, and or blocking into joints; destroying any soft tissues, joints, bones. I mean? There's nothing better than getting 'physical' from time to time and enjoying a good friendly fight?! :)
@MADHater01 More than likely they are pretty similar. There's a Kenpo group that comes to our state knockdown tournament to compete, they invite everyone there to compete in their state event too. I believe some of the closer groups take the offer, but I'm 4 hours away from where they hold it, so I've never been. Shame too, I'd like to compete under their rules.
@psychedashell Kempo's a lot of fun! :) Also, the terms :Kenpo, and Kempo refer to the same things. It's purely idioms.. Doesn't matter how its said.. Finally, I'd love to compete and am not afraid of getting my ass handed too me. It's just my Masters do not see relevance in competing. And I'd have to play by rules... This is why I cannot compete, well, mostly the disrespectful part to my style and masters.
@MADHater01 Yeah, that's a hard call. It's not disrespectful to your style because there are Kempo clubs who do compete in anything that's avaliable to them with the belief that doing everything means never specialising on one rule set and sooner or later they use everything under pressure. But if your instructors say no and you don't want to go against them that's pretty much the end of it.
@MADHater01 You could always chalk it up as a handycap rather than a rule, like tying a hand behind your back to face a lower grade. But to each their own methods.
@psychedashell I did that once. Pushed my left knuckle in on my index finger.. Damn, do I miss that knuckle! :) Doesn't affect me much but sure does suck not having all my knuckles on my left fist.. Oh well! :) Still works well.. :D
@MADHater01 Ugh, that's gotta be nasty. I got my hand bashed by a rowing oar once, well, several times actually, but once that really made it swell up something fierce, couldn't move three fingers on my right hand for two weeks, but I've never had a broken or dislocated bone before.
@MrKarateka123 I sure did. On my left fist, the index finger's knuckle, it's pushed straight in, and its been like this for just over 4 years now.. I miss my knuckle! :( Fist works flawlessly though, just sucks cause now I have a round fist that is more like a club than a defined fist with distinct knuckles..
Plus, strong body, weak head. I mean, I have taken several kicks to the head, and I have never been tko'ed nor ko'ed from that. Once I got two fears kick to my head in matter of one minute, but was still able to beat my opponent. In this video they drop like flies. Then just think what a punch can do to the head... Which in my opinion are better to throw to the head...
@Caeviens "They", don't you mean "some"? There are very few karateka who can do that. And on that point I will also say, the most popular martial art is karate. Here were I live, the amount of karate dojos equals all the amount of other martial arts dojos together. Yet, despised that karate being so popular, there are few of them whom are truly skilled. It's like comparing Usa and Sweden in hockey. It's more ppl in NYC then whole Sweden. Yet, Sweden woops Usa'a asses.
@Southpaw4warrior They=/=All. And as for Skill; Theres a Difference, between a Martial Artist, and a Martial Stylist. Unfortunately, there arent as many Die-Hard Martial Artists as there used to be.
@Caeviens Well, I blame the belt system 4 that. Ppl are aiming more 2 get the techniques correct 2 be able 2 advance in belt colour rather then be able 2 use it in a real fight. That's way it looks good, but it lacks power & determination. They know how 2 do the technique in air, on bags, boards & ice blocks. But not how 2 use it on a moving opponent. Hitting real flesh is so much different 2 hit then all the things above. & when standing infront an opponent who WANTS 2 truly destroy you...
@Caeviens So to that I want to say till all karateka people. Some few of your "kind" are famous and you get all cocky saying "Karate rules, osu!!" Karate is a good martial art, I can agree with that. But when people act all cocky when they haven't done a shit, yet act like they were the one wooping some guys ass. I just want to beat you to a fucking pulp. Don't take credits when you haven't done shit. Your master may woop my ass, but I will probably woop yours.
@Southpaw4warrior I am not a Karateka. Ill mention. :) It is true that some Dojos can have a bad Syllabus of Training. A Good Dojo, will have an extreme distinction between Training and Competition, however.
@Caeviens I wasn't really aiming that to you. Cuz I could see on how you wrote you were in fact not a karateka. You wrote "They", and like I said, if you were a karateka you would have wrote "We also put our heads trough concrete". That was my whole point, it's the same if ppl's favourite team wins in hockey or in football. They say "We won". And that is the feeling some karate user gives me when they say karate rules and why. They are more like supporters then fighters according to me.
@Southpaw4warrior Ah. Yes, I see that alot. It tends to be in Karatekas (Not all, of course. But a lot), Muay Thai Supporters (Not as oftne the Practitioners, but its fans can be ridiculous), and MMA Supporters (Sometimes even the Practitioners). They refuse to hear any criticism of their Form, and Defend it without listening to contradiction. I know what kind of People youre referring to.
@Caeviens Well, for me that depends not on the sport, but rather that ppl who joins are stupid. I mean, there are some karateka as well that are truly respecting others choice of martial art. For me, they are real karate users. But as said before, karate is popular. The more popular, the more ppl join, the more ppl joining, the ratio of idiots increase. As well as the ratio of real karatekas of course. Or it should be like that... To many idiots to decide...
@Southpaw4warrior Yeah. I imagine its the same issue with the others. I still cant decide if its some kind of Insecurity, or just being Zealotrous. Heh.
@Caeviens First of all. I don't believe it's about insecurity, bcuz that usually have the effect to shut ppl up. And secondly, I don't know what the word Zealotrous mean... I'm swedish after all. English are not my native language.
@Caeviens Ok, now I know what it means. And if I had to choose something. It would be that. I believe ppl cant except things that are going against their teachings, due to the fact that means they have then never been "superior" as they though. And that scares them. Bcuz now they know that they have done things that have had opposite effect on what they wanted to achieve. Meaning they have wasted time of their life on nothing of value. And no one wants to be a loser.
@Southpaw4warrior Precisely. Much like how many MMA Fans tend to deny the existance of Multiple Attacker Self Defense Scenarios, and imply that an MMA Practitioner is some kind of Street Warrior. Its slightly amusing, actually. But hey - This is why Cross Training exists. If your Form doesnt teach a full range of Methods which arent reliant on Rules and Limitations, Crosstrain, and flesh out the gaps.
@Caeviens Yeah, I agree on that. But that are a thing existing in almost every martial art. Ppl train for competitions instead survivor on the streets. Tough I now train MMA, I tested Aikido yesterday, b4 my MMA training. And the teacher there talked about being attacked from several attackers. But however, considering MMA stands for mixed martial art. It's hard to judge if the guy/girl have trained MMA solely like one martial art or if they have experience from many differents.
@Southpaw4warrior Yeah, thats the other factor. It depends on the Mixture itself. Ive seen MMA People who pretty much strike to score, and others who seem like proper Martial Artists. It can work both ways.
@Caeviens Well, I admit tough that I fight mostly to be able to compete in UFC or K1, and that I like the thought of being a force to count on if something happens (for the ladies)... But could you please tell me what martial art you're training. I'm curious about what experience you have. Mine (in years): 1,5 tkd, 0,5 Hung gar, 0,5 boxing and now MMA. (Plus a half year MMA, but I trained that at the same time as my last half year of tkd).
@Southpaw4warrior Tae Kwon-Do. Albeit, not the WTF or ITF. Not an Independent, either. Suffice to say, its the biggest TKD Organisation in Australia (Which doesnt say much, honestly), and teaches TKD as it was intended for the Korean Special Forces. It incorporates... Just about everything you can think of. Punches, Kicks, Knees, Elbows, Open Handed, Chokeholds, Takedowns, Submissions, Jointlocks, Wrestling, Pins, Blocking (Lots of Blocking), and some quite severe tactics. Thisll take 2 replies
@Southpaw4warrior In the past, ive tried Shotokan Karate, Wushu, ITF TKD, Judo, and Boxing, and now this Form. In that order. I still Box from time to time, but I primarily train TKD 5 Days per Week.
@Caeviens 5 days a week! How long are those lessons? Cuz I only train MMA 3 times a week, 2 hours for each training. I train sometimes at home tough. But for how long have you trained martial art all together?
@Southpaw4warrior Monday and Wednesday and 1hr. Tuesday and Thursday are 3 Hours. Friday is 1-3 Hours depending on how many Instructors show up. I rest on the Weekend. TKD (This time) is 11 Months. Boxing I did as a main style for 4 Months. Karate i did for 3 Months, Wushu i didnt really keep up, and Judo i did for 2 months (But i mainly stopped it due to moving towns). So nearly 2 Years in total.
@Caeviens What?! Surely the trainings are most spending on techniques right? I mean, sick no matter how you look on it... But I would love to fight you. Bcuz, your experience is almost like mine. If our weight are the same, then a fight would be perfect to check how good we actually are. Specially for me. I have only sparred against guys taller, heavier, older then me, and they all had approximately 25 years of knowledge... Not fun having your ass handed every training... :/
This vid reminds me of a game here in Sweden called Viking. Flip a coin, the winner hits the opponents shoulder, he hits you, you hit him, he hits you... and so on till someone gives up. The only different here is that, it is to the gut, and some kicks may occur. It doesn't feel like karate user are strong due to their martial art. But due to the physical training. Which any person can train without a trainer. Like sit-ups at home...
To all shit heads who will belittle all martial arts in the future, I would like to educate all of your rotten brains that in fighting we do not look at the martial art used by the fighter. it all depends on the fighter if he/she has the will and still has the ability to keep on going. So stop saying shit that this shit is better than this shit because in reality there's really no better art used only better fighters. GOT IT YOU IMBECILES?!
@fuzetzu26 I agree completely with You on this, as a matter of fact even someone with no martial arts background can completely mess up a trained martial artist with a little luck, there is allways those stray bullets thet no one counts on
You're very correct. However, Kyokushin Karate that emphasizes 100,000 times of training for one technique is certain to win over Taekwondo, which emphasizes 100,000 techniques for one time of training.
@NovaCaneKills11 yes they are taught. I had my first lesson today, and the sensei demonstrated a neck punch. He didn't actually hit him their, of course.
@NovaCaneKills11 If the body repaired and healed better we might could use these techniques in kumite practice but unfortunately these moves leave rather bad cuts. Intensity is good but got to temper it somehow in someway or else everyone get's too badly injured to continue.
I´m a shotokan practitioner. Why do you think using head strikes is wrong in a self-defense situation? Also: would it be allowed to do a hit, but not a punch? for instance, a haito uchi to the temple is right, but a gyaku-tsuki to the nose is wrong? Thanks in advance.
@borgeision Punches to the face are not WRONG , during training we train to do face punches ,jodan tsuki, but several years ago , when face punches were alowed in kyokushin competitions there were a lot of accidents and bloody noses , since Kyokushin practitioners are hardening their fists from hitting hard stuff during training.
In real life we use Jodan Tsuki , just not in the competitions.
Also, for further information, in Shotokan, Jodan punches are not well regarded (from my point of view), since they leave your torso fairly vulnerable. I´d preffer to punch the torso (solar plexus) and keep the kicks for the head.
If I were a wing chun guy, I'd fight that tank of a Kyokushin to the sides where it'll be harder for him to fight... I just have a feeling that it's way too focused on forward movement. :/ Maybe it's just me. I'm a kendoka, mind you.
@samoth 86 actually, wing chun teaches quantity to match quality. and wing chun doesnt dismiss quality at all; it just promotes speed over power - and thats not necessary quantity over quality. 10 weak, fast punches on target would be quality over 1 strong punch missed. the time it takes for to throw a hard punch and pull it back for another is enough time for 10 punches equaling the quantity of that hard punch. just offerin a thot (not an opinion). and im currently studying wing chun in china.
i love kyokushin kumites . its different from other karates . other karates are so boring they hit . return to position , bow , hit , return ..... etc . but i'm not saying they are lousy . i like shotokan .
@555hansy That's more of a grievance against point sparring. Kyokushin do the odd point sparring competition too, but mostly focus on continuous matches, don't be too harsh on the point sparring though, it's a good way of developing accuracy.
@555hansy I find that kind of kumite boring too, even if it has its sides. But there are other karate styles that do this kind of kumite, or a little different but not the point sparring.
I like the raw power and grunt of kyokushin. The focus on building the spirit and will of its practitioners. But its not for me, though I would like to train up for and enter a kyokushin competition oneday.
@Zediogorula Well, I have respect for all other martial arts especially krav maga. In competitions though many martial art "techniques" are not allowed because we would all die or be seriously injured right? You wouldn't apply a knee stomp and ear slap to you'r lil' brother if you were doing some friendly sparring.
@Zediogorula well, krav maga's used for life-or-death combat. and u'd hav to be PRETTY GOOD to EASILY DEFEAT those moves. i hear u man. i practice wing chun, and theoretically, i got a move to defeat any of those, but its different from wat u see from the sidelines compared to when u're in the actual match. ive been in tons of matches, and only after i got like a year of hard experience am i able to successfully do some of the fancier moves. and thats just the icing on the cake.
hey, I was wondering what the first 2 fights were? They don't look like kyokushin (the stances look shotokan), what is this? are it the first few full contact kyokushin fights or something?
bloatsch I have to agree, i have a instructor that teaches wing chun and he's pretty arrogrant, but i stay for the workout. myself i mainly practice TKD. One last thing Kyokushin is freaking amazing wish they have something like that in Texas.

@bloatsch Nothing went wrong in wing chun , it's just the practitioners who say stupid things.Yip Man never said things like that, in fact his teachings is part of the reason that Bruce Lee started to experiment and learn what works for him in the first place. Every martial art is effective when it is used properly and it's been my experience that there are two types of martial arts(in my opinion):Hard and Soft.you need both and the mental training to be a complete fighter
@bigal1100 Sorry, didn't mean to say that in wing chun itself as a martial art something went wrong. It's just as you say.. it's the practitioners who don't get the message.
I'm a practitioner of Shotokan Karate and in my art there are probably even more stupid people than in kung - fu. One main problem is that it has been transformed in a almost pure competitive sport.. and you know the philosophy behind the art has been somehow forgotten and aren't teached anymore
I'm kyokushin myself and it's very good training, but hardly a fighting art. There's a rule against hitting the head and this makes it an akward style. However, it's easier to adapt to real fighting than it is to go from real fighting to kyokoshin.
To all you mma and wfc nuts out there. This may not be as spectacular as some other martial arts fights but keep in mind, all those kicks and punches do serious damage. It's a striking martial art in the end.
No comparison WC to Kyokushin, WC has evolved, we now have ground fight elements,so we have the whole system of fighting. Most of traditional arts, isnt effective anymore, w those stance of combat, look UFC, has prooven it. Kung Fu has SANDA and SAN SHOU, Cung Le is the proof. I prefer MUaY Thai over KYOKUSHIN, if we are talking about, the one strike w quality. All videos i ve watched, KYOKUSHIN always looses against MUAY THAI.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@samoth86, Hahahaha, you punch one harder in my abdomen, and i give you 10 as you say weaker on your SOLAR PLEXUS, let see who fall first..!! come man, your art doesnt even teach you what is human body about,the weak points...!!
Wing Chun is scientific art, not for competition w rules,it is designed to kill any size.
@nickfingers If you would WATCH the video, you would notice, that the strikes are fast. In fact, Kyokushin is most about taking hits. so weak punches are easy to take, even on the solar plexus. who said Karateka's dont strike on the plexus? we train for strength, and speed. Kyokushin is a simple art. It is about discipline. Watch a 100 man kumite and say it is shit. Determination, it is. And yes, we do circular punches. we block. Stop bitching or i delete your comments. Osu.
@samoth86 OSU!! Well said, I to am a kyokushin karate-ka (or I could say gakouse, same meaning). I hate it when shitheads boast about their martial arts being better than ours (or anyone else's for that matter).
I even saw that meaningless fight on kung fu vs kyokushin, obviously that kid did not strengthen himself properly.
Anyway, its not about which martial art is best, it's how you use it that counts :).
@samoth86 all traditionals karatekas no metter of style mys havee very strong body....and we learn to strike in solar plexus!! but in fight it is very hard to puncg in middle( solar plexus) especially when your opponent is blocking your strikes, and solar plexus is easy to guard.....and karatekas are striking everywhere on opponent body where he is open....if he is open in sol. plex. domain I will strike there, but in the heat of battle (fight) you are just striking, no time for thinking!! OSU!
@nickfingers actually what you say is not true, mas oyama proved it by fighting what was supposed to be the best winshu master in china, this a fact, I am myself doing winshu, but if the punch are fast and precise, there's something you miss, kyukushin is about sttrengh, so we may punch them 30 time in the solar plexus, a real kyukushin master will not fall for that, because his training is made for that
@nickfingers there's 10 weak points on the head, about 5 for the torso maybe 2 in the legs. Last time I fought a Wing Chun follower I threw the frist punch... right in the solar plexus.... with that I stopped his punche flurry before it begins... an then knee to the solar plexus... he stayed down, ``the ultimate truth`` kung fu fighter (except a few styles) are weaklings in front of the might of kyokushin.
@nickfingers by the way.... the famous Wing Chun's flurry punches never worked on me. Wing Chun is the martial art I despise above all others. It's meaningless existence is an insult to the Art of war
@nickfingers Let me ask you this,could you find my weak points and strike them with maximum precision when you are attacked with assauld of strikes...I don't think so and even if you try to strike them you'll miss and kyokushin fighters are one of most endurable...Result: you'll probably lose a fight
@nickfingers you should punch a kyokushin sensei in the solar plexus or sempai,someone of this discipline who trains really hard and for many many years,it's like you'd hit a stone, you should try it before you talk then meditate over it and only after you've done this talk about kyokushin.....
@nickfingers these kinda post grew in number after the silly "Yip man" movie. Silly. go to any expert in martial art, any at all and they'll tell you that karate isn't bad, especially!!! kyokushin!!! if u'd want to practice muay thai, and it's not near where you live, people with experience would point you to a kyokushin club instead.
wing chun was made by a woman, to be able to defend against men, only thing is if that man is very fit, the system is flawed!
@nickfingers btw! If you train wing chun under a half-decent master! he or she would tell you to respect other arts and not do these kind of silly comments!
so with all do respect! shut your tiny mouth and practice the art that fits you.
@nickfingers i love running into arrogant people like this especially if they come and challenge people at my gym they always run their mouths and get beaten down you should say this to kareteka or other martial artists in real life challenge them and see whos right
@nickfingers i give you one and you will puke your guts. Show me one video of a wing chun practitioner actually scoring a real victory over another martial artist.
@samoth86...watch this video and tell me if the chain punching is useless..!!watch?v=HjqjTyG_p90
WC is designed to fight any size, in kyokushin it is all about to measure the stengtness and power, and so the stronger one always win..!! that is the point.
@samoth86 ..haha dud, any punch even stragiht or circular, will hurt you if who gives it well trainned, the video that you showed me is kyokushin against other style of kung fu, who dance arround instead of fight w no foundation and stance..!! one quality and strong punch is devastating, but against one opponent and bigger then you, it is nothing..!! WC principle is speed and directness, the CHIN PUNCHING is simple,and when you throw u still keep your centerline..!!
@DFCcaptain3 The meaning is "the ultimate truth". It means getting the most out of life, trough discipline and training. Kyokushin provides mental training, above physical. The more you train beyound the limit of one-self, the bigger the mental toughness will be in real life. It is not about "I am better than the rest", it is about I am better than ever before. Osu
the point is, in KYOKU, you use, strengtness vs strengtness, of course, who is stronger physically wins, coz you stay there and just take the hit..!! in WING CHUN, a weaker person, can bit the stronger one, coz we use the oponent force, it is all about the science of fighting, not just measure the POWER like KYOKUSHIT.....HEHEHE..!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
to all kyokushit, if you think your strikes are all powerfull, find a master of WING CHUN, and fight w him, you will see, you ll never land even a sing PUNCH or KICK,....you have to learn the art of FIGHTING, not just KICK n PUNCH all the time,indeed, haha,you say ,CHAIN PUNCHING is gay, if you do research, fine WING CHUN BING FA, vs KYOU KU SHIN, the kyoku shin is beaten hardly....!!
@nickfingers I never said wing chun is worse. I just know that kyokushin is a tough martial art, obviously you never trained kyokushin. You chain punch, wich provides a flurry of jabs, generally weaker ones. We don't want quantity, but quality punches. Better one hard punch, than 10 weak ones. watch this: watch?v=aDJtj_z-JlY
@samoth86 What's wrong with that nick guy? comparing FUCKING kyokushin with wing ping wang chun omfg... have you ever seen a wing ping wang guy punching? like a fucking homo... KYOKUSHIN is the best in all aspects.
@samoth86: These practitioners of Kyokushin Karate are very powerful, strong, and tough minded indeed. The competition looks really fierce as well! Thank you for showing this video!

I would never fight like this. You guys go high, I go low. You guys go in the air, I rush in and push you off balance. You lock a joint, I break said joint. Competitions = fail. I disagree about size comment.
MADHater01 4 months ago
@MADHater01 I appreciate Kempo feel free to stand by it, but to be honest competition is where you face the most aggression. You get exposed to people who do things slightly differently-if you're in an open style competition completely differently. I would be more concerned about fighting a boxer who does nothing but compete than somebody who has only ever pretended to strike their opponent because their moves are "too deadly". Half an inch makes a low kick a knee breaker.
psychedashell 4 months ago
@psychedashell We do full contact. Only a few things we can't do which is probably the same as you guys... No eyes, throat, temples, kicking to knees, and or blocking into joints; destroying any soft tissues, joints, bones. I mean? There's nothing better than getting 'physical' from time to time and enjoying a good friendly fight?! :)
MADHater01 4 months ago
@MADHater01 More than likely they are pretty similar. There's a Kenpo group that comes to our state knockdown tournament to compete, they invite everyone there to compete in their state event too. I believe some of the closer groups take the offer, but I'm 4 hours away from where they hold it, so I've never been. Shame too, I'd like to compete under their rules.
psychedashell 4 months ago
@psychedashell Kempo's a lot of fun! :) Also, the terms :Kenpo, and Kempo refer to the same things. It's purely idioms.. Doesn't matter how its said.. Finally, I'd love to compete and am not afraid of getting my ass handed too me. It's just my Masters do not see relevance in competing. And I'd have to play by rules... This is why I cannot compete, well, mostly the disrespectful part to my style and masters.
MADHater01 4 months ago
@MADHater01 Yeah, that's a hard call. It's not disrespectful to your style because there are Kempo clubs who do compete in anything that's avaliable to them with the belief that doing everything means never specialising on one rule set and sooner or later they use everything under pressure. But if your instructors say no and you don't want to go against them that's pretty much the end of it.

@psychedashell Very well said. Our Master says: 'Why bother competing and playing by there rules? We don't play by rules for points.'

Plus, strong body, weak head. I mean, I have taken several kicks to the head, and I have never been tko'ed nor ko'ed from that. Once I got two fears kick to my head in matter of one minute, but was still able to beat my opponent. In this video they drop like flies. Then just think what a punch can do to the head... Which in my opinion are better to throw to the head...

@Caeviens "They", don't you mean "some"? There are very few karateka who can do that. And on that point I will also say, the most popular martial art is karate. Here were I live, the amount of karate dojos equals all the amount of other martial arts dojos together. Yet, despised that karate being so popular, there are few of them whom are truly skilled. It's like comparing Usa and Sweden in hockey. It's more ppl in NYC then whole Sweden. Yet, Sweden woops Usa'a asses.

@Caeviens Well, I blame the belt system 4 that. Ppl are aiming more 2 get the techniques correct 2 be able 2 advance in belt colour rather then be able 2 use it in a real fight. That's way it looks good, but it lacks power & determination. They know how 2 do the technique in air, on bags, boards & ice blocks. But not how 2 use it on a moving opponent. Hitting real flesh is so much different 2 hit then all the things above. & when standing infront an opponent who WANTS 2 truly destroy you...

That was my whole point, it's the same if ppl's favourite team wins in hockey or in football. They say "We won". And that is the feeling some karate user gives me when they say karate rules and why. They are more like supporters then fighters according to me.
Southpaw4warrior 5 months ago
@Southpaw4warrior Ah. Yes, I see that alot. It tends to be in Karatekas (Not all, of course.

They refuse to hear any criticism of their Form, and Defend it without listening to contradiction. I know what kind of People youre referring to.
Caeviens 5 months ago
@Caeviens Well, for me that depends not on the sport, but rather that ppl who joins are stupid. I mean, there are some karateka as well that are truly respecting others choice of martial art. For me, they are real karate users. But as said before, karate is popular. The more popular, the more ppl join, the more ppl joining, the ratio of idiots increase. As well as the ratio of real karatekas of course. Or it should be like that... To many idiots to decide...

@Southpaw4warrior Yeah. I imagine its the same issue with the others. I still cant decide if its some kind of Insecurity, or just being Zealotrous. Heh.

Caeviens 5 months ago
@Caeviens Ok, now I know what it means. And if I had to choose something. It would be that. I believe ppl cant except things that are going against their teachings, due to the fact that means they have then never been "superior" as they though. And that scares them. Bcuz now they know that they have done things that have had opposite effect on what they wanted to achieve. Meaning they have wasted time of their life on nothing of value. And no one wants to be a loser.

@Southpaw4warrior Precisely. Much like how many MMA Fans tend to deny the existance of Multiple Attacker Self Defense Scenarios, and imply that an MMA Practitioner is some kind of Street Warrior. Its slightly amusing, actually. But hey - This is why Cross Training exists. If your Form doesnt teach a full range of Methods which arent reliant on Rules and Limitations, Crosstrain, and flesh out the gaps.
Caeviens 5 months ago
@Caeviens Yeah, I agree on that. But that are a thing existing in almost every martial art. Ppl train for competitions instead survivor on the streets. Tough I now train MMA, I tested Aikido yesterday, b4 my MMA training. And the teacher there talked about being attacked from several attackers. But however, considering MMA stands for mixed martial art. It's hard to judge if the guy/girl have trained MMA solely like one martial art or if they have experience from many differents.
Southpaw4warrior 5 months ago
@Southpaw4warrior Yeah, thats the other factor. It depends on the Mixture itself. Ive seen MMA People who pretty much strike to score, and others who seem like proper Martial Artists. It can work both ways.

@Caeviens Well, I admit tough that I fight mostly to be able to compete in UFC or K1, and that I like the thought of being a force to count on if something happens (for the ladies)...

@Southpaw4warrior Tae Kwon-Do. Albeit, not the WTF or ITF. Not an Independent, either.

@Southpaw4warrior Monday and Wednesday and 1hr. Tuesday and Thursday are 3 Hours. Friday is 1-3 Hours depending on how many Instructors show up. I rest on the Weekend. TKD (This time) is 11 Months. Boxing I did as a main style for 4 Months. Karate i did for 3 Months, Wushu i didnt really keep up, and Judo i did for 2 months (But i mainly stopped it due to moving towns). So nearly 2 Years in total.

@Caeviens What?! Surely the trainings are most spending on techniques right? I mean, sick no matter how you look on it... But I would love to fight you. Bcuz, your experience is almost like mine.

I have only sparred against guys taller, heavier, older then me, and they all had approximately 25 years of knowledge... Not fun having your ass handed every training... :/

This vid reminds me of a game here in Sweden called Viking. Flip a coin, the winner hits the opponents shoulder, he hits you, you hit him, he hits you... and so on till someone gives up. The only different here is that, it is to the gut, and some kicks may occur. It doesn't feel like karate user are strong due to their martial art. But due to the physical training. Which any person can train without a trainer. Like sit-ups at home...

5. Tettsui Komekami-bottom fist to head

DevilLowU 5 months ago
@borgeision Punches to the face are not WRONG , during training we train to do face punches ,jodan tsuki, but several years ago , when face punches were alowed in kyokushin competitions there were a lot of accidents and bloody noses , since Kyokushin practitioners are hardening their fists from hitting hard stuff during training.
In real life we use Jodan Tsuki , just not in the competitions.
dewylionnn 5 months ago
@dewylionnn
Thank you! Your explanation was excellent.
Also, for further information, in Shotokan, Jodan punches are not well regarded (from my point of view), since they leave your torso fairly vulnerable. I´d preffer to punch the torso (solar plexus) and keep the kicks for the head.

@samoth 86 actually, wing chun teaches quantity to match quality. and wing chun doesnt dismiss quality at all; it just promotes speed over power - and thats not necessary quantity over quality. 10 weak, fast punches on target would be quality over 1 strong punch missed. the time it takes for to throw a hard punch and pull it back for another is enough time for 10 punches equaling the quantity of that hard punch. just offerin a thot (not an opinion). and im currently studying wing chun in china.

Kyokushin is a simple art. It is about discipline. Watch a 100 man kumite and say it is shit. Determination, it is. And yes, we do circular punches. we block. Stop bitching or i delete your comments.

we do train to punch the solar plexus, we train for it hours in a row doing nothing but punches sometimes just trying to be perfect.

@nickfingers Let me ask you this,could you find my weak points and strike them with maximum precision when you are attacked with assauld of strikes...I don't think so and even if you try to strike them you'll miss and kyokushin fighters are one of most endurable...Result: you'll probably lose a fight

@nickfingers you should punch a kyokushin sensei in the solar plexus or sempai,someone of this discipline who trains really hard and for many many years,it's like you'd hit a stone, you should try it before you talk then meditate over it and only after you've done this talk about kyokushin.....

@nickfingers these kinda post grew in number after the silly "Yip man" movie. Silly. go to any expert in martial art, any at all and they'll tell you that karate isn't bad, especially!!! kyokushin!!! if u'd want to practice muay thai, and it's not near where you live, people with experience would point you to a kyokushin club instead.
wing chun was made by a woman, to be able to defend against men, only thing is if that man is very fit, the system is flawed!

@nickfingers btw! If you train wing chun under a half-decent master! he or she would tell you to respect other arts and not do these kind of silly comments!
so with all do respect! shut your tiny mouth and practice the art that fits you.

@samoth86...watch this video and tell me if the chain punching is useless..!!watch?v=HjqjTyG_p90
WC is designed to fight any size, in kyokushin it is all about to measure the stengtness and power, and so the stronger one always win..!! that is the point.

@samoth86 ..haha dud, any punch even stragiht or circular, will hurt you if who gives it well trainned, the video that you showed me is kyokushin against other style of kung fu, who dance arround instead of fight w no foundation and stance..!! one quality and strong punch is devastating, but against one opponent and bigger then you, it is nothing..!! WC principle is speed and directness, the CHIN PUNCHING is simple,and when you throw u still keep your centerline..!!

Note: I am not disrespecting any martial art here, I have been training martial arts myself.
I have been reading the Kyokushin philosophy, and one thing that I missed was harmony (Ai) with eachother.
And the one thing that stood out ALL the time was 'I am best, better than the rest.'
What is this about exactly?
And where is the mental part of the martial art?
Just some questions....

@DFCcaptain3 The meaning is "the ultimate truth". It means getting the most out of life, trough discipline and training. Kyokushin provides mental training, above physical. The more you train beyound the limit of one-self, the bigger the mental toughness will be in real life. It is not about "I am better than the rest", it is about I am better than ever before. Osu

the point is, in KYOKU, you use, strengtness vs strengtness, of course, who is stronger physically wins, coz you stay there and just take the hit..!! in WING CHUN, a weaker person, can bit the stronger one, coz we use the oponent force, it is all about the science of fighting, not just measure the POWER like KYOKUSHIT.....HEHEHE..!!

This comment has received too many negative votes show
to all kyokushit, if you think your strikes are all powerfull, find a master of WING CHUN, and fight w him, you will see, you ll never land even a sing PUNCH or KICK,....you have to learn the art of FIGHTING, not just KICK n PUNCH all the time,indeed, haha,you say ,CHAIN PUNCHING is gay, if you do research, fine WING CHUN BING FA, vs KYOU KU SHIN, the kyoku shin is beaten hardly....!!

@nickfingers I never said wing chun is worse. I just know that kyokushin is a tough martial art, obviously you never trained kyokushin. You chain punch, wich provides a flurry of jabs, generally weaker ones. We don't want quantity, but quality punches. Better one hard punch, than 10 weak ones. watch this: watch?v=aDJtj_z-JlY
Tell me, is it about style, or hardness?
