I am a Kung Fu practitioner, but have watched thousands videos of other martial arts, and I must say: Kyokushin rocks! Ahmmm, I haven´t said this before, but... Osu!
@allshallbelosttoyou Well they are allowed to kick in the head ; D My opinion is that this kind of training gives you the strength to absorb any kind of blows with you body and you can focus your protection solely on your head. With all the hardening they do, they're forearms and fists are like stone and can easily block your shots. Also they actually use boxing gloves at some gyms and practice like kickboxers or boxers.
I would fking just punch into their jaws when they are so close to me or just a front kick into their stomach and make sure they are away from me,and not hit their chest like this,this wont hurt much...........go on a combat and you will be KO before you are able to do any damage
@DoraemonSugoi Yeah, but they fight like this against other kyokushinkai karate-kas. They can withstand these body punches. I'm a yellow belt Shotokan karateka and shotokan is more technical with vital points aiming. But probably these guys will be able to take your mae geri and jaw hit in order to get close to you. Their technique is poor compared to shotokan, but their upper body strength is not to be disregarded.
mmm yeh i guess u are some what right ... thou not in my shoes & situation i rather not anyways its kinda rele expensive (gkr) espcili (per session) compared with the other martial arts i have in my area so i wouldnt waste my monei on anything half decent so for me its not worth trying since u cant even try it out without having to paying lah ... Thnx for sharing a/ur point (≧ヮ≦)
i am from shobayashi shorin ryu and we train very similar to this although some sparring sessions involve face punches and showcasing some grappling techniques
@KarateWrestler205 goju ryu, uechi ryu, shorin ryu , shorinji ryu are okinawan styles.in all of these styles you have many of kumite disciplines!! one of tham is IRI KUMI or full kontakt with strikes in the head,and Mas oyama took this discipline from okinawan karate and made a competitions !!and of that discipline he made a new karate style...but actually it is one of disciplines of okinawan karate..but there were no compet. on okinawa.and Oyama made that hapenned, with no hedan strikes
@TheFudokan head* ...all karate styles are from goju ryu, uechi ryu shorin ryu and shorinji ryu-okinawan styles!!! and full kontakt on okinawa is just to see how your body is strong!!! Oyama made karate from 1 discipline of kumite of okinawan karate....but bcs it is made for competitions, no head strikes allowed, and that made kyokushin very unrealistic!!but in dojos you practise with head strikes!!and when Oyama did 300man kumite, he had realistic distance, bcs he was training ok okinawa too!
@KamikazeiOo I did GKR for 2 years about 4 years ago, and I started kyokushin just recently and the begginers classes are almost exactly the same, and as a result my basic techniques for kyokushin are much higher than the rest of the people just starting, and the sensei was very impressed. Styles don't make the fighter, and granted GKR may be notorous for being a chain like mcdonalds, but it is better than sitting around on youtube wishing you were doing something.
@xV13TCONGx I have done Shotokan for the last 13 years and am a nidan in it.After watching knockdown Karate and researching on kyokushin4life for sometime, yesterday I attended my first Kyokushin class! Boy, was it TOUGH! Great for strength and cardio, I got absolutely battered in the kumite, round after round, but I loved it!! I intend to go back, despite the aches and bruises and get fitter and stronger and work on bettering myself. We're not all dogmatic, I just LOVE KARATE. RESPECT, OSU!!
just train, learn to master your own body...find some good people to train and have fun.....try not to quit over the years and nobody can disrespect ya for that
H0useMouse, I kind of agree with what you are saying. It is easy to see how even tournaments with lax rules (UFC) are unrealistic. Tournaments are not a full reflection of one's skill as a martial artist. I believe in being balanced as possible, but people train for different reasons. Some people do train just to compete and that's fine. Also with few grappling techniques, a lot is missing even if you do holistically learn Kyokushin. As you know, most actual fights end up on the ground quickly.
I heard these guys have glass jaws because they don't take punches to the face during training. other than that I hear they are pretty much tanks...so why not throw on head gear & gloves & train with head strikes?
I dont understand somethin. If this suppose to be the "Strongest & toughest" karate how come they can stand toe to toe with each otha? Shouldnt they be able to knock down their opponet with one punch or kick?
Because being strong doesnt just mean being able to hit hard, it also means to be able to be hit hard too... in kyokushin we spend just as much time taking punches as we do giving them!!
I want a help friends. You guys are experienced enough can any one of you tell me if it'd be a good idea to learn Kyokushin at 33 years of age. I am 33 n willing to start training but it's a very high contact sport so is it recommendable. Please answer me if anyone can throw some light. Thanks
@kivaavikkiva Hey bro I am 32(33 in july), and I returned to karate(not kyokushin, different style) over a year ago after a 12-year hiatus. I'm now an orange belt, because the teachers saw fit to let me double-grade as a white belt(went two ranks up instead of one), regardless of my age. And I'm the youngest adult in my class. Most of the regular students in my class are in their 40s to late 50's. Age is nothing, my friend.
karate spirit is of great importance. no matter who wins or loses, dies or stays alive, - most important is training, process, fight and the "Way" itself. When you are free from idea of winning and losing, you are immersed in the spirit of Budo and enjoy every moment of the Way, irrespective of winning or losing. Hear these words and you will become great karateka.
I'm a white belt. I just started three weeks ago, although I joined for a day, then quit when I was like 6. Now I'm more mature and it's easier to learn.
Yup. Isnt he cool? Sometimes he would lightly kick my stomach and I would fly back around a meter. Most likely because I'm small girl. But still funny.
1960s when thailand and japan were competing to see which country had the strongest arts, of all the karate schools, only kyokushin accepted the challenge and defeated them
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
ehm... what history do you study? firstly kyokushin didn't accepted the chellange because oyama's students were too weak, only Yoshiji Soeno (who was training in Thailand) and Kenji Kurosaki (Japanese Kickboxer) agreed to fight for Kyokushin's name. That's how it was. And please, don't say lies about "power" of kyokushin.
Its as much a martial art as any other. Honestly I'd rather take a groin shot from a krav maga fighter than a spear hand to the throat from one of these guys
From what ive heard its not unusuall for some fighters to use gloves if the other guy has a tournament coming up. To minimize the injury risk so to speak.
all i can say is at the start when they are doing the river punch training more than half of those guys aren't doing proper punches... and the know they are being filmed... It was a poor start to a semi interesting video....... Kyokushin Kai = the bomb.
Exactly what MauriceXVX said! if your doing karate and its not full contact, then you wont stand a chance in a real fight! and you sure as hell wont stand a chance against a kyokushin fighter! even if hes only white belt!
i would've folded-up if that kind of punch were to hit me..
i practice shotokan karate.. and i've also taken my share of beating.. but shotokan focuses on the aspect of form and art.. as to these hardcore karetekas (kyokushin) they practice more on kumite and more kumite..
Yeah i practise kyokushin and im having my share of beating since my master is very strickt , and i got to tell you , after wot i experience from our trainings , you fear less and less pain each time (:
i do kyokushin, and we still focus on the traditional aspect, we still practise form and katas just as much as we practice kumites and hard body training! OSU!!!
hmmm dono y but the physical structure of a person depends on the martial arts he does i have noticed so far. In my opinion People who do karate have muscular and big type of body so that they can get hit and throw hard hits, Taekwondo people having skinny legs or long fast legs and people are nt muscular as the ones who do karate bt are faster and taller and dont think they can take hit like karate people can, Thai boxing skini bt muscular body and skini legs. Hmm wonda if it realli does relate
but kyokushin is also for the bold and it makes you really strong it's a good self defence if you like to throw hands now shotokan karate is also a good self defence cuz one hit to the face and it's lights out
Think about if that punch from Nakamura Makoto at 1:18 was to the face. Probably lights out as well. And he wasn't even throwing that full power to the students chest. It's not hard for Kyokushin fighters to aim for the face instead of the body with those devastating shots.
kyokushin fighters aer tough - but they lack punching to the face - that's a TOTAL flaw - even if they can kick to the face - you fight differently if you know the guy can't smash your face in with hand (not just punches) techniques.
I agree with the guy above. You do fight differently when you know you won't be punched in the face. It's the same with kendo fighters. They don't fight like the samurai used to fight, because they know they won't be hurt.
not really alot of the guys there take or may haven taken krav maga or takkeyon maybe silat they all come from different backgroung and it all so depends on your sensei mine actually used to take krav maga and okinawain karate so he'll use those to teach us kyokushin is a martial arts for brawlers like me but it's still karate and we do get taught many valuable self defence techniques
Older generation Kyokushin Instructors teach the self defense techniques including knife defense & Aiki Jujitsu (joint locks & takedowns) in training. However many of the younger generation Instructors & Dojos focus too much on the tournament training & they are gradually losing the original techniques as a result. I started Kyokushin in '82 in New York City at 12yrs old & was fortunate to receive the old style training, achieving 3rd Dan w/27yrs experience & have 1st hand knowledge of this.
@milnusthegnome Osu! I trained under Sensei Eddie Frazier (my direct Sensei) & Soshu Shigeru Oyama (my Sensei's instructor). We were in Westchester, NY & went to Honbu in Manhattan a lot to train together with Soshu Oyama.
@OMGHuygens Ask your Sensei to show you more of the Kyokushin self defense techniques and ask if he could include more of them in the regular Dojo training. It's ok to ask to be shown something or at least ask about things. As long as you do it respectfully. He/she should have no problem with this at all.
@ytacc0 Kyokushin tournaments are not to play with. If you want to have some fun try Shotokan or Taekwondo. Kyokushin can get very serious, and can get you seriously injured. Don't do a martial art just for its tournaments. You won't learn much.
@H0useMouse Trust me, i want to get into Kyokushin for everything it has to offer--even the pain. The tournament is where my heart is and Kyokushin is what I want to bring. The best martial artists train for tournaments and they learned more than your average student. I know, it's a game for only the best of the best.
@ytacc0 What I meant was, don't do a MA just to do the tournaments. You'll overlook much getting there. The best partial artists are the best not because they do tournaments, but because they have a rounded approach to life and their chosen MA.
@H0useMouse I do not mean to be rude, have you reached the semifinals of any tournaments yet? The only way to reach that level is to know all the basics, then improved upon. The tournament is not a game, bro, it's a place where only the best practitioners go to prove their beast.
---
I'm sorry, I may have outpaced your advice; but when it comes to the MA world, I know more than the average beast.
---
P.S. There was no spelling error, I do mean to spell "beast." I apologize, but I will continue..
@ytacc0 "The only way to reach that level is to know all the basics, then improved upon." I just said that. What else did you think "well rounded approach" mean...and that would be sis, not bro.
@H0useMouse I suppose you can always rephrase yourself to sound correct. :)
--
Personally, I thought you were talking about an approach to "life." Wait, you did say that. Well, thanks for caring, sis. The only person I want caring for me in this world is my chosen lover. Sorry, you're not the one.
@ytacc0 "a rounded approach to life and their chosen MA." That would include reading. I'm not making myself sound correct, this is what I meant from the beginning. You sounded like you were only training for fighting and nothing else.
@H0useMouse Looks like you are correct. Yes, I am just training for fights and nothing more. If I wanted something else, I would train myself for that else. You know well, except for that part that a MA tournament is for those who train for it, not for someone who don't care a thing about MA.
---
It is possible that you have an innate martial artist spirit within you. How are you connected to this video, if I may I ask?
@ytacc0 I don't understand. You're contradicting yourself. You say you need to know the basics of a Martial Arts, meaning kihon and kata, yet all you do is train for tournaments, which I take to mean only conditioning, cardio and kumite techniques/practice. But without the kihon and proper technique you can't be a top fighter. And one is never done training the basics, you can always do better. I'm kyokushin, that's how the video relates to me. I was looking up tournament training.
@H0useMouse You sound much like you are trying to make fun of me. Truthfully, I thought you were worth much more respect than this. With your skeptical statements toward my way of life, you lose my respect. So, best off if you would just, Fuck-off. Get it?
I will always reply to what you have to say. If you don't like the way I'm treating you, feel free to say something dumb back. You have been doing that the past few comments.
@ytacc0 I'm not trying to make fun of you at all. From where I'm standing you contradicted yourself, and now you're taking what I said defensively. To each his own. Osu.
@H0useMouse What an arrogant fool you've made yourself. I'll take a Karate duel against you anytime, fool. I'll just show you what Humility really is. Then again, you probably are going to ignore this. *shrugs*
what you said pretty much applies to all martial arts styles. That is just the sign of th etimes. Training in martial arts 20 some years ago and sharply different from what is called martial arts nowadays. Nowadays, all styles have sold out to the housewives, the lawyer types and the kids with bad self esteem issues that need a cheerleading teacher more than a martial arts one
@dokokai All traditional styles are vanishing!! many dojos are just practising for tournaments!!! and they are forgeting old style!!! I think that karate should practise 90 percent traditional and 10 percent for competitions!!! Oyamas traditional way of kyokushin is dying!!!! only good karate is on okinawa, bcs there is no competitions...!! I think karateka should go on some competitions but not too much!! than you are training just competition karate!!!traditional karate is losing in onur world
@dokokai because in the old days , a lot of hand to hand combat exist . now half of kyokushin is a sport . try goju ryu , it still has many traditional stuffs
@555hansy I don't need to try Goju. I am a 3rd Dan Kyokushin Instructor with 29 years experience now, trained by Soshu Shigeru Oyama in New York. I have the old style training knowledge & experience. You should have thoroughly read my post before commenting. Osu.
@555hansy No exported martial art still has traditional teachings these days. None of the exported karate styles I came across is very traditional. Even with JFKA to standardize shotokan around the globe it has very little really traditional stuff. Some say that Shotokai is the true traditional karate style, but I don't know about that.
Excellent video and a great example of a teacher getting the most from his students. This is how I teach and train my own students, if they don't push themselves hard through their own effort then I am failing in mine to motivate them.

1960s when thailand and japan were competing to see which country had the strongest arts, of all the karate schools, only kyokushin accepted the challenge and defeated them

ehm... what history do you study? firstly kyokushin didn't accepted the chellange because oyama's students were too weak, only Yoshiji Soeno (who was training in Thailand) and Kenji Kurosaki (Japanese Kickboxer) agreed to fight for Kyokushin's name. That's how it was. And please, don't say lies about "power" of kyokushin.

More of a sport then a self defense system in my opinion.

Its as much a martial art as any other. Honestly I'd rather take a groin shot from a krav maga fighter than a spear hand to the throat from one of these guys

maybe their opponent wants to spar also including punches to the face. gloves are a must in that case:)

From what ive heard its not unusuall for some fighters to use gloves if the other guy has a tournament coming up. To minimize the injury risk so to speak.

pretty cool, this seems like a really hard martial art^^ got to respect the way u guys take those punches.
kvikklunch90 2 years ago
yeah, it's an essential part of kyokushin.
Cause you are constantly getting hit in the stomach, chest and solar plexus. But, it's not fairly hard to train to build up that resiliance.
TheEmperorIsDead 2 years ago
all i can say is at the start when they are doing the river punch training more than half of those guys aren't doing proper punches... and the know they are being filmed... It was a poor start to a semi interesting video....... Kyokushin Kai = the bomb.

i would've folded-up if that kind of punch were to hit me..
i practice shotokan karate.. and i've also taken my share of beating.. but shotokan focuses on the aspect of form and art.. as to these hardcore karetekas (kyokushin) they practice more on kumite and more kumite..
props to these guys..

i do kyokushin, and we still focus on the traditional aspect, we still practise form and katas just as much as we practice kumites and hard body training! OSU!!!
kiwikarateguy 2 years ago
hmmm dono y but the physical structure of a person depends on the martial arts he does i have noticed so far. In my opinion People who do karate have muscular and big type of body so that they can get hit and throw hard hits, Taekwondo people having skinny legs or long fast legs and people are nt muscular as the ones who do karate bt are faster and taller and dont think they can take hit like karate people can, Thai boxing skini bt muscular body and skini legs. Hmm wonda if it realli does relate

paardelul300 3 years ago
but kyokushin is also for the bold and it makes you really strong it's a good self defence if you like to throw hands now shotokan karate is also a good self defence cuz one hit to the face and it's lights out
iamdanigga 3 years ago
Think about if that punch from Nakamura Makoto at 1:18 was to the face. Probably lights out as well. And he wasn't even throwing that full power to the students chest. It's not hard for Kyokushin fighters to aim for the face instead of the body with those devastating shots.

goraisan 3 years ago
kyokushin fighters aer tough - but they lack punching to the face - that's a TOTAL flaw - even if they can kick to the face - you fight differently if you know the guy can't smash your face in with hand (not just punches) techniques.
gomergilligan 3 years ago
not really though head shots arent aloud we still train on the bag to punch the head
iamdanigga 3 years ago
I agree with the guy above. You do fight differently when you know you won't be punched in the face. It's the same with kendo fighters. They don't fight like the samurai used to fight, because they know they won't be hurt.

iamdanigga 3 years ago
i have a question about kyokushin. do you guys practice self defense? like defense against knifes and stuff like that?
haschid 3 years ago
not really alot of the guys there take or may haven taken krav maga or takkeyon maybe silat they all come from different backgroung and it all so depends on your sensei mine actually used to take krav maga and okinawain karate so he'll use those to teach us kyokushin is a martial arts for brawlers like me but it's still karate and we do get taught many valuable self defence techniques
iamdanigga 3 years ago
Older generation Kyokushin Instructors teach the self defense techniques including knife defense & Aiki Jujitsu (joint locks & takedowns) in training. However many of the younger generation Instructors & Dojos focus too much on the tournament training & they are gradually losing the original techniques as a result. I started Kyokushin in '82 in New York City at 12yrs old & was fortunate to receive the old style training, achieving 3rd Dan w/27yrs experience & have 1st hand knowledge of this.

i wish i was taught self defense somewhat more, i do kyokushin to stay in shape and to learn how to defend myself, not to win a tournament
OMGHuygens 1 year ago
@OMGHuygens Ask your Sensei to show you more of the Kyokushin self defense techniques and ask if he could include more of them in the regular Dojo training. It's ok to ask to be shown something or at least ask about things. As long as you do it respectfully. He/she should have no problem with this at all.

ytacc0 1 year ago
@ytacc0 Kyokushin tournaments are not to play with. If you want to have some fun try Shotokan or Taekwondo. Kyokushin can get very serious, and can get you seriously injured. Don't do a martial art just for its tournaments. You won't learn much.
H0useMouse 1 year ago
@H0useMouse Trust me, i want to get into Kyokushin for everything it has to offer--even the pain. The tournament is where my heart is and Kyokushin is what I want to bring. The best martial artists train for tournaments and they learned more than your average student. I know, it's a game for only the best of the best.
ytacc0 1 year ago
@ytacc0 What I meant was, don't do a MA just to do the tournaments. You'll overlook much getting there. The best partial artists are the best not because they do tournaments, but because they have a rounded approach to life and their chosen MA.
H0useMouse 1 year ago
@H0useMouse I do not mean to be rude, have you reached the semifinals of any tournaments yet? The only way to reach that level is to know all the basics, then improved upon. The tournament is not a game, bro, it's a place where only the best practitioners go to prove their beast.
---
I'm sorry, I may have outpaced your advice; but when it comes to the MA world, I know more than the average beast.

P.S. There was no spelling error, I do mean to spell "beast." I apologize, but I will continue..
ytacc0 1 year ago
@ytacc0 "The only way to reach that level is to know all the basics, then improved upon." I just said that. What else did you think "well rounded approach" mean...and that would be sis, not bro.
H0useMouse 1 year ago
@H0useMouse I suppose you can always rephrase yourself to sound correct. :)

Personally, I thought you were talking about an approach to "life." Wait, you did say that. Well, thanks for caring, sis. The only person I want caring for me in this world is my chosen lover. Sorry, you're not the one.

Thanks for your time, HouseMouse.
ytacc0 1 year ago
@ytacc0 "a rounded approach to life and their chosen MA." That would include reading. I'm not making myself sound correct, this is what I meant from the beginning. You sounded like you were only training for fighting and nothing else.
H0useMouse 1 year ago
@H0useMouse Looks like you are correct. Yes, I am just training for fights and nothing more. If I wanted something else, I would train myself for that else. You know well, except for that part that a MA tournament is for those who train for it, not for someone who don't care a thing about MA.

It is possible that you have an innate martial artist spirit within you. How are you connected to this video, if I may I ask?
ytacc0 1 year ago
@ytacc0 I don't understand. You're contradicting yourself. You say you need to know the basics of a Martial Arts, meaning kihon and kata, yet all you do is train for tournaments, which I take to mean only conditioning, cardio and kumite techniques/practice. But without the kihon and proper technique you can't be a top fighter. And one is never done training the basics, you can always do better. I'm kyokushin, that's how the video relates to me. I was looking up tournament training.
H0useMouse 1 year ago
@H0useMouse You sound much like you are trying to make fun of me. Truthfully, I thought you were worth much more respect than this. With your skeptical statements toward my way of life, you lose my respect. So, best off if you would just, Fuck-off. Get it?
I will always reply to what you have to say. If you don't like the way I'm treating you, feel free to say something dumb back. You have been doing that the past few comments.

@dokokai
what you said pretty much applies to all martial arts styles. That is just the sign of th etimes. Training in martial arts 20 some years ago and sharply different from what is called martial arts nowadays. Nowadays, all styles have sold out to the housewives, the lawyer types and the kids with bad self esteem issues that need a cheerleading teacher more than a martial arts one

@dokokai All traditional styles are vanishing!! many dojos are just practising for tournaments!!! and they are forgeting old style!!! I think that karate should practise 90 percent traditional and 10 percent for competitions!!! Oyamas traditional way of kyokushin is dying!!!! only good karate is on okinawa, bcs there is no competitions...!! I think karateka should go on some competitions but not too much!! than you are training just competition karate!!!traditional karate is losing in onur world

@555hansy No exported martial art still has traditional teachings these days. None of the exported karate styles I came across is very traditional. Even with JFKA to standardize shotokan around the globe it has very little really traditional stuff. Some say that Shotokai is the true traditional karate style, but I don't know about that.
