  • It's hard to judge what's korean and what's japanese because of the interactions between those countries. They have a long and heavy past in common. Tkd was called flying karate in a time. And the idea of kick are different in Japan and in Korea.

  • good video!!!!

  • I thought Oyama states in his autobiography that he was born in korea and studied martial arts, true TKD is a name that was coined in the 50's & 60's, but history affirms that korea has had kicking/punching martial arts for about 1200-1500 years,but I think it is

    clear in the kata of kyokyushinkai that Oyama's version of "korean kicks" were introduced to kyokyushinkai, (it is "his" system), I've always considered kyokyushinkai a fusion of Goju Ryu and Taekwon Do

  • That was beautiful display of speed and power =)

    Good job!

  • however it does have good points powerful strikes good kicks an emphasis on conditioning lots of training on flexability as well as a dedication to always improve technique however my son is either going to a boxing school or a tai boxing club

  • i trained ten years in kyokushinkai karate is has its good points but ultimatly is flawed its far too traditional and hasnt modernised notice in kyoshinkai fights there in no front hand job no hook punch no cross u rarely see punches thrown to the head so there is no defence for that hands are low, no head movement i now train mma jujitsu and tai boxing a good karate fighter wud find it very difficult in the ring with a good boxer wen those jabs and hooks start comin in theres no answer

  • I've been reading through some comments here. If some of you TKD-guys have learned that Oyama learned TKD before karate, it is wrong. Oyama learned Okinawan Shotokan  Karate from the famous Gichin Funakoshi, who also founded Shotokan Karate. I have nothing against TKD, you should do what suits you best. But do a search and you will find that Oyama left Funakoshi, and after living alone in the mountains, training hard and meditating, he founded Kyokushinkai.

  • what are the rules in knockdown?

  • @kungfufreddy Kicks and knees to legs,body and head are allowed ,puches to the body are permitted but not to the head,attacks directly to joints are also fouls as are any strikes to the groin or spine . Rounds are 2mins with 30sec breaks victory is by Ippon(equivalent to a knock out),wazari(roughly equivalent to a standing 8) or by judges decision(the guys sat in each corner of the fighting area with the ref getting a deciding vote in the event of a draw)

  • @kungfufreddy no punch to the head :D

  • ;however, I wouldn't be surprised though if the technique was incorporated by some chinese martial arts a few hundred years ago, forgotten, rediscovered, or independently formulated.

  • @noobmelody, can you prove that the roundhouse kick is of korean origin? I do not think so. In the early eighties I asked Steve Arneill (then 7.dan kyokushinkai) about this kick. He said "Twenty years ago no one had seen this kick. It comes from Thailand and Thai-Boxing.

    What is it with you TKD-guys who think everything origins from TKD, and that TKD is superior to anything else in Martial Arts? Are your instructors brainwashing you?

  • @sallhame No silly. You make a hasty generalization error in presuming that TKD guys think that everything originates from TKD. Anyone with a basic knowledge understands that TKD is a new sport. In fact, TKD is a modern sport martial arts that was collective put together in the 20th century. It's lineage from the +1000 year old Taekyun is where it derives any "historical" meaning. The reason why I assumed that the roundhouse back derived from TKD is because of a similarity to the old form

  • @noobmelody that resurfaced in TKD, the direct, codified derivative of Taekyun.

  • Great video, and for the peeps bickering about who's art is better than who's I make reference to Indiana Jones - Raiders of the Lost Ark. and a quote from ricky hatton. If you're not paying attention when someone attacks and the other guy has a weapon, your fighting skills are worth nothing (and you'll look silly kicking off with a guy with a gun)

  • WIN AT :39 !!!!!

  • @Saiga76239mm I agree with what you said about the training. Ive fought in both styles. Is GSP really a karateka though? Ive never been sure of that. His tatt on his chest says jiu jitsu.

  • lolz rocky music omg lol reminds me of karate kid. ME AND MY FRIENDS AT COBRA KAI ARE GONNA TAKE YOU DOWN MAN!!!!!

  • Been doing kyokushin for about 1½ year now, recently went up for my 7th kyu, passed the exam gaining the 6th kyu ^.^!

  • kyokushin power

  • Yeah...the high kick...block it x_x

  • @Ladon68 in many cases, it is powerfull enough to go trough ur block. except if i block with ure elbow or something but then ur lucky.

  • the best of karate.

  • so thats wgat GSP was doin before UFC :P

  • damn this music is epic.

  • Hola, alguien me sabría decir que canción es la que sale en el video. Gracias.

  • @situpe Es del soundtrack de Rocky IV. La canción se titula War.

  • Hola, alguien sabría decirme cual es la canción que sale en el video ?? gracias

  • OSU from Georgia!

  • I love you Kyokushinkai , will you marry me?:S

  • Ай Красава!

  • tebia ponravilsia? :S

  • but not do break these people down they have good skill all i say is taekwondo will improve your skill

  • not to say anything bad about kyokushinkai...but if u want to learn a higher level of how to fight with your leggs u should do taekwondo...i guarantee u if u train for 1 year you will have the abillities to do what these men&women are doing...basicly all these kicks that they learn and do here comes from taekwondo only difference is taekwondo really gives u more speed and accuracy because it invols spinning your body around its axel..(srry for any grammarmistakes english is not my mother tongue)

  • its too bad most taekwondo competitors get their ass whooped most of the time by karatekas

  • @Tugieboy Sorry, but you have no idea what you are talking about. Karate is older than TKD. How can the kicks come from TKD???

    NO ONE in the world can train for one year and achieve the speed, coordination, and not to forget THE POWER, that the fighters in this clip have.

  • sallhame ok perhaps karate is older then taekwondo perhaps but please i did taekwondo for 8 years and honoustly not to show off or to lie or anyhting like that but in 1 year i trained 3 days a week for 3 hours with my club and honoustly i could do every kick these people do and i could do it fast and with power because again taekwondo focuses on using your hips and using the turning of your hips to generate power pls watch some taekwondo videos on youtube&u will see the difference between it :s

  • @Tugieboy Well, you are just confirming my statement that you don't know what you are talking about. If your style is so good, why didn't you enter a knockdown tournament and wipe these Kyokoshin guys off the mat? It is open to any style.

    Why don't the TKD guys enter knockdown tournaments to show how good they are? Why why why?

  • @Tugieboy taekwondo is more leg fighting and kyokushin is more beating. U just see much kicks here because (i think) they look cooler than k.o.'s with fist.

  • @sallhame One year? Are you kidding? Most TKD practitioner will never get it in their lives. Never wear one either. Tugie? You only think you can do it because these badboys wear those kicks the same way any grandma wears yours. They'd be wearing you as a shoe if you got in the ring with them!

  • He is wrong, but he does actually know something. Because the kicks that make up Taekwondo also come from a Korean style called Taekkyun, which is what Mas Oyama trained first as a kid. Kyokushinkai Karate has many kicks of Korean orgin ONLY found in Korean martial arts originally. Ax kick, the hook kicks, spinning hook kicks, the front flip roll kick thingy lol Basically all the jump kicks. Karate has the punches, and some of the kicks and, the SPIRIT! OSU! haha

  • @GuamKomudo I've trained all those kicks in Shotokan. There's only o many ways you can use the human body, it's no surprise that arts will imitate eachother.

  • @sallhame Quite a few of those knock out kicks are exclusively used by TKD, hence the argument. The axe kick and (the back roundhouse? I forget the name of that spinning counter kick) are the most famous of TKD's kicks. I'm not exactly a fan of referring to popular media for reference but Look up fight science or "taekwondo knock outs" on Youtube. And Just because a form of MA is older doesn't mean every technique is attributed to it.

  • @noobmelody The axe kick, spinning back kick, and other similar technique in Kyokushin are derived from Goju-ryu Karate, which Goju-ryu inherited from Bai He Chuan (White Crane Kungfu) of Fujian. There are no technique in Kyokushin that derived from weakling and ineffective MA like TKD. Find out in the history of MA and you will know.

  • @EdwardNagaraj mas oyama was korean and a tkd practitioner before he created kyokushin, so ya wrong m8. people dont realise it comes from TKD because TKD has toned down alot since the days of its creation by general choi. these days its all flash and fast legs. TKD was a military martial art. traditional none of that wtf olympic shit REAL TKD thats wah mas oyama knew when he went into the mountain when he came down he had created kyokushin karate and he beat every master fighter he challeneged

  • @chunkysupreme You have been fooled by Fighter in the Wind movie. That movie was not 100% right, because it was made based on Korean comic written by Bang Hag Gi. OYAMA SOSAI WAS NEVER LEARNED TKD FOR TKD WAS JUST ESTABILISHED ON 1950. HIS BASIC MARTIAL ART THAT HE LEARNED WHEN HE WAS CHILD WAS CHABEE (A COMBINATION OF BAGUA CHUAN AND JUJUTSU). THEN HE LEARNED SHOTOKAN & GOJURYU KARATE, DAITO-RYU AIKI-JUJUTSU, KODOKAN JUDO, AND BOXING WHEN HE LIVED IN JAPAN. SO HE NEVER LEARNED TKD OR TAEKKYON.

  • @chunkysupreme So why did he write three books and title them 'Kyokushin Karate' 'What is Karate?' and 'This is Karate' and never mention TKD as one of the styles he practiced in any of them? Seems to me TKD wasn't high on his list of interests.

  • @psychedashell i know dude i got it wrong :) he never practiced tkd when i posted that comment i didnt do enough research and unfortunately made myself look a bit stupid haha

  • @chunkysupreme Nah, there's enough people saying it on the internet to make it believable. Oyama went into the mountains with boxing, judo, Goju Ryu and Shotokan karate. People say the boxing was taekkyon or taekwando because he practiced it in Korea, but it's actually British boxing.

  • @sallhame I dunno about karate but "The founder of Kyokushin, Masutatsu Oyama, was born Choi Yong-i on 27 July 1923 in Il-Loong, Korea, who in 1964 to 1994 after formally establishing the Kyokushinkaikan, Oyama directed the organization through a period of expansion."(history of kyokushin) and "Taekwondo was developed in the context of the Korean War in the 1950s"(wiki) so TKD was made before (but just around) the same time as Kyokushin.

  • @noobmelody he was born choi bai dael, and ya right taekwondo is alot older than kyokushin, oyama created kyokushin by spending ten months in the mountains alone, when he came out of the woods he went around all the dojos of japan challenging the best japan had to offer! a true warrior! basically kyokushin came from taekwondo

  • @chunkysupreme Absolute bullshit. Oyama arrived is Japan at age 14 with no taekwondo training. Taekwondo did not even exist at this time. Kyokushin is derived from Oyama's study of Japanese and Okinawan MA. It is truly pathetic how taekwondo tries to claim some sort of association with Kyokushin. TKD would never and did never speak these lies while Oyama lived because he would have set them straight. My information comes from close personal friends and students oyama. Not from movies or comics.

  • @aldridge1 slow down dude! no1s arguin here, i do kyokushin myself and since commenting here i have done more research and ya right i was wrong about the tkd!

  • @sallhame they probably can

  • @sallhame yeah.. right.. haha.. !

  • I think that kyokushin style is better than shotokan style ´cause shotokan kumite is a shit. I do it and full contact is prohibited, but I have to carry on with my style.

    Where is this video filmed???

  • I think this is in London 2005. I'm not quite sure though.

  • thanks

  • You don't have to do anything.

    You think kyokushin is better? Do kyokushin.

  • Great video man. Well spliced together and great choice of music.

  • OSU!!!

  • sad those people waving with those flags..

    we are one you know.

  • no disrespect to Kyokoshunkai, but I was a student of one of Kyokoshinkai's masters in NYC that left and started Seido (due to where Masoyama vision was goin).I've been privlleged to have been a student of one of the greatest Seido teachers may he R.I.P

  • its nothing

    i can just catch his kick and put him down

  • 0:41 poor girl...

  • Don't feel sorry for a martial artist when they get hit. They neither need nor want pity.

    She knew the risks of the situation as did every competitor.

    Martial arts are meant to be trained hard, and Kyokushin-Kai is one of the few traditional Japanese arts keeping it real!

  • Kyokushinkai is the best. My life would suck without it. Osu!

  • I did kyokyshinkai but i realized that if u dont have a good teacher.. this sport sux... after 2 years of practice i knotice that everything is about money and the tradition and the art was lost!

  • The gentleman @ 0.08 of the video is the great Hanshi Steve Arneil (founder of the BKK). Hanshi was the coach of the British team that won the World Tournment in 1977/8?; the first outside Japan to do so!

    Hanshi is respected by all who train Kyokushin and respected throughout the Karate world.

    It is because of Hanshi's dedication that the BKK exists and has grown around the world. Anyone who has ever trained Kyokushinkai will know what I mean! OSU!!

  • sorry, i meant great grandson or something

  • hes probably mas oyamas son (mas oyama was the founder of kyokushin karate for those of you who dont know)

  • no its hanshi steve arneill.. he is from south africa, he's the president of the kyokushinkaikan organization and the successor of masutatsu oyama.

  • @ 0:08 who's that guy? he looks important

  • Too bad people think the head can't be blocked with this style. Attending my first lesson I got a beating because I did not keep my hands up. It's purely the rules of the tournament that does not allow this because Oyama wanted this to be pure, thus without gloves or protection. Which is simply not legal or possible in today's world. But this does not mean it is not taught to punch the face. OSU! And I thought they are discussing to get headpunches in again, still without gloves. crazy stuff

  • 1:33 Spectacular Wheelkick.

  • Osu from Romania

  • Mean.. Kyokushinkai OSU!

  • 0:50 tobi ushiro gheri it´s my favourite kick XD

  • its crazy that they go full contact...

  • good, strong but they like robot . for me its better juku cause is more realistic i means more actualized with real world.

  • Good luck finding a Daido Juku dojo.

  • Osu!

  • Bring on the 17th Oct!!!

  • you going to british open?

  • I'm going this year, will be good!

  • My favourite martial arts are karate, taekwondo and jiujitsu but I LOVE KARATE

  • Taekwondo is good only if its not the recreational garbage.

  • agreed, it's a little too flashy, for the most part,

  • K, thanks JGSH13!

  • What's that kick called that I keep seeing? The one at 1:02.

  • Just a basic spin kick.

  • spinning wheel kick

  • Do mawashi keri

    it's reverse spin kick but you throw it over yourself and spin your body as axe.

    Theory wants that kick to land as a vertical blow, in practice it often lands at a 20°-45° angle.

  • Domawashi Geri

  • My husband breaking at 24 secs woo hoo! And then getting knocked out at 1.01 =(

  • Its funny when people defend the not punching to the head thing. ITs stupid but it doesn't matter that its stupid. You could just put gloves on and allow it with a buddy, or go into kickingboxing. But that's not the point. I was reading about judo and the guy that made it said that the sport aspect is important simply to let people get the feel of moving a body, even if all the techniques aren't used. Same thing with this sports aspect.

  • GadGades, getting hit in the head really sucks. It can seriously mess you up. It really does not take much to cause serious damage. Repeatedly getting hit with gloves also causes serious brain injury. There is just not much margin for error. If you want to have a long career and I don't mean just in fighting (ie as a doctor, lawyer engineer etc) you don't want to get hit in the head period.

  • Valetudo21, Andy Hug would like to have a word with you. ;)

  • Sorry but I will not be headed to hell.

  • Correct. nothing can compare with Muay Thai

  • your right, nothing can compare to 2 kicks, 3 punches, 3 elvows and 2 knees

  • I dont see why you got a thumbs down. Muay Thai is pretty impressive.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • Erm, no? just dun wanna drive the sensei crazy by resorting to old habits.theres nothn cool about me, cuz im just like all the other black belt in my class. im just another human being.

  • Comment removed

  • no thats a shitty answer ...the person was being genuine, dont be such a jerk

  • i am impressed that hes a blackbelt in them...

    im a blackbelt in hapkido, tkd, bjj, kyokushinkai!!

    just for the record im not.. but i can say that i am that way i look really cool like lawker777!:-D

  • 2 things lawker777

    1. 17 is definitely not to late, if you focus you can do many things you never thought possbile

    2. not martial art is superior to oneanother. there are only different skill levels of the people who practice them. whatever success or failure you have in martial arts can never be blamed on the martial art, only the martial artist for not seeing the counter to the others style.

    3. your going to be sparing and getting beaten up allot. just keep cool and throw low kicks.

  • Thank u man! U ppl r so nice. I agree with every point u made. Haha Sparring!! Its like ppl beat the ^$&@ outa each other n they buy each other beer! This is definately my style.

  • you'll pick it up quick...you'll be ok. just begin quick as possible. people can start fighting much later than that and still be amazing...it all depends how hard you focus on kicking that other person's ass and winning the fight no problem. u just have to be in shape and know your moves and you have to have something special about you aswell

  • whats the anme of the guy???

    1:08

  • Comment removed

  • Kickboksing might as well be called karate or muay thai, cause it was forged out of the idea to make a sport in which different kick and punch styles could compete against each other

  • kick boxing is not a style. its a form of competition where different striking styles can compete against fair and equal rules. the only peopl that can call themselves kick boxers r the hybrid (MMA) fighters or fighters that dont even believe in styles. I am both so i am a kick boxer!

  • Muay thai is where the kick boxing come from. The American adopted from muay thai and called it kickboxing but they dont use elbow, grabing the head. Kickboxing is using all the profesinal boxing rules but they just added the kicks.

  • u r wrong and right. international kickboxing is more like Thai boxing and full contact kickboxing is more like boxing. i dont really no how to explain it but thats my best description

  • this might as well be called kickboxing

  • no face contact, kicks and knees to the face.. and know grabbing

  • no punches, kicks are allowed.

    just got back from an event. Kyokushinkai is the real deal.

  • look at me i can break a really weak breezeblock with my elbow, arent i cool

  • Can you open palm your opponent to the face.

  • Sometimes you let you're hands down to confuse you're enemies and let them a weak spot to hit. If you're faster than the enemy than you can make use of the lowered hands by hitting his stomach or another body part :). But if you don't react quickly then you get hit, and you may be knocked out.

  • if "sometimes" they let their hands down, its ok, but here, they almost keep it down all the time.

    in the original Kyokushin in Japan, we almost never let our hands down because we dont need it, we can take as much hit to our body because we train it to be, but the head... nobody can train his head to be able to take hits too many times, thats why we always protect the head.

  • that's a good thing to think but it's not always the case. you see people in this video alone buckling from body shots. A well placed body shot can wound the opponent making htem vulnerable to a good headshot..

  • yes there are some people who train karate in UK and use strikes to the face, but afaik they kind of eeked it out of the art because too many people were getting bust up at training sessions in the various dojos around the country.

    A little 'all or nothing' to ban face strikes altogether but it still allows for good training and competition, even if it is quite different and weird to watch from UFC.

    Of course any kyokushin fighter in a real fight will protect the head at all times lol.

  • not bad... but why they put their hands down? Kyokushin Karateka always keep their hands up.

    that's why guys in this video are so weak in defence, especially in the head.

  • really not sure, esspecily in a "stand up" karate such as this

    great video

  • 1:24 is incredible

  • OSUUUUUU!

  • lol thiss is what american way of kyukushinkai? at my karate school we also do kyukushinkay karate but different then you guys do it..

  • I always doubt anyone who claims to train in an art yet can't spell it.

  • kyokushinkai is most common name is kyokushin and it is one of the largest karate organisation in the world. You are saying that, you do a different style from kyokushin and it call kyokushinkay. Well where the fuck that style come from? No history, or maybe a pussy who cant handle the true kyokushin way of training, went and form that gay and fake style..

  • OSU! Great Video

  • Love this. I've done wado for almost 20 years and our style is traditionaly movement based so watching this is really interesting. The kick at 1.23/4 is a cracker! Love the video though, ending excellent. Respect from a fellow karate-ka!

  • Osu, el kyokushin goza de buena salud, hagamoslo perdurar.

  • Great video OSU!

  • to daisukeyumon)...what damn are you saying???!A lot of kyokushin?I don't how and why people is opening their mouth telling shits like this instead using it to eat and breath...Kyokushinkai is one and just one style,with his own techniques,fight rules, and Budo concepts.Others,are only inflated proud ballons who elaborated something derivative..Osu!

  • OSU you are right my friend . but in the first kyokushin tournament, punches to the head were allowed but due to way too many serious injuries late Masutatsu Oyama decided that kyokushin should ban punches and elbows strikes to the face. And always keep in mind that a true kyokushin fight is just as fast to strikes with kicks or punches to the head. so keep your hands up.

    There is only one Kyokushin Style

    every other like urakyokushin or else are just fake.

  • What tournament are you refering to that allowed punching to the head? .

  • True kyokushin style is one of the bigest karate organisation in the world but urankyokushin i dont know where the fuck that comes from, no history at all.

  • Daisukey is stating a simple fact that not all Kyokushin organisations employ the same set of rules Royamas organisation has experimented with punching to the head Matsui's is set to allow pushing,Kyokushin must develop or it will stagnate and die .

  • Nothing to state.Kyokushinkai karate is one.Matsui is not allowing pushing,I am fighter of,so don't say what u don't know.Mas Oyama "state" fact style,not his unworthy students who left the organization to form knew one.Osu!

  • La verdad yo e practicado los dos estrilos de Karate mas fuertes pero hay que decir que solo el Kyokushinkai trata al karate como tradicional

  • the are many types of kyokushin and alot of them alow punching to the head and they even include ground work,joint locks,clinchingand judo take downs for example bodukai kyokushin, daido juku kyokushin and shidokan kyokushin

  • shotokan learns you to fight without being hit (and it is very hard to do)I tell you

  • Boxing is one of the greatest of all martial arts as like Knockdown it requires 100% commitment and courage everytime you fight. My point is people rant on that Knockdown is bad coz we dont punch to the face - I say it makes us better as it means we have to knock you down without using the most obv. weapon of choice, a direct strike to the jaw - I was also trying to highlight that we have a multitude of ways to block and strike the head off the tamawazari. I trust this helps to clarify my point.

  • Great video and music, osu.

  • this shit is serious

  • SO.. Kyokushinkai is always full-contact with no.. restriction of how hard you want to hit the head?

    I'd never do that!!

  • there are no punches against the head. so its not harder then any other full contact sport?

  • There obviously some bad-ass kicks to the head in this video though. In the Shito-Ryo competitions I've been in, you'd be disqualified like mad doing what they do here... but afterwards hailed as a hero!!

  • re:nahhann

    kyokushin dous have defending techinques.

    we only learn to defend on a special way to take out your opponent or attacker in one time.

    i know for sure when you need to fight against a kyokushinkai fighter in a contest

    you would lose for sure beceause kyokushin fighters have a lot more discipline then what fighting sport on earth including shaolin.

    you would get K.O instantly on your liver kidney or head i know for sure ;)

  • What about kyokushinkai fighter vs a Muay Thai fighter?

    Have you ever seen muay thai??

    That shit could knock you down just as quick.

  • There is a kyokushinkai vs muay thai clip here on youtube. Its is a old fight in the 80's. It was the one of the best kyokushin fighter vs one of the best muay thai fighter in those days. That was a fare fight and they are both strong fighters but the kyokushin fighter won the fight.

  • amm. sorry but i don't agree.this karate is very hard,but you don't learn how to defend your head against the headpunch.this is a fatal error.you can attack,but when he punch in your face then K.O.

  • i know one reason why don't defend your head in kiokushin.Masutatsu Oyama was a great fighter with inhuman power.with that power you don't need to defend your head.He has his own style.and if you not so strong like he was,then your style is not perfect,because its not your style

  • That's true !!!

    when i was in kyokushin competition. I don't knew the rullz. (my bad) and i just 1-2 combination to the guy.. he didn't respons it.(after that the sensei never let me fight then)

  • haha i dont get that part about kyokushin, u can punch high in shotokan and i think it is a big flaw in kyokushin because u dont learn to protect ure head from punches

  • YOU RIGHT !!

    IN SHOTOKAN YOU CAN PUNCH WHERE EVER YOU WANT ;) JUST ONE BAD THING THERE ... 1 PUNCH AND IT COMES TO "yame"

  • Im not sure what you mean by In Shotokan as is not a sport do you mean WUKO?light contact rules?ONE big strike towards the face with little contact and the ref steps in, Knockdown is 100% contact, full contact punches & elbows (all but head) knees & kicks (inc head) so we block our heads :) its continuous like a real fight. At 10th Kyu you learn to kick em in the nuts and punch em in the jaw this. Knockdown is only the way we play - not how we learn to defend ourselves.

  • The bare fist face punch is a red hearing - it can't be used because in 90% of the WORLD it would be illegal. I'd rather fight with full contact without the most obv. move (who can't punch to the face?) than learn to fight without being hit.

  • well every one that can extends thier arms think they know how to punch, u cant say that because that means boxing is pointless since every on knows how to punch.

  • SO DAMN WRONG!! its nto about what sport u train. its how u train, how hard, how often and much more!!! the secound one. and the last thing u said. Is eaven more wrong, i would have knocked the shit out of u. and im training muay thai and bjj

  • ok.but first you need to do perfect combination's,the train is just a secondly thing.when you can't accept this,then you are a wrong fighter.

  • and ,,Sycken" ur right they dont learn evasion/defending techniques. thats why Kyokushin is considered the most BRUTAL sport. but this thing is the stupidiest . why take a hard leg kick in face when u can dodge/defend urself with some relfexez/ brain/ and courage. to take a kick isnt courage is foolishness. Courage is to eschivate and attack when he is with guard down

  • nahhann - To take a kick isn't courage its foolishness, perhaps. On todays streets you might not be lucky enough to dodge a kick or punch but if it were to land your training should be such that you would still be able to come back and defend yourself inspite of being kicked or punched, hence the reason for strong physical conditioning in Kyokushin.

  • corection at my first re: ,,i dont like to make comments without reason"

  • rejazzm shaolin kung fu combos are based on 50%hands combos 50% legs combos. the kyokushin combos are like 30-35%hands combos- 65-70% legs combos. so think in a fight with him my attacks need to be fully legs and some hands coose my most of hand combo are in face. just think. i fighted with him thousand of times in kyokushin rules. in Shaolin are no rules u can do everything so is a limitation and disvatange for me when i fight with him and still can beat him. very sorry but this is the reality.

    dude i know u want to defend ur style. i like it too but i make comments without reasons.i practice shaolin kung fu since 2006 and my classmate practice kyokushin since 2001. Last year was the Romanian Kyokushin Sport (thats our country) he tooked the gold medal and silver/cooper medal at europeans. ye he is good but when i fight with him he dont have a chance. seriously. our relfexes/ combos cant compare (and i didnt punched him in the face) when i fight with him i take kyo ruls

  • Hum... ok, what's the goal here ? Knocking down people ? Nice hobby LOL !

  • wow very good... I practic kyokushin karate.... I am italian.

    you practin kyokushin?

  • eh nice vid what to say but kyokushin is for competition, kyokushin vs. other martial arts for example Shaolin Kung-Fu, the Kyoguy dont have a chance, kyokushin masters dont learn the stundents to dodge to feel the oponent, they just throw kicks-punches(in plex, stomach etc)
