KID YAMAMOTO TRAINING ON THE MITS

[uhSTFU]

is he using winning gloves?

[thaistomp]

kid plays no games

[AznSupaStar14]

Pactards on a Kid video? gtfo

[ravingdave900]

its unfortunate kid doesnt have a boxing mentality of throwing combinations and scoring points. he always waits 30 seconds looking for a knockout right hook...

[Lengonator]

The Kid rocks

[syarurulu]

KIDって腰が高い気がする

[withease9]

Perfect volume of music for a video like this for once! Thank you for being tasteful.

[KoolJayJ]

what the fuck is a white guy training him for?? For fucks sake, whiteys are always everywhere

[Murszz]

@KoolJayJ wtf is up with the welfare? darkies dont wanna work? get a job bitch

[kratosmurphy]

MMA fighters at the ufc level are tough and are great fighters, some marines are good fighters but I would say primarily more units like SF, Rangers, Recon, etc, have the toughest and best fighters but who really gives a shit? Its two different things. In a cage/ring, I think some top level mixed martial artists can beat anybody, but on the street you never know..

[jdmkseries]

GREAT FIGHTER, GREAT MUSIC!!!

Too bad this wasn't the pad work during Kid's prime. This was after he finally recovered from the elbow injury right? Then later on he injured his knees and other areas.

Ever since Kid try to lose too much weight and muscle for Olympic wrestling...

[trsisko]

pad holder looks shite

[JohnLeeMD]

They need to sacrifice Kid to Jose Aldo, for Aldo's first foray in the UFC.

[yellowsneakers234]

@JohnLeeMD They don't even fight in the same weight class. Aldo fights at 145, while Kid fights at 135. Kid could probably even make 125....barely. Even if they fought in the same weight class, that match up wouldn't evem make sense. Aldo is on the top of the MMA world, while Kid is just starting to come back. At this point, Kid isn't even a top five batamweight. If Kid can beat his first UFC opponent, he'll vault right up into the top 5 though.

[Og3990]

song is very fitting

[TheKing946]

wat gloves r those?

[theoutlaw346]

nice........

[MyDaredevil123]

Best Fighter Tht My Boy Will Hurt You

[LacostraNostra24]

wait kid was in LA????????

[cai888]

why do these people believe that just cos one fighter trained in mma can fuck up any boxer including pound for pound champion manny pacquiao?

[cleve101]

@cai888 Because boxers only punch and MMA fighters do every aspect of fighting. one weapon against hundreds of weapons.... yeah that's why.

[00kic]

@cleve101 You must not fight becuase its not how many martial arts you know its what youve mastered. UFC, WEC, Pride, etc. they never master any of the martial arts. Its doesnt even deserve to be called MMA its pathetic. Are these guys tough? Are they good fighters? Do they have heart and skill? Yea they have it all but they are far from a MMA master let a lone a martial arts master to begin with

[cleve101]

@00kic uhhh when did I say they were masters? a master in a single martial art still couldn't beat a professional MMA fighter, and AGAIN, 10 weapons are better than one.

And yes I am a fighter :) great assumption pfftt

[00kic]

@cleve101 you must be a pretty bad fighter. Man if a guy or woman has mastered a martial arts compared to guy the has learned a little in 10 martial arts.. doesnt compare at all

[cleve101]

@00kic So let me get this right... you're saying ONE STYLE, a person that only trains in one discipline, would know what to expect when they fight a person that trains in multiple style?... I THINK NOT HAHAHA! that's like saying a hand gun is better than a fighter jet, multiple uses vs one use, versatility vs not, the prediction of who would win is completely obvious, you wouldn't bring a knife to a gun fight would you?

[00kic]

@cleve101 Actually I would bring a knife to a gun fight,.. lol jk but srsly If the so called mma fighter only knows a little of say kick boxing, and judo compared to a guy that is a master in maui thai, yea whos gonna win? The master is, why? more experience, better training. If we're talking about just UFC fighters then this is true because UFC arent very tough at all. In this case I would e right. But if we're talking about a Master in mma then you would be right

[cleve101]

@00kic The only thing I agree with is when you said to put a noob MMa fighter against a pro one styled fighter, which is not the case, people always compare the pros of each sport, So Master of TKD, Kickboxing, Boxing , Muay vs an MMA fighter with tonnes of experience in his/hers multiple style '' aka pro MMA fighter'' would kill any one styled fighter, other than weapon martial arts of course.

[00kic]

@cleve101 So we sort of agreed? lol I was gonna say that I'm done with this conversation anyway because there really is now way of proving whose right and no one has tried yet so this is going no where. lol but the one thing that i do believe which you probably majorly disagree with is that UFC fighters and MMA fighters aren't really all that tough. Cool they can step into a ring or cage and hit it out with another guy but really? Their fights are only for entertainment

[cleve101]

@00kic Actually it's been proven that MMA fighters are superior athletes, they have to be versatile in every aspect of fighting therefor makes them the better athlete compared to a person training in one style, or one aspect of fighter. so yes they are tougher.

[00kic]

@cleve101 Thats why I've seen them get their asses handed to them. Forrest Griffin, Rashad Evans, Gabriel Gonzaga, Marcus Davis, and former Marine Brian Stann, I watched them all get their asses thrown down. Their training styles don't even compare to what I've seen done before.

[cleve101]

@00kic All those guys are good! BUT they're nothing compared to the highest of MMA fighters, Anderson Silva, BJ Penn, GSP, Fedor E, those top guys are masters at their multiple ground and stand up arts, don't tell me a TKD, Kung Fu, Boxer ect professionals could touch these guys....

[00kic]

@cleve101 No.. it was the Marines the wrecked them.. And would kill any of them. In a cage/ring a marine would lose but I want your so called "Greatest Athlete" to come fight in real fighting conditions. They're pathetic compared to a Mcmap master. (Mcmap. Marine Corps martial arts program)

[cleve101]

@00kic When did Marines fight UFC fighters? and first of all Marines aren't even the toughest soldiers out there, Even Israeli police are trained better lol no Marine could touch a Krav Maga IDF soldier.

[00kic]

@cleve101 I watched it on youtube. And unless your retarded then youd know that Marines don't take pride in their martial arts they take pride in marksmanship. I never said they were the toughest out there but they're tough SOB's. No one can compare to the US's military power. And frankly this conversation is getting retarded you take way to much pride in a fighter that doesnt even develop their skill level

[cleve101]

@00kic WHAT?! doesn't improve their skill level?? what fighter does that? did you just say all mma fighters don't improve their skill level?! that is the most biased comment ever, and comparing Marines to MMA is completely retarded, the mind set in both athletes are completely different, and it's not pride, it's respect from all the training an mma fighter goes through and commits, I'd say it's equal physically to Marines, but not mentally, mentally the Marines take that for sure.

[Ayshunnz]

@00kic no one can compare to the US army? lemme guess you're an american. Does your dumbass even know who the French Foreign Legion are? LOL you make me laugh.

[Arcturistheballer]

@Ayshunnz Are you seriously about a French military force. If if had a nickel for every time the USA had to bail you guys I would be fucking rich. WW2, WW1 guys got bailed the fuck out by USA. Even before that France was getting murdered by England for pretty much all of the middle ages. Only thing France has is napoleon and you are going to sit there talking about the French Foreign Legion.

[dkickboxer]

@00kic Get the fuck outta here with that crap.

[AFGalwayz]

@cai888 boxing no chance for kid. but prime kid vs manny in kickboxing, muay thai, MMA or grappling kid can beat manny

[sharkskinsharpie]

he should add head/bobweave/slip/fients movenments. just helps develope muscle memory when you start fatigue.

[hardpunk10101]

he broke his leg too, saw a vid just then of him in surgery getting his leg drilled in, arghhhh

[frostyhkd]

I think he fought 145 even in the 155 tournament. then after that he went down to 135 for his olmypic wrestling trial and just stayed at 135

[YellowSupremacist]

my goal is for my body to look like kid's

[YaDaDaDiga]

YellowSupremacist I got the same goal as you man.. I'm 5"4 about 142-145.. his body is perfect for his height and weight.. really proportioned. Its tough shit though.. a lot of hard work and dedication.. Diet/Exercise 24/7.. good luck to you brother

[FIGHTFANNERD3]

@YellowSupremacist me too

[PureSelf001]

WU-TANG

[amhinternational]

dont know why kid is taking boxing he didnt use it when he got his butt whiped against a known talented striker just all wrestling. Would never invite him back into that gym again

[JubeiXx]

kid has an awsome punch. i've been around boxers for awhile and hearing those strikes along with the sound it makes is an absolute indication in my book of a good powerful blow. for anyone who has no experience in boxing and writes negative remarks is a fool.

[lukaj1n]

@JubeiXx I got the same sound when I padbox.. So actually, your complete comment is BULLSHIT, and you can ask kid, he gonna tell you, the only thing that matters is SPEED. Strength comes afterwards with improving technique, the most important thing is SPEED.

Hehe, you dont deservere the name of Jubei yet :P

[jhko12]

wow so much shit talkn on the internet... u do know kid injured his knee but hes still fightin for dream 9. AND yes kid would fuk up manny in a full contact fight..

mma vs boxing???!?!?

[sjl36]

hey will kid be fighting in the superhulk tournament still or is he done? i dont understand how it works. and im pissed about him losing to that waren douchebag. cant stand the prick. errrr

[thachcv]

And he broke his arm. You never fully recover from stuff like that, you just learn to work with it. Kid is still adapting, so it's only a matter of time before he starts acting somewhat like his old-self again.

[trojanhorse1994]

@jhko12 LOL no he wouldn't

[ravingdave900]

@trojanhorse1994 of course he would he'd just take him to the ground

[martyd90]

@trojanhorse1994 you can never judge a fight until it happens. who thought frankie edgar would beat bj penn TWICE!!

[lucirz]

@jhko12 he actually had multiple knee injuries and had surgery. he was injured mainly when he was trying out for the japanese Olympic wrestling team.

[matt357]

KID IS A FAG ILL KILL HIS GAY FAG ASS

[klstumpy]

2 different sports, 2 different kinds of fighters. Stop spamming your bile.

[matt357]

ILL RAPE U U QUEER FAG

[thachcv]

Who's gay for wanting to rape who?

[Romanov]

Don't fuck with Kid Yamamoto.

It'd be cool to see him in the WEC; get some audience out in the west.

[matt357]

ill rape his ass

[TAKUYA0219]

is yamamoto a left-hander??

[Mortido]

I've seen him fight south paw and normal so I dunno.

[TippmanFaith]

kid is southpaw. when have you seen him fight orthodox?

[thachcv]

I really don't know, I'm right-handed but I fight southpaw. I think there's a number of people who fight southpaw even though they're right-handed, I guess it's 'cause they're comfortable that way.

[thezizi]

KID YAMAMOTO  v.s MANNY PACQUIAO 2010 fight..!!!

[axemurderer27]

as much as i love kid.. (and pacquiao).. it's dependant on the game they fightin in...

in boxing.. manny will kill kid..

mma or kickboxing.. kid

[thachcv]

In my opinion, he wouldn't. He WAS a kickboxer but he moved his focus onto boxing. Maybe this is an indication he's more comfortable with his hands rather than kicks. Kid on the other hand is an all around fighter, I'm no pro so I can't say what caliber Kid is overall, but I know that in an MMA situation Kid would win hands down. In boxing, I will definitely give it to Pacman.

[kamotepotatas]

definitely=)

[jitteryjoe]

@thachcv He still trains mostly with Eed, his Thai coach. That dudes amazing.

[thachcv]

Thanks for the info dude, good to know.

[kingfbi]

kid is the best fighter. real ferocious and powerful. hope he does well in dream. looking forward.

[frostyhkd]

The sound of him hitting those are so sweet and crisp. wow.

[DrDoom725]

is he 135 here? he slimmed down so much,i hear is goin for bantam weight now

[Mortido]

He walks around naturally at 145, and DREAM doesn't have a featherweight division, so it makes sense he'd drop to Bantam. I think cutting 10 pounds is probably easier than gaining and maintaining ten pounds if you want to be conditioned.

[XXID88]

how does he walk around at 145? he fought at 155 what did he weigh then? I think he lost some muscle because thats a lot of more difference than people think, from 135 to 155. mike brown walks around at 165.

[Mortido]

Yeah, he naturally walks around at 145. Not sure how much he weighs in at when he fights. He does look like he's lost muscle.

[whoSez305]

well when he fought in the 155 tournament he actually had to move up weight with every fight in that tournament beacuse he is really short ,,naturally smaller with and with a smaller reach than everyone else and still won ,,hence his major popularity,,he was the only fighter in that tournamant that had to move up weight while everyone had to cut weight

[GreatestCreation909]

DREAM does have a Featherweight class. They are in the middle of a featherweight tournament as well.

KID and Atsushi loss. But I still have Tokoro to root for.

[CollaborativeMedia]

killer bees!

[Dejavu157]

i recently joined coasta mesa la boxing, never seen him...

[centauri32111]

he covered the japanese letters tattoo on his right arm

[viktorahn]

The japanese looke much better that his new one

[peachesndean]

I'd like to meet Kid, do you know where I could meet him? does he train regularly there in costa mesa?

[VIPeat]

I believe he was only in town that week for WEC San Diego then went to Vegas to meet with Dana White for Penn/St Pierre at UFC 94.

[esteve72]

Man, that's a quick recover from ACL surgery!

That's not too far from me, had I known Kid was there training I would've tried to watch in person.

[tonycyin]

is he there to prep for a upcoming fight?

[5H0M3D4M0N3Y]

How can anyone down vote this vid? Some things I just don't understand.

[Pakadread671]

I agree strongly

[unrulyrascal]

With all due respect to Fedor, the Kid is, in my opinion, the greatest p4p fighter alive...
