Kyokushin - kancho Shokei "Akiyoshi" Matsui

[neonchasm]

He was the greatest karateka of Sosai's generation, I still idolize him even after what he did to the IKO. My sensei, ever risible and objective, calls me the "Mastui Lover" because I study his instructional videos and would throw predominantly jodan/ushiro mawashi hahah

[ahmednabil]

@neonchasm

same thing with me , my sensei hates him for what he did.

also I use the ushiro mawashi and mae mawashi always

[kenseisato1989]

legs of fury!

[Veevie74]

Love them.Enjoy them.Respect them but why Andy Hug is the only guy who do well in K-1&the rest is pretty fucking shitty.

[aldridge1]

@Veevie74 Sam Greco did well in K1. Feitosa was runnerup in 2 K1 finals. Filho defeated 4 separate K1 champs (Hoost, Aerts, Hug and Bonjasky).... I wouldn't call that shitty

[azdillydally]

Wow, simply wow...

[LimeSlimez]

Respect! He throws those kicks like its nothing 0.0 unbelievable. So Fast, So Strong, So Precise = Kyokushin!

[qubiq3]

3:33

Shokei with Andy & Mas? 3 generations of legends!

Big respect for this guys.

OSU and greetings to every practicioner of this great style.

[krolechka]

Legendary, indeed!

[DuskfallBand]

when I saw how fast he kicks the mawashi geri jodan I was like what the fuck O.O he is one awesome karateka.

[qvorqvor]

Страхотен боец и страхотна музика за клипчето.Матцуи е един от идолите ми!

Great fighter and great music for the video.Matsui is one of my Idols!

[Frequent2001]

so is that guy Jyohei Tsutsumi in garouden breakblow? hes pretty short like him

[mutinous10]

brilliant.. martial art at its best.. that guy is something!!!

perfect technique, perfect timing, perfect dynamic, perfect balnace..

just brilliant..

wow,

thnx a bunch for this video

awesome

[tommotomt]

i dont do kyokushin, but this is the most lethal looking ura-mawashigeri i have ever seen!

[MrKaratekid611]

i would like train with him and i train in goju ryu karate

[NgapuhiMaoriBoi]

Osu Osu, I would love to train with him, even watching the video, i feel i have gained more experience in kyokushin. strait respect!

[OMGHuygens]

truly truly amazing video, I never thought of him as to be this good, now I have more respect for him and for the IKO

osu

[genious4real]

@OMGHuygens I don't study many people, but I study him!!!!! Not the tallest of fighters, does not look even very ripped, but the flow of his technique is flawless. We are talking about a guy who is the best amongst some of the hardest karate fighters in the world and history. How freakin good must you be to "toy" with the best and toughest? JEEZ!!!!!!!

[iEnjoiPooping]

This guy could kick the face off of a terminator.

[DrVoltage1]

that back spinning hook kick @3:06 was absolutely perfect.

[KanchoKomancho]

Bravo majstore

[goumork]

ohhh una bestia

[quygiangchau]

if you are in doubt, seek him out and fight him! i would seek him out to learn from him instead!

[danmorsou]

OSU! Kancho real master Five big stars thks!

[bvindh]

wasn't this guy rather famous for getting punched in the face?

[kyokushinheart]

@bvindh Let me ask U this simple questions to answer that sarcarm:

Are boxers famous for breaking bones when punching without gloves? yes

Are Wrestlers known to have bad cardio/high fat %? yes

Are jiujitsu fighters known to have problems when facing more then one opponent? yes

Are kyokushin fighters known to have lost in K-1? no check my channel if you want any proove of that

Are you just another cliché internet troll? yes otherwise you wouldn't have entered the vis in the 1st place

[bvindh]

@kyokushinheart

he might be better than Superman and Chuck Norris, but, fact is that he took blows to the head even from an unskilled Indian karateka.

Just stating a fact. No disrespect, dishonor or breaking of the Bushido code is involved.

[kyokushinheart]

@bvindh That may be true, all kyokushin fighters that won in K-1 had the proper boxing trianning to learn how to fight acording to the K-1 rules. This guy is famous cuz he is a genius inside the art he practices and the competition world he is in.

Asking why he is famous even when he is hit in the face, is like asking why pro boxers don't kick to the head as they please.

[deathmarkedNoks]

what is the name of the song it is not 3 Doors Down - Kryptonite???

[Liquidcadmus]

great video, thank you for posting. I also like Ryu Narushima very much.

[triniSOCCERdude]

mmm..wonder who kicks are better his o sum1 who does taquando?

[comrad1986]

@triniSOCCERdude taekwondo kicks will apper much more flashy and look beautiful if thats what u call better.....but i can tell u for a fact u DO NOT want to get kicked from a kyokushin practitioner, its just raw power...trust me i know did it for three years.....by the way i'm from trini too

[EdwardNagaraj]

@comrad1986 You're fucking idiot. Kyokushin kicks are more effective and deadly than the weakling TKD kicks. Kyokushin is a martial art, while tkd is just a dance. Thats why tkd kicks are dandy and ineffective. Come and fight a Kyokushin Karateka and you will know what I mean.

[comrad1986]

@EdwardNagaraj u call me an idiot ??? u are the fucking idiot who is as dunce as a fucking brick, with no humaN intelligence whatsoever......read my comment again u STUPID fuckin ignorant ASSSSSHOLE !!!!...NOWHERE IN MY COMMENT HAVE I SAID WHAT YOU ARE INSINUATING !! I DID KYOKUSHIN FOR THREE YEARS AND TRUST ME I KNOW ABOUT KYOKUSHIN..IF IT WAS SO SHITTY I WOULD NOT HAVE STAYED THAT LONG...READ MY PREVIOUS COMMENT AGIAN AND AFTER U UNDERSTAND COME AND TALK ASSHOLE !!....

[comrad1986]

@EdwardNagaraj i did kyokushin for thre years and i was a respected member of my school...it was three years of PURE torture (but FUN and INSPIRING at the same time)...squats and leg exersises were killer...i have high ranking taekwondo friends and they dont even train at one tenth of kyokushin's intensity and ferocity....BUT (as i said before) to give credit WHERE IT IS DUE, taekwondo's kicks LOOKS & APPEARS nicer than ours, but it is not effective as kyokushin's kicks !!..u big CUNT !!

[hauzus]

talent, skill, technik

[mafiamitzy]

Wow, that is insane

Osu!

[padobah]

this scared me...

[ginns1987]

Utter legend, amazing skill and powder. Alot of these techniques in combat are so difficult and he uses them like breathing.

[equirn3]

this guys like..."hey im gonna kick you with this roundhouse" then he shows them the round house several times and still knocks them out with it....

[ahmednabil]

@equirn3

there is the dedicated practitoners' level strikers then there is professional level , then there is the elite strikers , then a few in a league of their own , and then you have matsui who i never seen any one kick like him .

to a beginner it doesnt look that special , also the video doesnt capture 10% of its magnitude , ive heard that from ppl who actually seen him in action .

OSU!

[HvPman]

@ahmednabil i'd say kenji midori is in the league of his own too

[SempaiMarc]

Another fine example of Sosai's art. My students watch these videos and get so excited about Kyokushin.

[weavehole]

kancho hehehe

[fasy16]

His leg techniques is as good as hell..

[WarrenChu000]

5:46 - Kick me in the stomach PLEASE!

[xnt001]

This video is excelnt

[TheOniram90]

3.06 - too fast 

[fredkarat]

GREAT OSS.

[martintar1]

was he arrested ?

[jeetcaredo]

which is the song??? please!

[hauzus]

novadriver-blackout

[TheVaccumtube]

From this video we can see that Master Matsui have perfected " jodan-mawashigeri ". He trained both legs to be extraordinarily flexible, forceful, speedy and accurate, so that the technic have become integral part of his reflex... it had become his instinct. Unquestionably an accomplished KARATE-KA, A GREAT MARTIAL ARTIST UNPARALLELED IN IT'S CLASS OR PROBABLY WITH OTHER SCHOOLS OF MARTIAL ART. My salute to this very gifted artist and the MASTER OF KARATE. Osu !!

[TheVaccumtube]

From this historical archive, we are able to witness an ACCOMPLISHED MARTIAL ARTIST-Karate-ka. Matsui Shokei's kicking technic is masterful. Watch how he has achieved a fine balance in his body, the very smooth pivot, speed and accuracy. Master Matsui has demonstrated Karate in it's finest, his demonstration here serve as a supreme example for all those who are serious about learning martial art technic. His kicking is super. My most respect to Master Matsui.

[FFomegAAA]

at the bulgarian Kyokushin camp in 2010 .Kancho. told us that the normal peed to hit something with is between - 1000m.ps-2000m.ps. and when you hit some one in the body its normal blood to come out of his back ...think about dis !

[RurouniHeart]

This guy would send Lyoto Machida to the emergency room.

[mathoyama]

Kancho Matsui is my hero !!!!

[Judokkaa]

Honestly, Ive always been secretly a little bias against Karate (Im a Judo guy) but Kyokushin looks pretty badass.

[ahmednabil]

@Judokkaa

i've always been biased against karate , but the first video i saw about kyokushin 4 years ago i realised i am going to be a karateka .

i was a kickboxer back then .

judokas are badass too. : )

[MSAlex23]

@ahmednabil Kick Boxing is from Kyokushin u knowed that? =P

[ahmednabil]

@MSAlex23 well maybe thats why it didnt take me long to get used to it : )

[Judokkaa]

@ahmednabil I have since started Kyokushin in addtion to my Judo, badass stuff, I love it.

[ahmednabil]

@Judokkaa

that is good news : )

i see you are from canada , lots of good dojos there .

best of luck then

OSU

[H0useMouse]

@Judokkaa I'm glad you two changed your mind :) Kyokushin practitioners were required to take Judo to a certain level until relatively recently.

[RurouniHeart]

@Judokkaa

I'm a judoka as well, but if I wasn't doing Judo, I would have liked to have gotten into Kyukushin karate years ago. Now I study teakwondo and karate on the side (it improves my ashiwaza to have strong hips from kicking)

[LEVRAIVRAIZEN]

they tell MATSUI WIN VS RANDY BUT RANDY PUT HIM K.O IN THE VID...

[jobowtackmasterx]

FAKE BASTARD

[ZEN824]

OSU!!! nice video... really inspiring and fired my spirit up!!!!!!!!! OSU...

[ZEN824]

Matsui's fighting way is different to all kyokushinkai fighter... In my opinion and thought, he actually have balance of yin and yang. That's mean he has master it. He is the greatest karateka. but i am sure he is the best fighter in the world...

[catro80]

my friend he is but don't forget he never defeated Andy Hug when he fight him so now that Andy is dead we will never know.........and Andy was Oyama's student too........so?who would be a greater champion?

[ZEN824]

@catro80 no, he ever defeated andy hug.. but of course not by knock out....

[mattollie0]

Awesome, same age as me and he is soooooo far beyond anything I could hope to attain, but an inspiration, going for my Kyokushin Sandan which would be a doodle if I was half as good as Kancho. OSU!

[BakuninistKarateka]

@mattollie0

Do well in your shinsa. Osu!

[ahmednabil]

@mattollie0 you really are the same age :) best of luck sir .

OSU!

[yulaw3]

look at those kicks man...power!

[andersonlmamede]

Very good!

[EKI3BFH]

oooooosssssssss ;)

[EKI3BFH]

and who won Francisko Filho or matsui

[ahmednabil]

@EKI3BFH

that was a sparring in which matsui as the head of the IKO organization was feeling the young fighter's potential , and he predicted him to become a world champion , which he did , so it was more like a teacher/student sparring .

[dpalumbo7]

Thats nothing Bob fabrey broke 18 FEET of ice he holds like 6 world records he broke 1650 lbs of ice look him up he learned right from mas oyama

[yulaw3]

@dpalumbo7 but bob fabrey is a shit name lol

[nipponkaratedojo]

Excelent video, I am Practice Shito Ryu, but Kyokushin is a strong Karate....

[ChiLLaZER3]

WHATS THE SONGGGG !!!??????

[Krisgomgun]

OSU

[gambardela]

great i love this karate right

[firmapal]

the master!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! osu!

[sirexium]

damn cool

[hvkarate]

Matsui is incredible with the best ushiro mawashi geri's I've ever seen. OSU!!!!

[L0v3ism]

In manga, he's like the quiet-but-can-beat-dozens-of-g­uys type hahaha xD

[morrink]

ok. Sunimasen.

[morrink]

great vid and good info, but the music sucks. Modern crap, should be more inspirational "soundtrack" music or something like that...

Osu!

[ahmednabil]

@morrink

i know , its the copyrights . this is an audioswap really , the original had a song and a soundrtrack .

you should have known its the copyrights :)

OSU!

[Jejoelso]

@morrink I think the music is very fiting if you have a some kind of "rockear" (which is not necessarely the right one) but it fits the mood and shape of the video just fine in my oppinion :)

[AsaichinoTaro]

What a incredible speed!

[maeonmars]

@ahmednabil

yes I think the first is the sosai master Oyama

OSU

[hamidn4]

master of the masters sir matsui.... no others like him man<3 BLESS.....

[CelestialSymph0ny]

what do you call those leg swipes in karate? sick!

[ahmednabil]

@CelestialSymph0ny

It's called ashi barai

[CelestialSymph0ny]

@ahmednabil thanks!

OSU!

[kyokushinheart]

5/5 and favorite...

I can't help but to admire the incredible balance of Matsui...

He can easily kick 4 to 6 times with the same leg to face and middle section without loosing any body control and with enough power to KO...

If U noticed... 2:12, he still manages to kick this way even in combat num 58...

[ahmednabil]

@kyokushinheart

thats really the thing about matsui he kicks with great efficiency even when he is at a fatigue level where it would be a struggle to deliver a gedan mawashi .

I'm a fan of your videos myself .

OSU!

[mapleleafmenace]

While Kyokushin is not my art, I can't help but appreciate the skill and timing this man demonstrates. I would be both terrified and excited at the chance to spar with him and learn from him. No matter the art, no matter the person, we can all learn a lot from our fellow budoka. :)

Also, @ahmednabil - what's the music in this video? It sounds very familiar but I can't place it.

[ahmednabil]

@mapleleafmenace

the track is Blackout

dont really know the band but somewhere in the comments someone gave full details.

[evergray]

Oh wow. Boot to the head. A lot. :o

[tzarmu]

Fighting 100 ppl in kumite is quite a challange, so theres no need to waste energy making youre opponent open up his liver, plexus, or jaw for any type of punch. Better to kick full force when the time is right.

[evergray]

@tzarmu Yes, it looks pretty effective! Looks like only 19 people have succeeded in this challenge, is that still true?

[masterdimsen]

I almost think that being that good takes the thrill out of the fight... or maybe it just opened up a whole new world of fights, heh almost comic-bookish. Even though he is that good, do you think he might exceed Kensei? (By Kensei I mean Oyama (Kensei= godfist (a nickname he earned(for those who dont know))))

[ahmednabil]

@masterdimsen

actually i think that no one who lived after sosai oyama has ever exceeded him.

and i do not think that anyone that was ever recorded on video fighting , has ever came close to kancho matsui's technique or timing , among other things .

exceeding mas oyama ? didnt happen yet , not that we know of .

you make a really good point in your comment.

OSU!

[masterdimsen]

No doubt Matsui got an excellent timing. And I think, with the proper training and guidence (unfortunately Kensei can't do that :.( ) he might exceed him, who knows. I dont think that anyone have exceeded Oyama yet, but I think Matsui got a chance, maybe he need a couple of years on a mountain. OSU!

[gaijinx90]

[tutayta]

his name is Moon Jang Gyu hes korean actually

[ahmednabil]

@tutayta true he is korean , and yes thats his korean name , its not used though , and his name is akiyoshi matsui . and later called shokei matsui.

[axlgnraxlgnr]

they say high kicks are ineffective but not with this bloke))

[123PSMentor]

awsome vid one of the best ive seen on Matsui Osu!!!

[ahmednabil]

@123PSMentor ,

thank you , i borrowed many clips from mmarzec's videos and other uploaders, cannot deny their great effort .

OSU!

[gyromancy2]

Amazing highlight. I wish Andrews Nakahara would've dones those moves on Sakaraba

[GabrielGroverMan]

He has the best form in tradition kumite that i'v seen by far. we will commemorate him in my dojo.

[TimeSplitter64]

He is very skillfull, and very good jodan mawashi geris! i hope to be this good!

[Taxafolia]

Great footage, Thank-you for sharing.

[rastax27]

I am not a Kyokushin guy, my experience goes to Shotokan karate (3rd Dan), kickboxing (trainner), taekwondo and muay thai.

Excuse me for being so ignorant in this subjet, but, even for me, it is quite obvious...this guy is a genious !!

Flawless technnique, impresive speed and unrivaled power.

I am truly overwhelmed. This is the real, pure Karate spirit....Osu !!! :D

[ahmednabil]

im glad that someone of such experience would give his opinion .

OSU!

[veshkeat]

Add KM, judo and escrima to that list (1dan in KM,1 kyu in shotokan and TKD, 3rd in judo) and you get my list of experience. And, ofc, i agree whole-heartedly with you. Great spirit, great min. Osu!

[fercalmok]

so you want to start a comment brawl here , sorry . not going to happen.

[thefallensaiyajin]

matsui vs kenji what is the best fighter?

[Lausse666]

Mas Oyama Lives Forever!

[Ov3nTaros]

I'm proud that i can train Kyokushin ! Osu !

[Ti1301]

what is the name of this track

[ejimenezpacheco]

Osu!

[RougeWolf07]

Great Video! I would really like to go to Japan to learn Kyokushin.

Anynone know the name of this song?

[RougeWolf07]

Anyone know of any good Kyokushin schools in Japan?

[Lausse666]

IKO 1 which is run and directed by Kancho Shokey Matsui... I´m quite sure you´ll get the pure spirit of the ''ultimate truth'' with them...

[Hliouxas]

always an inspiration... OSU...

[wei461101]

AT 2.09 the opponent fighted seriously n get him mad, so when he:s down still he gave him a powerfull punch.(( i was there))that" against kyokushin rules. personally opinion MIDORI has more liberal.

[ahmednabil]

osu!

i think it was just because he was fighting 100 man in a row and he started the strike before the opponent went down .

i know u were there , i know you are one of them honbu first members , but i think matsui is kind to his opponents .

somewhere in that video he ko's one with a hiza geri and then helps him downd gently , i've been told that no one is as nice as midori though.

osu!

[STA1978]

Osu!

[pimpius250]

thank you for uploading this!

at 0:26 he makes a verry impressive technique! does someone know if there is any special name for it and maybe a good training method for it?

thanks again

[ahmednabil]

osu! im glad you like it .

the technique is Tameshiware or breaking ,but you are right its a special type of tameshiware .

[Wishmastercr555]

Kyokushin it's not a style...it's a life style

Osu!

[malekamericana]

Ahmed do u know any kyokushin Dojos in Cairo?

[peterrr450]

It's the best movie about kyokushin i've seen so far . This guy is the best .

[thelva]

i still don't understand how he manages to sweep so easily... like if they were weighless or faking it...

amazing

[jessevoidable]

LoL!

His sweeps are extremely effectively because he must have practiced them repeatedly over a long period of time.

He also has a very good understanding of timing and how to read his opponents' bodily postures and positions.

Only by a glance, he could tell when is the best timing to sweep. That's one reason why his sweeps appear to have never failed to topple down his opponents.

Also, when he sweeps, he commits himself into the techniques. Watch the torque and rotation of his hips. =)

[gratka158]

dobry jest

[Jejoelso]

song and band name please would appreciate it. superb clip also very inspiring

[ahmednabil]

the song is blackout , i dont really know the band

[Jejoelso]

ok, um tried searching for it, didn't find anything
