Ryu Narushima Highlight by Daisukey

[HvPman]

damn Narushima, fighting vs Filho is something

[Shunn061207]

at 4:18 was like Ryu vs. Sagat all over for me again.

[tony5tark5]

@mymyharlow id take on any man just to say i tryed im big on boxing and bjj seems to be the best in a real fight as well as mma i like karate but there no punching to the face is a rule that takes it out of a true contest

[leahcimevlak]

@tony5tark5 did you watch the first UFC before they had gloves some of the fighters broke their hands hitting the head. boxing when it was bear knuckle they hardly ever hit the head for the same reason they didn't want to damage there hands.

[murph330i]

Ryu's a great fighter but Filho is one of the best ever. 

[jaguarzoopark]

What is the name of the second song ??

[seektheforce]

You lose braincells from concussions, isn't that bad?

[DevineProducts]

Incredible, that's real passion right there.

OSU!

[Liquidcadmus]

Ryu Narushima is my favorite fighter of any style.

About kyokushin, I have been practicing many styles of martial arts for over 15 years,

All I know is I would never in my right mind mess with a Kyukushin black belt. they are truly human weapons. and I have the highest respect for them.

Osu!

[Semimaru]

osu!

[kyoku29]

OSU!

What is the name of the song?

Story of The Year - Until The Day I Die

[laokon]

Other side: people who have to fortifiy their body, get insane stamina, and whose restrictions are no elbow or punch to the head or attacks to the groin...

Even in shotokan, you have surely been hit at the stomach without controle, have you been knocked out by it? surely not, yet your op got the point.

Hope you can understand what i am getting at.

Kind regards

[Sigfrido1986]

I have been knocked out several times by a punch in stomach. When I was a boy of 15, that was the main cause of my parents didn't allow me to go on with Kenpo.

All the reasons you explain here don't keep coherence if you have understood my comments.

Anyway, we can have different points of view. It's not a problem at all - OSS!!

[Skabz]

boxing? what video are you watching?

[Sigfrido1986]

Did you see that, man? (3:49) What KARATE do you know...? : /

[Skabz]

KYOKUSHIN .. lol..do you even watch boxing at all? they wear gloves and punch mostly to the FACE.. k thx

[Sigfrido1986]

I have no time to waste here.

[Sigfrido1986]

3:22 Is this Karate? It seems more boxing, pal...

[laokon]

why? because he uses a body hook? you think only boxing has fist technicks or what?

[Sigfrido1986]

Did you see that, man? (3:49) What KARATE do you know...? : /

[laokon]

first you mention 3:22, now 3:49

in both cases it's narushima using body hooks. my previous comment is still valid, you don't seem to know what kyokushin karate is.

For my credentials: i'm practicing shotokan karate, kyokushin karate, full contact (kickboxing w/o lowkicks) used to practice savate.

So i think i might recognize a boxer from a kyokushin practitioneer.

Kind regards

[Sigfrido1986]

I have practised Kenpo, Shotokan and Full Contact too. The way of standing and punching the chest is a completely lack of realism. Karate is Bu ( Stop battle) Do (way), not an exhibition of stamina or strenght (Sport). When you can recieve eye stab or a kick to your groins, to fight like this video has no meaning. My words are not a matter of recognizing styles, are a matter of functionalism.

[laokon]

firstly i want to apologize for stating you don't recognize kyokushin.

Small correction: Bu means war, not stopping a battle, so budo are the way of war

What you say is true, but it's not only the case for kyokushin. Shotokan competition: no lowkicks, no groin kicks, no open hand thrust, no elbows, no knees,...

Full contact: no attacks below belt, thick gloves, no elbows, or headbutts, etc..

I think you get what i mean

If you take it that way kudo is the most realistic competition you can get

[Sigfrido1986]

Look for the twenty main precepts of Karate-Do. Bu is a kanji composed by two kanjis: one of them is "spear" or "halberd", the other one is the verb "stop". "War" is the western -and wrong- translation.

Sure competition is not realistic, but in shotokan for example is needed to attack and get back - otherwise you can take a mortal blow.

This Kyokushin match doesn't show a realistic behaviour. Karate must to be "Budo", not sport.

[laokon]

Please don't tell me you consider shotokan competition dancing as more budo than kyokushin? The behaviour of the fighters, the non contact rules, the restrictions on techniques...

SO one side: dancers who don't know contact, can't use an arsenal of techs properly (maite, gyku tsuki, mawashi, uramawashi, and 3 throws in average) and just focus on being trickier or faster than their oponent...

[paraunnya]

hey 武(bu) doesn't mean "stop" at all. Only one of the components means "stop"..Even though the combination of the two components means "stop battle", the meaning itself totally changes.. It has approximately 14 meanings, but there's no meaning of "to stop a battle". it mainly means "strength".

[Sigfrido1986]

This karate seems Muay Thai :(

[cancerpig]

a good, handsome fighter...if i m a girl, i should every dreaming i m his girlfriend~~~ but...so sad coz i m boy~

[mutenroyes]

is a god!! thanks ryu

[Tenrou2]

Wow, 1993? He's so young in these videos.

[dimmedead]

nunca desrrespeite o karate brasileiro!!!! Francisco Filho foi la e modtrou isso pramim vc que falou mal nao sabe nada de karate

[doni141]

Good song, Good Fighter!

[doni141]

Dope now or never 2 song end kata

[angelslayer13]

[angelslayer13]

[doni141]

[dinave]

Dope - Now or Never  That's 2nd song

[doni141]

the song?

[dinave]

First song is until the day I die by story of the year

[KanameTousen]

Thought this was RYO Narushima

[Ch3wza]

crazy, shot to the heart 5:41 with the ball of the foot

[Pninja885]

whats the name of the last song?

[richardfactory]

Um whats the point of having Fransisco Filho winning at the end when its supposed to be a Narushima Ryu hightlight? but I love this vid.

I like Midori Kenji...his hipjoints are amazaingly flexible...and Yamaki Kenji is good too.

[Ch3wza]

it just showed that narushima can take a huge beating and retaliate with that much spirit and potential against a much bigger opponent such as filho

[studiosss]

It's kyokushinkai karate.

Os

[georgio90]

why is he allways the smallest one in the fight :P

[Pninja885]

lol who cares, he'll alwais end up kicking them on the face with his awesom left kicks!!!

[EucaliptoKyodai]

mi idolo despues de andy hug un crack

[joeurgod]

there are weight catagory tournaments in kyokushin

[campinorri]

Nice Video I didnt know the guy but it´s very noble to show his ko´s and the fight´s he lost too.

I Prectice Shotokan ´from Sensei KASE and I think tecnique it´s important to learn but after you should find your own way no one but you know if you are hitting hard.... and it´s in your own hands to inproove your power.

OSS

[HmmItsLikeSoFunny]

I don't understand the final fight, i don't see how the other guy is in the same weight category as Narushima.

[thelva]

there is no weight category in kyokushin tournaments.

[joeurgod]

ur wrong there are weight catagory tournaments. alot actually

[bfedkjwerfegregfrerg]

But Ryu Narushima isn't the name of Shamo's manga hero? What a manga!

[mrsticky005]

the character from Shamo was named after this person.

[KBJjumpen]

good ko's... does someone knows the second song plz?????? thx

[Nimraud]

dope - now or never

[jerebol]

What is the name of that Kata at the end? I practice shotokan and we dont have that kata.,

[kyokushinheart]

yantsu kata

[UzumakiWarrior01]

Also, with all due respect, Kyokushin and Shotokan don't really have the same kata's because they're alittle different.

[SADEONERR]

i didnt knew kneeing the head was allowed, i though only kicking, next training i will try it because i`m kind of tall. Osu

[ravtan123]

i gained a black belt in shotokan 2nd dan and i am currently black belt 1st shodan in kyokushin---2 very different styles but good in both ways .....karate is karate for me

[Nimraud]

Why is everyone arguing on which art has better technique? Fighting arts are like religions, its up to the individual to meet their potential based off of what they have. And just like religion no matter what style you following there's always going to be someone else telling you that you're going to hell.

[rangoco]

I agree. Only those who are True to their art actually become great. No ONE art is better than the other. The better fighter is the ONE who was prepared.

[Mapanda]

@Nimraud Really well said.

[XLRO8]

@Nimraud in spite of your words to live by....shito ryu karate is best......

[tony5tark5]

@Nimraud ya and bjj is it lol not to be a dick or try to change your mind but put bjj vs in the search bar and u tell me

[narcokaj]

lol owned and i agree, people don't relise the hips moving.how do you think teakwondo people own others in fights? others don't see the hips moving.

[ahmednabil]

excuse me.. did u say 4 months ago that tkd dancers "own" others.

[goldwyrm]

Any one who practices shotokan can tell you that if you move your soulders during a tsuki, your intructor will tell you that you sould not.

What I tell you about muscle chain, I tell you not as a kyokushin karateka, but as an phisical therapist that made his tesis based on biomechanics.

[vevoltion]

I practice Shotokan, and let me tell you, it depends on the instructor. Let's get something straight here though, that depends on if you're training in JKA or SKA shotokan.

[goldwyrm]

soka... Well I practiced shotokan, then Kyokushin. SO the shotokan they taught me was that way, if U say there is other currents inside the same discipline I belibe U. In kyokushin itself there are a lot of Kyus know...since sosai oyama past away.

[vevoltion]

Oyama was a great man and did alot for Karate. I myself, am a korean practicing a japanese style just like him. I find his story very inspiring so i give you kudos for training in Kyokushin.

[jitteryjoe]

thats bullshit 8-) all karate styles focus on getting maximum power in all techniques - kyokushin just looks different to shotokan because of the difference in their competitions. if you look at mas oyama's karate its just good shotokan with goju influences. Todays kyokushin look nothin like him.

[goldwyrm]

Shotokan focuses on the katas and technique on traditional ways

Kyokushin focuses the techniques on the body movement needed to give maximum power to every single blow

If U notice, when a shotokan karateka makes a seiken tsuki (direct hit whith the fist) he does not move a mm. of the shoulders, hips or feets. Now a Kyokushin karateka intigrates all muscle chains from the back, shoulders, hips, and legs in one single move, the same principle applys to every other technique.

[kyoukan91]

In shotokan you still move your hips not your shoulders because it is so easy to telegraph shoulder movements.

[45panyangXD]

wat is the difference of shotokan to kyokushin karate?

may iknow?

[Starblood64]

i study shotokan and so far its nothing like this :( ATM im focusing on punch combos then kicks

[GRISHNAKHTKD]

muy buen estilo, se le complico con el grandote, yo hago taekwondo itf y me gustan otros estilos delucha de artes marciales.

[Liquidcadmus]

yo tambien practico ITF,pero la verdad es que contra Kyokushin no hay con que darle,son autenticos guerreros

[frannunchaku]

great! I dont like karate that much.. but this guy is very good

[huineo]

i pratice shotokan just dont if i couldnt hit the face i jus couldnt be that close to someone and not ..

[rangoco]

I know what you mean. It takes some practice and control not to strike the face when your subconscious mind sees the opening. But just because they don't strike to the head doesn't mean they can't adjust when need be. My training partners and I adjusted easily. But, point taken.

[WorldWarCheese]

That's what Ichigeki is for.

[rangoco]

One of my idols. Just amazing. I had the pleasure meeting Ryu at the 2006 summer camp in Japan. Friendly, humble and down to earth. Great job on the Vids. Keep up the goodwork. OSU!

Guam kyokushinkai

[adam1010101010]

who says this style is shit and this style is a cousin of tkd. pfff tkd fights are never like this. tkd doesn't teach punching like kyokushin. kyokushin is the best karate in the world.

[wupingpow]

holy shit amazing

wut song is this though?

[bloodriotiori]

lol oh ya iki2001, lets look at your comments on your page, and see how many people give a flying fuck about anything you say. That was intense stuff!

[potz555]

the kick/punch combo is amazing, i have no idea how he pulls it off, its just a true art when he fights

[madmoomoo]

omg this guy is awesome, his left kick, knee and body shots are totally world class.  respect respect

[theconqueror]

i forgot to mention that last big guy u see that little ryu fighting is Francisco Filho who ko'ed ernesto hoost the best in K-1 look his name up

[theconqueror]

haha u guys are dumb that say thats a gay art people like andy hugs,fransisco filho use that in K-1 and owned ernesto hoost and its KyoKushin by the way and Mas Oyama is the founder of Kyo Kushin

[hiddindragon08]

Dougieboy88, The reasoning behind standing so close is because much of the defensive measures against stronger/taller people is to jam their technique. In the last bit you'll see how he will grab the Gi and use that to re-enforce his blocks and tie him up a little.

[RADJOGISMEAN]

dude what do you call that kind of martial arts? and where is it originated?

[hiddindragon08]

It's a japanese style -Kyokushin.

[HvPman]

Yup, you have no gloves on your hands, therefore you can't hit with your hands in the face. Btw, anyone know, what is the last song?

[BladeKK]

1rst Song: Story of The Year - Until The Day I Die

2nd Song: Dope - Now or Never

[hirruken]

let's not get into a debate about which martial art is better. Mind you, there are many karate dojo's still dedicated in the tradition and foundation of karate.

[hirruken]

My own dojo is a non-competetive school that is interested in the research of history and maintaing of tradition of karate (Kakurin-Kan or Goju-Kensha).

However, on a lighter note, if we were to get into a argument regarding commercialisation. Take a look at taekwondo and its international standards in each club dedicated to competitions. (Not saying taekwondo is not a great martial art)

[DWINC]

impressive. But he lacks in bodyweight. No match for even light heavy weights like Melvin Manhoef or heavyweights like all the other Dutch K1 masters.

[Chinbo666]

more TKD ppl be like him? maybe if more kyokushin push themselves they can be as good as him,, he might be short but he truly is teh little giant,, anyways to those who asked what style he takes is Kyokushin karate,, and Ashihara is a offshot of kyokushin i believe,, anyways an awesome fighter,, one of the best along wit filho ,kazumi , hug etc etc the list goes on,,

[Philmoscowitz]

i will say this for narushima---and for kyokushinkai more generally: excellent close-quarter kicks.

[kidhadoken]

i too practice jido kwan (forget federations)and i love to see one such as narushima.very inspiring.

[menneskeaben]

what kind of karate is that. It is not goju ryu. But isnt it Ashihara.

[vatskytube]

Great Spirit!!!

[nandansho]

Lets hear it for the Ryu style!

[amthebam]

This guy is awesome, not many could live with him.

[Plato86]

Narushima is a great figther unfortunately he's 3 feet tall.;p

[Shindee]

10x BladeKK

[ByAnyAndAllMeans]

WOW Im a Practitioner of Jidokwan Taekwondo and this just want spurs me to train harder seing such and excellent Martial Artist Narushima is inspiring

[GTcO]

I agree with you man. I wish a lot of TKD people would be as dedicated as him! We would be on top now. Yo, this guy name is Ryu. All he needs is a headband and a friend named Ken.

[toox]

Wow Great Narushima would break Filho if he was at least as tall as him

[madmark27]

ryu narushima is the greatest fighter of all time.pure genius.better than any other.

[dotcom]

wow! that's the same kata jin does tekken4

[siloraptor]

The kata is called yantsu and as far as I know it's only found in Kyokushin. In tekken 4 Jin unlearns Mishima karate and learns Kyokushin karate. You can se a little more of it in my video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v­=iOiB08aMeWg

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J­in_Kazama

[RyuHendrabusa]

What's the name of the song?

[BladeKK]

Story Of The Year - Until The Day I Die

[Shindee]

What about the second song?!

[BladeKK]

1rst Song: Story of The Year - Until The Day I Die

2nd Song: Dope - Now or Never

[Liquidcadmus]

That little guy sure can take a beating, a small powerhouse.

[slingstone]

Hey this clip has K-1's Francisco Filho in his early

Kyokushin days. Narushima had a helluva alotta bushi

heart hanging with an elite striker like Filho

despite the tremendous size and weight disadvantage.

In my personal experience, Muay Thai, Kyokushin and

western boxing is the best stand-up striking combination. Top it off with a little Jeet Kun Do

speed/reflex conditioning for optimum striking prep

at the pro-fighting level.

[Terryc250]

wow hes like a young mas oyama

[Shroomzz]

holy shit nice this guy is great i take kyokushin and lemme tell u at the end his tenique looks great..not to say im a pro
