A fantastic video...thanks for this, KungZoo!!. I started this great M/A at 53, and am going for my blue belt...best thing I have ever done for myself..any help for us older guys would be awesome. Yes, this is considered one of the toughest of the martial arts..the fighting can be brutal!...
@R2Magnum its kyokushin karate (says in the title), sosai oyama was the founder. It's considered by many to be the worlds toughest martial art because its bareknuckle, full contact.
Kyokushin's like a kickboxing thing, itz awesome and gr8 for fighting in tournaments. But how do we defend ourselves in street attacks with it? no grabbing or submission holds! what do we do if multiple ppl come attacking together? The kicks aren't of long range enuf like that of
TKD or Kung Fu, so how do we save ourselves? :| ... No offence really, I'd just be glad if any kyokushin practitioner answers me. Thanks in advance :)
@F91yzg High level Kyokushin incorporates a lot of stand up grappling and locks. Oyama trained in Daito Ryu Aikijutsu for a time and incorporated a lot of that into our goshin-jutsu (self defense). Shihan Bobby Lowe has some videos on Youtube of Kyokushin self defense demonstrations.
@kyokushinjarhead Doesn't all Karate Do use locks at more advanced levels? I come from a Goju Ryu background, so I guess i just thought I learned it there, all the rest must do it too.

Too slow in a real fight, if the opponent had any brains at all the moment this guy kicked he would be bowled over and the attacker on top of him, this style is too "energy wasteful" most fights are supposed to last a max of 3 seconds, what if there were more than one opponent? this style isnt efficient enough....
I trained at Kodokan style Judo and Ueshiba style Aikido for ten years, what I am pointing out is the sticks are thin at the bottom and thick at the top and will break easilly. I have been to karate demonstrations before and offered a length of mahogany for their demonstrations..it was declined. Morihei Ueshiba - The Founder of Aikido was undefeated in all diciplines that came to challenge him. Jigoro Kano's Judo was chosen to train the police force in Japan above the other martial arts.
@pathman2: Ah! I think I know that problem. In Kyokushin Karate (a full-contact, bare-knuckle style) you can knock people out or "draw blood" as much as you want and the guy in the clip is Kenji Midori, a world champion. The style you are talking a Shotokan Karate which is a Semi-contact style. Check out some of the Kyokushin Karate video if you don't believe me.
Brilliant...........he broke two chicken legs.Give him some bamboo or an ash tree to break. There is no force when he kicks the guy holding the pad......he is barely moving. MUPPETS.
Now, Japanese TV channel called FUJITV is irregally behaving as anti-Japanese whereas a public broadcast in Japan! This is being a crazy problem, Japan all TV ch don't report this problem whereas on the internet is being much problem on twitter/youtube/facebook etc.

@Camelthos Ip Mann! And he was a good fighter because he fought all the time, fighting was part of his training. Today they go with all the "Too deadly for sparring" rubbish. It's amazing how people can fail to see the benifits of practice fighting when learning how to fight...
Master Surchai Sirisute who is one of the greatest Muay Thai masters today studied both both Muay Thai and Karate when he was only seven and became a black belt at twelve. He said he learned from karate the philosophy of discipline and respect.
That was some good tecnical and speeded kick! Going to train to get some of that ^^ Nice nice ... next time put some subtitle in it! I can only understant the name of the kicks -.-'
@tshk5271221 Midori Kenji's kicks are awesome - perfect form and great power. Just shows that sometimes the more dynamic kicks and still be practical.
Can I ask you a question by the way? Who are you and attempting the impossible 100-man kumite?? Are you one of the a few famous Kyokushin masters in Japan by any chance?
@tshk5271221 Sorry for the late reply :) I am a Taekwondo practioner and am going to attempt the 100 Man Kumite to raise money for a youth health charity.
Because I'm not involved in Kyokushin I will attempt the event against fighters from multiple styles - TKD, Kyokushin, Kung fu, Boxing, Mauy Thai. Part of what I'm hoping to achieve with this is to promote martial arts to young people - so I'll be showcasing all styles.
I'll fight each style with their rules - head strikes included.
@activeREDlive In a real 100 man kumite, you gotta defeat 100 black belts in a row. But nowadays, you just fight a round or less seriously against all 100 black belts. I hope you're not taking it lightly but which one are you going to do? One thing's for sure is that you're not supposed to spar but fight 100 people at certain level. In Kyokushin, for either side to go soft is absurd and insulting. That's the tradition.
@cruelgrotequeblood Yeah I've been doing a lot of research into how the 100 Man is run and I am not taking it lightly - even though I am having fun with the training :) Like I said above I will be sparring against people from different styles. Also I'm hoping that each of my opponents really give it to me - seriously the last thing I want to do is insult the 100 Man Kumite. Also I am trying to raise $30,000 for a youth health organisation so it's important I do it right.
@activeREDlive So that means you're really going to do some hard sparring with 100 men without rest? Well then good luck! The 100 man kumite is something only a black belt at a very high level, stamina, heart, etc. would challenge. That's why it's one of the most respected tradition in Kyokushin. It's said that the best way to do the 100 man kumite is to knock out the opponent as soon as possible. If you're just going to spar then it might end up being much harder than running a marathon.
LoL. A lot of people here in this post do not even know his name. His name is Midori Kenji, probably the one who's on par with Shokei Matsui, the present chairman of Kyokushin Karatekan. Remember, if you get hit with his kick on your belly, your internal organs will all be destroyed in a second with the blood pumping out from your mouth and you will die instantly. His kicks will knock down any Taekwondo masters with ease. Respect him, do not mock him or underrate him.
but of course we all know that a wooden bat breaks with the grain and not the other. thus the reason its marked witch way to hold it unless you want a peice of a bat flying twoards the pitcher. also breaking it closer to the hands where the diameter is smaller.
ManicLeo, please stop for your own sake. You're nothing but a dumb-ass! The comment you replied with isn't even a proper formed sentence. I'm an immigrant from Thailand and i'll like to congratulate you for being a complete retard.
I think the problem martial artists have is thinking there is ONLY ONE way to do a kick right. A TKD round kick has a purpose at certain distance, a Kyokushin kick has more power at certain distances and MUay Thai is best for leg demolition. Every style of kicking has it's purpose. A good fighter doesn't box himself into a particular system and is open minded to explore all variations.
@BushidoCode72 That is not a problem proper martial artists have, its a problem for would-be martial artists with mail order black belts for 10 bucks.
No matter the style - you fight the way you like and the way you feel most comfortable with adapting to the situation. There is no right way or better way in general.
@Buuub08 There is a right or better way. the different styles have succeded for a reason. Because they're effective. But every move has it's reason so you can't just fight however you want or you'll throw sloppy, slow, powerless hits. It's learning what techniques to use and when. Problem is some styles are more efffective at different areas. For example an american boxer going to simply use punching no matter what the situation is. He wouldn't think to kick cause he doesn't train to kick.
There is no "best style" or "best way" in general, only the one that works best for you. Different styles (mostly Japanese) exist because different people started to train other people with their take on what the best is. This is why instead of ONE martial art system that involves EVERYTHING you have countless one-aspect focused substyles that exist only because some dude came up with the idea "this is the way its ought to be!".
@BushidoCode72 Well just to say i've practiced Karate Kyokushin for many years and we emphasized a lot in leg demolition, as part of the philosophy of Mas Oyama said building fall from the ground up so even though Sosai Kenji Midori explains the high round kick (Jodan Mawashi geri) we prefer to use low leg kicks as its more efficient and less tiring, if you look up the world tournaments you'll see a lot of fights been won by destroying the opponents legs!!
Oh, sorry, I didn't noticed. I have LEARNED the kick, but not whit a roundhouse. Just whitout the roundhouse... And that kick can drive the nose bone into the brain O:!
I've been involved in martial arts for about 20 years. I've trained in both muay thai and karate. I have found that you may loose some power in the head kicks but believe me the speed and angles you can cut make up for it because of the greater ability to fake and hit unovered areas. not only are they faster but believe me when i say this the kicks still deliver way more k.o power than you think. seen more one kick k.os with karate because the kicks are harder to track and people dont expt thm
@IversonRockz for round kicks many styles use the ankle area or the shin bone. both require conditioning. some also use the ball of the foot similar to a front kick. using the actual top of the foot is normally not a good idea as it contains many small bones and the ankle tends to hyperextend. in the end you may need to choose what works best for your body and wether you will be wearing shoes or not. all styles come from different perspectives , but are all valid for different reasons.
You don't actual hit with your foot. You hit the target between your Tarsals and the Fibula (search in dutch wikipedia: Scheenbeen for a pic). However you must bend your toes and feet as far as you can. Quit hitting the target with your feet, this could lead to injury. This kick has the origin of another kick where you hit with the ball of your feet (don't know latin term, but hope you get it), I think this an common misconception. Talk to your sensei!
@deathskunk3 thanks, I'll try kicking with a stretched foot, and hit under my shin instead of with my foot.. most of the time im kicking with shins anyways, except for inside leg kick.. thanks alot, this should help!
Effective and beautiful! But he chambers... and that's definitely not like a Muay Thai kick. In Thai kicks, the kicking leg is dead, all power draws from the hips and the supporting leg. The knee and the push kicks use the same hip movement. So the kick leg is always dead. Trust me, because I 've trained in the art for more than a decade.
we dont snap our kicks.........see the first kick in which he breaks the baseball bats.......he turns his body totally......its because of the targets that he has to stop in between......
I grew up on muaythai, since 8 evn b4 I heard of d word 'karate'. So far, only a Kyokushin karateka I went against has commanded dat much respect from me in a fight & dis vid proves y.
The other forms? Their masters failed to teach them 2 d fullest, but pamper their students' EGO lavishly wif flashy katas. Iv went against such karatekas & boy r they arrogant! To have mistaken a muaythai-kickboxer for a wooden board is a sin...
@dariothompson111 Are you being serious? How on earth could the force of the kick be greater if it depends on the leg motion AFTER the impact? It's the lead up to impact that matters.
And I think it is YOU that Physics 'disagrees' with, seeing as you're suggesting a motion will affect an event in the past... haha
@gigantius2 I hope you're not being serious..O_o The whole idea is obvious and logical. Besides, if you were right, that technique would be horrible to think about the way your match would go. If you were only thinking that it's the most important how you get the kick on a punch in. Or are you using the "one punch one kill" strategy?
@gigantius2 basically @dariothompson111 is talking about the follow through because it's the power you put into it after actually gettting your leg up there and the confidence to follow it through
kyokushinjarhead said "Let him kick you in the head so you can let us know how it's not effective or damaging."
That's a very childish comment you made. You didn't read my other post about why it's important to keep the supporting foot flat when throwing a kick. If he was in a real fight with an individual of his same degree level, he probably would be made to lose balance and then he's the one who gets the kick in the head.
@alwayscoolone If he had thrown that kick the same way he did in the video with the heel flat, he would have twisted his knee badly and probably injured it. Kyokushin has adopted a lot of the same mechanics of executing mawashi geri from Muay Thai after being some of the first karateka to take their challenge to fight, hence why their mawashi geri are different from other more traditional styles.
Not really. Bat or whip. It's a simple principle. I've fed mits to tons of people who all kick differently. I'm not going to argue, just give it a try. Hit yourself in the face with a bat, then with a whip. See what happens. And if you think me comparing karate kicks to whips is ridiculous then you need to learn more karate.
@kbaptiste28 He's a Korean and you think that subtracts from the art? You know, I like that about him, that mas was a Gai-jin, a foreigner, who still made a major impact on the karate world. Karate is now plagued by retarded japanophiles like you who think kata is a good means of protecting oneself.
We use the snap kick in TKD as well, kicking with the foot is kinda hard at first so like in Muay thai when you condition your shin you have to condition your foot in TKD.
Thanks for your tutorial its very good and I like the way you try and use the energy from the ground and realease it as soon as you hit the traget i wonder what would happen if you followed through with full power? Is it possible to rip through a bag, or am i being un scientific?
I like Kyokushin Karate (they got killing body punches), Masutatsu Oyama was a great man, probably the greatest fighter of his time! Kudo is really nice aswell, love the technik of that martial art... ( a traditioanal martial art has a spirit) .
@Paul1984kwon bull killing asshole of a man was oyama. only a talantless oaf would try to prove himself in such a discusting manner. btw, kyokushin was created by a fucking korean.
@pompousfruit - Thanks for clarifying Mr. Kenji Midori's real name. Sorry for my ignorance. As to pivoting, it can be avoided with a proper stance BEFORE throwing a kick. By keeping the supporting foot flat on the floor at the right angle, it avoids pivoting on the ball of the foot, which keeps your balance and control while delivering a powerful kick. All it's needed is a very flexible body structure. I learned that, way back, from the incredible Takayuki Kubota. Cheers.
@alwayscoolone Mr.Kyokushin guy has a name, it's Kenji Midori... try googling it! Nice observation, but the only time he's on the ball of his foot is when he needs to pivot in order to position for a more powerful kick. Pivoting is good because it prevents the kicker from damaging the knee joints.
The important things in Karate are: power, control and stability. When Mr. Kyokushin's left foot hits the pad, you'll notice that the heel of his right foot is NOT resting on the floor, making his stability and control depend only on the ball of the foot. That's not only dangerous when fighting a real oponent, but also it works against the physics of the impact, which doesn't travel back down to the floor, through the heel, and up again to the pad, to make it a more effective and damaging blow.
@alwayscoolone Let him kick you in the head so you can let us know how it's not effective or damaging. Kenji Midori would routinely knock out heavyweights when he himself was about 155 pounds. His technique is gorgeous. The reason why he raises his heel on his supporting foot is to allow himself to pivot more into the blow, thus giving it more impact.
this guy must have the most powerful kicks in the world, i hav'nt seen anyone in the ufc with kicks like his. if anyone knows of someone with better kicks i'd like to check them out and compare.
i train a karate style called Ja-Mi-Wa and we only use the most effective technique's from karate but our kicks are from Sanda/ San Shou which are the same as Muay thai and hit like a truck only started with it a few months but i also practise other martial arts (im only 15 XD )
Holy shit, isn't that Kenji Midori?

I think the problem martial artists have is thinking there is ONLY ONE way to do a kick right. A TKD round kick has a purpose at certain distance, a Kyokushin kick has more power at certain distances and MUay Thai is best for leg demolition. Every style of kicking has it's purpose. A good fighter doesn't box himself into a particular system and is open minded to explore all variations.
BushidoCode72 11 months ago
@BushidoCode72 That is not a problem proper martial artists have, its a problem for would-be martial artists with mail order black belts for 10 bucks.
No matter the style - you fight the way you like and the way you feel most comfortable with adapting to the situation. There is no right way or better way in general.
Buuub08 11 months ago
@Buuub08 There is a right or better way. the different styles have succeded for a reason. Because they're effective. But every move has it's reason so you can't just fight however you want or you'll throw sloppy, slow, powerless hits. It's learning what techniques to use and when. Problem is some styles are more efffective at different areas. For example an american boxer going to simply use punching no matter what the situation is. He wouldn't think to kick cause he doesn't train to kick.
suckmeballsalot 10 months ago
@suckmeballsalot That isnt what i meant.
There is no "best style" or "best way" in general, only the one that works best for you. Different styles (mostly Japanese) exist because different people started to train other people with their take on what the best is. This is why instead of ONE martial art system that involves EVERYTHING you have countless one-aspect focused substyles that exist only because some dude came up with the idea "this is the way its ought to be!".
Buuub08 10 months ago
@Buuub08 Yeah I can agree with that. If you only learn 1 style you limit your capability to fight from different positions.
suckmeballsalot 10 months ago
@BushidoCode72 Well just to say i've practiced Karate Kyokushin for many years and we emphasized a lot in leg demolition, as part of the philosophy of Mas Oyama said building fall from the ground up so even though Sosai Kenji Midori explains the high round kick (Jodan Mawashi geri) we prefer to use low leg kicks as its more efficient and less tiring, if you look up the world tournaments you'll see a lot of fights been won by destroying the opponents legs!!

I've been involved in martial arts for about 20 years. I've trained in both muay thai and karate. I have found that you may loose some power in the head kicks but believe me the speed and angles you can cut make up for it because of the greater ability to fake and hit unovered areas. not only are they faster but believe me when i say this the kicks still deliver way more k.o power than you think. seen more one kick k.os with karate because the kicks are harder to track and people dont expt thm

IversonRockz 1 year ago
@IversonRockz for round kicks many styles use the ankle area or the shin bone. both require conditioning. some also use the ball of the foot similar to a front kick. using the actual top of the foot is normally not a good idea as it contains many small bones and the ankle tends to hyperextend. in the end you may need to choose what works best for your body and wether you will be wearing shoes or not. all styles come from different perspectives , but are all valid for different reasons.
MrByaeger 1 year ago
@IversonRockz
You don't actual hit with your foot. You hit the target between your Tarsals and the Fibula (search in dutch wikipedia: Scheenbeen for a pic). However you must bend your toes and feet as far as you can. Quit hitting the target with your feet, this could lead to injury. This kick has the origin of another kick where you hit with the ball of your feet (don't know latin term, but hope you get it), I think this an common misconception. Talk to your sensei!

IversonRockz 1 year ago
Effective and beautiful! But he chambers... and that's definitely not like a Muay Thai kick. In Thai kicks, the kicking leg is dead, all power draws from the hips and the supporting leg. The knee and the push kicks use the same hip movement. So the kick leg is always dead. Trust me, because I 've trained in the art for more than a decade.

I grew up on muaythai, since 8 evn b4 I heard of d word 'karate'. So far, only a Kyokushin karateka I went against has commanded dat much respect from me in a fight & dis vid proves y.
The other forms? Their masters failed to teach them 2 d fullest, but pamper their students' EGO lavishly wif flashy katas. Iv went against such karatekas & boy r they arrogant! To have mistaken a muaythai-kickboxer for a wooden board is a sin...

@dariothompson111 Are you being serious? How on earth could the force of the kick be greater if it depends on the leg motion AFTER the impact? It's the lead up to impact that matters.
And I think it is YOU that Physics 'disagrees' with, seeing as you're suggesting a motion will affect an event in the past... haha

@gigantius2 I hope you're not being serious..O_o The whole idea is obvious and logical. Besides, if you were right, that technique would be horrible to think about the way your match would go. If you were only thinking that it's the most important how you get the kick on a punch in. Or are you using the "one punch one kill" strategy?

@gigantius2 basically @dariothompson111 is talking about the follow through because it's the power you put into it after actually gettting your leg up there and the confidence to follow it through

That's a very childish comment you made. You didn't read my other post about why it's important to keep the supporting foot flat when throwing a kick. If he was in a real fight with an individual of his same degree level, he probably would be made to lose balance and then he's the one who gets the kick in the head.
alwayscoolone 1 year ago
@alwayscoolone If he had thrown that kick the same way he did in the video with the heel flat, he would have twisted his knee badly and probably injured it. Kyokushin has adopted a lot of the same mechanics of executing mawashi geri from Muay Thai after being some of the first karateka to take their challenge to fight, hence why their mawashi geri are different from other more traditional styles.

Not really. Bat or whip. It's a simple principle. I've fed mits to tons of people who all kick differently. I'm not going to argue, just give it a try. Hit yourself in the face with a bat, then with a whip. See what happens. And if you think me comparing karate kicks to whips is ridiculous then you need to learn more karate.

We use the snap kick in TKD as well, kicking with the foot is kinda hard at first so like in Muay thai when you condition your shin you have to condition your foot in TKD.

@pompousfruit - Thanks for clarifying Mr. Kenji Midori's real name. Sorry for my ignorance. As to pivoting, it can be avoided with a proper stance BEFORE throwing a kick. By keeping the supporting foot flat on the floor at the right angle, it avoids pivoting on the ball of the foot, which keeps your balance and control while delivering a powerful kick. All it's needed is a very flexible body structure. I learned that, way back, from the incredible Takayuki Kubota. Cheers.

@alwayscoolone alright i get it. So you're trying to position into the kick flat footed. That makes perfect sense, i misunderstood.

@alwayscoolone Mr.Kyokushin guy has a name, it's Kenji Midori... try googling it! Nice observation, but the only time he's on the ball of his foot is when he needs to pivot in order to position for a more powerful kick. Pivoting is good because it prevents the kicker from damaging the knee joints.
pompousfruit 1 year ago
Muay Thai is only great if you get taught Muay Boran with it. If you only get the sport version....you need karate to fill in the gaps.
PrsFenderJackson1980 1 year ago
The important things in Karate are: power, control and stability. When Mr. Kyokushin's left foot hits the pad, you'll notice that the heel of his right foot is NOT resting on the floor, making his stability and control depend only on the ball of the foot. That's not only dangerous when fighting a real oponent, but also it works against the physics of the impact, which doesn't travel back down to the floor, through the heel, and up again to the pad, to make it a more effective and damaging blow.
alwayscoolone 1 year ago
@alwayscoolone Let him kick you in the head so you can let us know how it's not effective or damaging. Kenji Midori would routinely knock out heavyweights when he himself was about 155 pounds. His technique is gorgeous. The reason why he raises his heel on his supporting foot is to allow himself to pivot more into the blow, thus giving it more impact.
