I remember having the honor of sparring him a few times at Mr. Saviano's White Tiger school in Lombard. I thought I was a tad special - I was in my physical prime - and Mr. Hackney would kindly pummle me softly with his gloves - and while I stood there drooling he would humbly tell me how to imrpove. He was a class act - like all the leadership I met at Mr. Saviano's. /salute to a true martial artist.
Keith Hackney is amazing!!! Real Bad ass!!! i wish UFC was like this Still. no time limits, no weight classes, and you fight in whatever the hell you show up in!!!! now thats real man shit!!
@Esteban0075 Hell YES!! This was back in the day when it was "pure" martial arts. No one was cross trained. They had their one martial art at their disposal. Karate Vs. Sumo, Tae Kwon Do Vs. Wrestling, Street Fighter Vs. Jiujitsu. No weight classes. No one crying their opponent needs to drop 2 pounds, or no fight. You could weight 150lbs. Your opponent 400lbs. But no one complained. No rules. 2 or 3 kicks to the face was standard.
1:38 this is where i was stoked because i realised this fight would be different... he knew (sort of) how to deal with gracie.... it was great to see someone give him a better fight.... back in the day, on VHS this was the shit...
Too bad Hackney didn't kill that piece of shit Joe Son. Wish he punched his balls up into his throat and chocked the bastard to death. Fu-Q Joe Son. Death to rapists!
@ezzydric he didnt give royce anything,he landed a shot or two on him and then his zero grappling ability got him.In all fairness lots of people would be able for royce,he was never great
@baretgibot BJJ isnt the greatest martial art,it has glaring holes where self defence is concerned and as a stand alone art doesnt cut it in mma anymore.
@billysue2 yes he did compared to the competition pat smith, art jimmerson, van clief, etc gave him. i think Hackney deserves alot more credit than those guys. He also landed many shots and Gracie never really took him down Hackney threw a wild punch which landed and thats what put him in Gracie's guard and eventually led to the arm bar. Gracie had to go to his own back to get Hackney to the ground
@ezzydric keith hardly fought at all after that match,vn clief was over 50 yrs old,jimmerson had no intention of fighting mma nd pat smith fought several times over the next decade or so but was too brainless to learn grappling.Royce didnt care how it got to the ground,only that it did,there would be many people royce could never take down without pulling guard,he wasnt great.
@billysue2 well lets put it this way i dont think Hackney is an extremely good fighter i just think he's a decent fighter and i think that he gave Gracie a better fight than most fighters did. Gracie could not just take him down and submit him like nothing he had to approach him differently after his takedowns were countered. Bottom line is that i think Hackney gave him a much better fight than most.
I know joe son is a rapist and all but hackney just embarrassed himself. I mean he's a second degree black belt in kenpo, chuck lidell is a black belt in kenpo too and he would never fight that dirty.
Those ballshots were legal in that tournament and he would've been crazy not to do that. Chuck would do the same to any balls if he could get away with it.
@Slagtheangry LOL ture, i dont know though, he comes out saying " I train in the ART of kenpo karate", any martial art that teaches you to bash a guys balls in isnt really an art in my mind. O well, atleast joe son got what was coming to him.
Stumperx This is the real deal here karate kid. I just don't like your karate bullshit. If you ever make it in the ufc or strike force than bravo. until then, Know your roll; and shut your hole.
@040519672008 i'm not sure if there were previous conversations between you two but yes bjj and wrestling are needed big time in ufc and any fighting organization now adays but in a street fight where there are no rule karate will beat any style of martial arts and in my oppinion american kenpo is the best for street fighting ( defensivley) but i'm sure you have your own oppinion which i will not say is correct or incorrect because it is just an oppinion.
I remember this fight when at 1:48 he was bagging this guy. the guy was from Kimo's camp. That night, Kimo came in carrying a huge wooden cross over his shoulders. The other dude tried to do the same, but the cross was too big and the guy busted his butt walking in! Hackney was puinching him in the sack, then the face, sack, face, We were all yelling "TAP OUT! Dang man TAP OUT!" he probably never did have kids!
Killcoons1 Chances are your mommy and daddy didn't get the best education and you are following in their footsteps. I really hope your insecurities and hate will die one day, because heaven knows what you would do the day your girlfriend starts cheating on your abusive ass with some big black dude.

Get a dick extension and you won't be so pissed off like the rest of us well hung white guys!
What the hell has that to to whit anything, my friend is in the navy and gets fucked evertime we roll in training, hand to hand combat is a tiny bit of there training
Navy seals don't train heavily in hand to hand combat eaither, no military unit does that, there are soldiers who train in hand to hand combat while they going through there basic training, otherwise its mostly just a few self defence moves
If you were not just talking out of your ass you would know that SEALs train heavily in all types of combat from hand-to-hand and improvised weapons, to tactical nuclear warfare. They may not do that well in MMA because rules are not their style, just killing as people fast as humanly possible.
Maybe so, but hand to hand combat is not high priority for SEALS or any other armed force in the world, SEALS will be able to beat the crap out of just about anybody else but comparing a Navy SEAL to a pro MMA fighter is just stupid, MMA fighters spend 100% of their time training for fighting unarmed, SEALS maybe like 2%
ah the good old days when when mma was brutal and style was more purely practiced keth used the most practical kimpo it is mostly ineffective now that we see more ty boxers in the sport machida is the only one left that uses karate and is effective with it
Alot of what I've seen of his ground fighting is alot of basic sraight foreward grabs to the kneck and other techniques like it that aren't fancy, but effective.
you cant compare every martial arts style to UFC champs. He may not be on par with chuck liddell, but you gotta admit. keith hackney could whip most people on the street
lol its nice to see he has a fan because after Joe Son he had no fans. they booed him when he won and i guess people can forgive but then he lost his other fights. so really he won in 1 fight, vs emmanuel. no one liked him, that actually went to these competitions.
