The founder of the yiquan japanese substyle known as taikiken, was a close friend to the founder of kyokushin.

For a time the taikiken founder stayed in, and taught out off, the kyokushin headquarter.

Many oldschool kyokushin profiles trains taikiken on the side. Many younger kyokushin profiles and champions has trained it to some extent at some point.

[hotpopcorncake]

why would he practice this style?

[razsecret]

Because it feels so good!!!

[rAFiCoRe]

@hotpopcorncake cause it helps developing a spontanious fighting method, which is important if you are under pressure because you are fighting.

[hotpopcorncake]

@rAFiCoRe It's interesting why would he train in such a hard style, then all the sudden adapt a soft style, it's just strange this teacher combine style when kyokushin kickass already that's like enought.

[rAFiCoRe]

@hotpopcorncake: karate is not a hard style, it just appears that way. of course tensening the muscles developes muscular strength and endurance, yet you also need soft elements. training an external style wrecks your ankles over time, you need a soft art to balance the damage, many karateka also practice taijiquan for this reason. last, you need to be able to apply what you've learned under pressure. taikiken developes a "no-form", without fixed movements or strategy, it is all spontanious.

[hotpopcorncake]

@rAFiCoRe it's wreck your ankle how ? i try to balance it out but i feel like I'm not gaining nothing out of it. you a black belt so i wouldn't know.

i just wondering , like people sometimes make myth's training.. for example muay thai you get arthritis on the legs and hands.

[rAFiCoRe]

@hotpopcorncake karate movements might be powerful, but they are rather unnatural, the body isn't ment to move this way. i know a lot of people that for example practiced taekwondo and now have messed up knees. same with karate. you really do need some type of qigong to heal your body. take hirokazu kanazawa for example: one of the highest ranked karateka in the world who practices taiji every single day. next year, he turns 80. nuff said.

[etreke]

@rAFiCoRe u get messed up knees by kicking in messed up ways that arent taught in tkd. taiji's not so different. it just *looks* more natural cz of the soft nature. kick a taiji master in a messed up place, and he'll get a messed up body part too. not dissing u or anything, just stating my view. i practice wing chun and tkd, so i got a background to speak from.

[psychedashell]

@rAFiCoRe There's a teacher in my dojo at 76 years old his knees are fine. The knees are just easy to mess up, simple as that. I know basketballers, netballers, football players, aikido practitioners, racing car drivers, horse riders, pilates instructors, yoga instructors and people who simply don't do any sport with messed up knees. As strong as they are in some directions every joint has a way it isn't meant to move, stepping awkwardly on a rock can bust a knee.
