It's amazing to me that people that don't understand Karate feel the need to come in here and judge this extremely basic kata. This is exercise, Kyokushin Karateka are well known for their fighting abilities and the creator of the style is documented fighting and killing bulls. This, to me, is better than any undocumented claims of death touches or the like. I have a great respect of Traditional Chinese martial arts, but I feel like a true martial practitioner, in any art, is extremely rare.

lets see if u can survive 30 seconds kumite against kyokushin girls

@Pointingtothemoon EDIT: the thought that the kata was lame

[Pointingtothemoon]

@Barazzutti87 specifically, I was just replying to people that thought the kata was lame, or that it demonstrated a lack of ability. I don't like the idea of killing animals to demonstrate your skill, but it is clear that it does show that Mas Oyama was a capable karateka. This is in contrast to any old legends and stories, of which there is little proof. I love Chinese martial arts, but many practitioners scoff at karate, yet are unwilling to go head to head, like the masters of old.

@Pointingtothemoon Because a true warrior have to kill a bull...i'm a karateka but i never understand how a karate master that must teach harmony and respect for everything have to kill an animal to demostrate his power... (by the way there's a video where a man fight's a bear too, so believable...

The bottom line is, it doesn't matter what style you learn or don't learn. If you don't know how to use your fighting art, you lose, period. In tournaments, it is not a stand off of style vs style but fighter vs fighter. If a karate fighter loses to a tae kwon do fighter, does this mean tae kwon do is better? No. It means the fighter himself is better, not the art. Whether you're learning karate, kung fu, boxing, whatever, it all comes down to the roots of practical experience.

[KyojiK]

I love it when people bring in competition as a means to measure fighting art vs fighting art. Sorry to burst the delusional bubble, but competitions mean shit to determine what is a good fighting art because of rules and restrictions. Actual combat experience and tournament experience are two different things. I've seen karate practitioners who had no tournament experience floor local champions of other styles because they come from a background where REAL fighting is their life.

@baard91 dunno but he can kick quite high

[baard91]

Is there anyone here who knows who the person doing the kata is?

[Pointingtothemoon]

@robertvoice However, your idiotic prattling is just ignorant. If you want to prove your style, do it like the old Chinese masters did. Enter a tournament or duel. If you want something with more open rules, you can compete in an amateur MMA fight. Shaolin has been taught by charlatans for generations. I wouldn't be surprised if good teachers existed, but the likelihood that you, personally, have found one is virtually nil. If Shaolin is so great, why was it burned to the ground so often?

[Pointingtothemoon]

@robertvoice There is an easy way to prove yourself, to fight. Karate, most especially sport karate has been watered down. Kyokushin as well... (they don't allow punches to the head). However, in a more open rules sport, like UFC Kyokushin seems to translate very well, especially compared to Kung Fu or Taekwondo. All respect to Kung Fu, it is the mother of all styles, and Kung Fu just means, loosely, "skill acquired over time and effort".
