Bas Ruten would be in heaven watching this clip yelling "liver shots"!

What I love about this is the control. You don't see this in the MMA. It's just KILLLLLLLLLLL.

With the true art of fighting there's at least respect and no bravado.

the true essence of kyokushin karate is to fight empty handed. hence no gloves in fights; therefore, any head blow would make the competition too dangerous and too easy. IMO no punches at head/face level is allowing the fighters to really show off their varied skills and techniques.

plus kyokushin like other karate have techniques that are banned in competitions but are used mainly for real fighting (e.g. strikes to the crotch, knee joint, etc)

@evilherojoseph what psychedashell said + its not legal to punch the head. why? cause theyu hit so hard you could get brain damage. kicks must be dimmed controlled for it to be a valid score, if you overdo it you are out.

1) so, no punching the head, kicks are more viewable and easier to get out of, henceforth the close distance.

2) kyokushin works on body conditioning to sustain heavy blows, while practicing power hits, again close distance fighting.

@evilherojoseph It's not that blocking is illegal, some of these guys can and will dislocate your arm if you try and stop their kicks, sometimes it's just better to get the hell out of the way. Watch a video that's not a highlight reel for knockouts and you'll see that some of these guys have awesome defensive movements.

@bla7091 Only in competition, you train with head punches.

@evilherojoseph They don't strike the head, just kicks to the head in this sport
