Martial Arts Odyssey: Kyokushin Selengor (Part 1)

Brooklyn Monk, Antonio Graceffo travels to Selengor, Malaysia, where he meets Shihan Michael Ding, Malaysia premier instructor of Kyokushin. Billed as the worlds hardest karate, Kyokushin is one of very few traditional martial arts which is well respected in fighting circles. In Kyokushin they condition every part of their body for toughness and spar bare-knuckles, full contact. Watch Antonio wince as he absorbs bare-knuckle punches to the chest and abdomen. Punches to the face are not allowed, but kicks to the head and face are. Antonios primary trainer, Paddy Carson, is a second degree black belt in Kyokushin and recommend that Antonio seek out this incredible art, originally developed by Mas Oyama.

Why aren't you wearing a gi? Cool video though, it makes me want to train Kyokushin. I hope I do it one day, I'm too busy with Brazilian Jujitsu at the moment (nothing wrong with that though).

@MegaRhettButler I dont wear a ghi because I dont practice kyokushin. I was only there for filming and sparring.

Would you ever travel to Korea and learn about Taekwondo or New Zealand and learn about Mau Rakau or Maia.
