Kyokushin: Russia vs World

As you probably did not know :), there was a martial art tournament recently in Russia. Russian team vs World Team. Martial arts included: Shotokan Karate, Kyokushin Karate, Sumo, Kickboxing, Sambo, Kudo (Daido juku karate), Viet Vo Dao, Tae Kwon Do, Ashihara Karate, K1, Muai Thai, Fight similar to Pride FC rules, Wushu Sanda, Kapoeira. Guess Who won? 18:1 to Russia. The only fight Russia lost was a Shotokan Karate fight. We won the rest. Russians are coming, we will take over UFC and Pride fighters...

Anyway, in this video you can see Michael (Mihail, Misha) Kozlov (Russia) vs Lucian Gogonel (Romania). Well...if you are from kyokushin I do not have to explain you who they are. But if you are not familiar with Kyokushin, I just tell you that both of them won world and euro cups, they are known for their spirit, toughness, and they fight till the end (never surrender). Russia won here, athough it did not look like Michael dominated the fight but well...russian fights in russia you know...Same why japanese always win worldcups having japanese judges beside them...

Kyoukushin is bad ass. Its about who is tougher and pushing your body to the limit. I dont think i ever seen a fighter train harder than kyokushin fighters. Remember this is bare knuckle and no pads. MMA gloves cant dig into your flesh like knuckles. Watch fightquest or human weapon when they go to japan and i'll bet ppl will stop talkin shit

Kyokushin teaches their fighters how to take pain, plus their fighting philosophy is literary "don't stop"

so if you take on a Kyokushin guy you think he'll pause after a combo, no he'll just keeping hitting you till your down

Canada and US dominate Russians.

Just punching bad, not Karete.

@shihanmac alrighty then, so long yer learning all the pragmatic 'moves' first tis all well and good. truth is I don't really have any complaints, twas just really really high when I wrote that. my apologies. karate for world domination, osu

[shihanmac]

@CrimsonGaze you ask about the face punches, there is no fighting art in the world (street fighting is NOT an art) that allows face punches with bare knuckles, the fighting is also a personal, A PERSONAL !!!!!! test of spirit and endurance. We are taught face punches in the dojo but we dont grab , grapple, hold or throw in our TOURNAMENT fighting, that is not not say again that we do not teach these techniques in our dojos, But this is tournament fighting, NOT fighting for our lives , osu

[CrimsonGaze]

but why no punches to the face? injuries? right, doesn't really seem to fit with their "push your body to the limit" "never stop" and "learn how to take pain" philosophy. heh ... sounds like something from terminator. also that dowcast way to look into each others bared chests makes it strangely exciting; man love?

tell me one thing mate. Who can't punch in the face? I assure you everyone can. And trust me, I'm a begginer in kyokushin, but do you know how kinda hard it is not to hit in the face while competing? And why would we run away from gloves? Kyokushin Karate is hard, and we will punch as hard with the gloves. Besides, we can still kick in the face, and when your opponent has his legs up in the air, you wouldn evenreach wit your hand. And karate with gloves isn't bad either. I might start shotokan
