@ubersum1 its the same in thai the kick is meant to come down at a 45 bdegree angle, aimed at the neck, thigh, slightly different when kicking midsection, this is originally a thai kick adopted by kyokushin dont forget Oyama trained with the thais! also in taekwon do he was a korean!!!



[ubersum1]

@MikaelUmaN it's because the stance is different that, although the kick may hit with similar parts of the leg, it ends up looking very different. even in a taller muay thai style stance, the kicks are far more "whippy" than in muay thai. i personally prefer kyokushin kicks, it's the best of both worlds (quick and powerful)

[MikaelUmaN]

@ubersum1 kyokushin can hit both with instep and shin. From what I have heard/seen, kyokushin kicks and muay thai kicks are basically the same except for the differences you see in tournaments due to kyokushin not allowing face punches.

[ubersum1]

ladies and gents! please don't comment unless you have a clue!

muay thai kicks are horizontal to the ground, aim to hit with the shin, and go round on the rotational power of the hips. THIS IS NOT ONE. this is kyokushin, see the DOWNWARD angle of the kick, the straightening of the instep (hitting point), and the fact that the straightening of the leg from chamber is what makes the power. it's faster but less powerful. this is kyokushin!!

@utb008 that's not a thai roundhouse! ya fuckin gimp!!! how can you call yourself a martial arts fan if you can't distinguish?!

@Keyvanizator If you were a carpenter you would hit this nail right in. Sorry for the corny joke I just wanted you to know I share the same view. Too many people are quick label something under their perfered art, but just dont seem to understand that every art has something to offer and techniques to learn. For instance I did shotokan before kyokushin and now I have the most impressive kicks out of the lot. Now I leave with a famous bruce lee qoute "A punch is punch, and a kick is a kick."

[Svittidiu]

What does it matter whether you do Muay Thai or Karate? How different can a kick be in the end?

[Thefighterspider]

@utb008 That's that he is kyokushin, not thai fighter. And many thai fighters would powned by him. So that's the point.

[Karateforlife777]

Do you guys have a Dojo in Tokyo? Is there a website or an Address or both? I would love to stop by and visit next time I'm in Japan.

[utb008]

Hmm...what's the point of him being a Kyokushin champ if he's doing Thai roundhouse...wearing Thai shorts?
