I think Kyokushin is more about taking hits, and Shotokan is more about realistic fighting not so much a sport because they alow full contact punches to the face and in most countries they wear zero protection besides hand wraps, which is mostly so no blood gets on people. kyokushin dosent even alow head punches which looks stupid cause they are like 10 inches from eachother not gaurding their faces... Shotokan you have to get in and out with a KO punch, its awesome!!!
shotokan won
