  • how many open world tournaments have you won. Karate is useless against muay thai? Tell that to Andy Hug or Francisco Filho. I'd like to see you complete a 100 man kumite. Also it is not a matter of style all effectiveness relies on the efforts and dedication of the practicioner. Your ignorance is astounding and obscene. Go troll somewhere else.

  • all this garbage talk about what style is better please, that is dumb as hell to argue about. Bottom line it comes down to the individual and ho ward they train and how natural they are at fighting

  • BEST ANSWER on this subject: I do not like to get in the habit of saying one style is better than others. In regards to karate as a sport-I believe tournament compeition, that while it has some benefits, it does create a mindset and habits that will not work for actual combat. I also agree that when you can not attck the joints, eyes, throat, fingers, groin, etc that a true martial artist would not be able to effectively use their style.

  • @555hansy All training can and should be enjoyable. The best in anything enjoy what they are doing. Perhaps what the krav maga "guy" meant was that the focus should not be on making it fun as opposed to it automatically being fun for anyone who likes to train. I am 50 years old and have been in one fighting art or another for 41 years. I have, and still do enjoy the riggers and pain of training hard and with conviction. I still enjoy "first contact" than the training starts lol.

  • @budokichigai 2) the "hood" and we had a way of holding a person down with our weight and one arm in order to "work" with the other. All of a sudden that age old method is called "ground n pound" lol! When it comes to many of the positions (full mount, cross side, north/south) you would scrape the meat off your knees if you were on pavement. The last place you want to be is on the ground fighting for an armbar! Basic escapes, reversals and the 9 most high % subs. The rest save for the cage.

  • @budokichigai You are right on point with your comment! people act like fighting started with Muay-Thai and BJJ! There is a reason the entire syllabus of marital arts does not get taught to combat forces. It is because at least 50% of what they teach is low %. Add that to the fact that most martial arts are not taught in the manner they were meant to be taught and you end up paying good money to learn how to get your ass kicked. All the talk about "ground fighting" gets out of hand. I am from

  • @1banryukyu No there is no misunderstanding between us Sir. Thank you for the info. Karate-Do. Osu

  • @koden24 Sir

    Thank you for your reply. I do not want there to be any misunderstanding about Mr. Oyama's art, Kyokushin. And Mr. Oyama himself who was Zainichi (a Korean that was a Japanese permanent resident) and his art which was based on Okinawan Karate. Thank you for your time. Osu

  • @1banryukyu Was Korea occupied by Japan or Part of Japan? Yes I know about the Shotokan and Okinawan Karate.
