Kyokushin karate belt testing

[@rage8673]

This belt test is harder than what i used to have.

[@crisalcantara7671]

What karate style did you train?

[@JohnPatrick8242]

I wish KyoKuShin had a dojo here, it’s a powerful art that makes rocks of their martial artists.

[@kosalaherath-bg8mm]

I wish that became true

[@sethplate7176]

Kyokushin is a very powerful style. It gives you VERY strong kicks, powerful body punches and proper conditioning (hands, feet and torso), but it has weak points. No punches to the head, bad footwork in most of the cases. You need boxing for that. I would also learn some muay-thai (elbows, knees, clinches etc.). I personally also add head butts from Lethwei, because they are REALLY effective.

[@flowrepins6663]

​@@sethplate7176when you practise a striking art you should suplement its weak spots with other striking arts indeed but way better to practise a grappling art like judo, wrestling instead. Sanda is likely the most complete striking art followed by muay thai. Doing sanda and bjj or a grappling art would be pretty well rounded

i used to train it as a kid, only saw pictures of him, First time i actually see a video of him speaking. He seemed to be a very high spirited man

[@crisalcantara7671]

Do a little research about him and you'll be shocked to see his accomplishments and training methods

The Kyokushin set the standard OSU 🙏🏻🥋

[@nappyheaded]

I might be imagining this but I think Oyama is speaking in a Korean accent.

[@JohnPatrick8242]

Interesting, as Masutatsu Oyama was born Choi Young-Eui, in what is now North Korea before the Great War split the two nations. He was notably close to Choi Hong Hi, who at one point attempted to convince him to merge his school into TaeKwan-do.

[@prvtthd401]

Yes, he was a born korean migrating to japan. How did you know?

[@nappyheaded]

@@prvtthd401 JohnPatrick probably knew because Oyama is a famous martial artist.

[@PeterLyons-x4f]

He's Korean

Wow very rare video ,thanks from a kykushin-OSU

Pushing weights in a gym might not make you stronger at karate, but it will damn sure make you stronger when you have to pick up heavy shit in your daily life. I know this first hand.

[@abuumair415]

he was talking about "will", for your kind information

[@sassuki]

@@abuumair415 no, also about strength, because weight lifting barely works inner muscles.

[@sassuki]

The question is: how often do you lift heavy shit in your daily life? unless you are a construction worker or something similar, you won't need to train pushing weights. And even then, you don't need to train with very heavy weights. I only do calisthenics, and it's more than enough for daily stuff. The worst I had to lift was a cement bag of 50kg. No problem whatsoever.

[@hasanc1526]

Where's the full video

[@ryuueda4061]

The title of the full video is 'Oyama Masutatsu "The Godhand"'

[@aardvarkhendricks6555]

Lifting weights doesn't make you stronger? 🤔

[@rh142000]

Subtle difference between "doesn't make you stronger" and "won't make you strong", but it's there.

[@tshepokotelo3162]

​@@rh142000I know alot of people who are big from lifting weights but they aren't very strong. It is true, lifting weights doesn't make you strong. Calisthenics is better than lifting weights for strength training

[@DouglasGomesBueno-jw9lh]

​​@@tshepokotelo3162more Mass = more Strengh and lift Weight increase mass that's why HW fighters are stronger than LW fighters because the Mass.

[@DouglasGomesBueno-jw9lh]

​​@@tshepokotelo3162But Being Strong it's only one small part of the fight you needs Timing, Speed, Skills to learn use all your Strengh too.

2:53 Really? Let this punk try armwrestling with those, who train in the gym.

[@nappyheaded]

Mas Oyama was incredibly strong in his youth. I think he's saying ONLY going to the gym won't make you strong at least for martial arts. There was this massive 260 pounds of pure muscle body builder who called out this famous mixed martial artist named Nick Diaz. Nick laughed at his face.

[@sassuki]

@@nappyheaded no, he ment NOT going to the gym at all. He favoured training in nature, with rocks and trees.

[@quaxifaddl8928]

Hold a stick horizontally with both hands and jump forwards and backwards over it only works with the right proportions. A good examiner and trainer should know this!

[@realitywithmj4334]

would have been cool at that time to have the gracies, gokor's, catch wrestlers, etc. to have had what mma is now. without fatboy white

[@dantankunfiveancestorsfist]

Imagine if the Asian- Oriental martial arts JMA, CMA, KMA, Thai etc. were not shared to the outside world?

[@MegaHitman666]

​@dantankunfiveancestorsfist savate > Tai boxing , Catch wrestling superior to Judo , boxing superior to Karate . Chine arts are in Another level of course specially Tai Chi . So, not much would be desired from Japanese arts .

[@anass7963]

well for example we can talk about a legend of MMA George St Pierre if you want but before that I suggest you to go take a look about the martial art he use and how strong Is he @@MegaHitman666

[@quaxifaddl8928]

To discuss this or that karate is better or worse or this or that martial art is better or worse is very naive. Ultimately, it doesn't matter. People make it!

[@sassuki]

It does matter. There are martial arts that better prepare people for serious situations than others. Karaté is indeed very well rounded: it has punches, kicks, throws and joint locking. Judo for example only does throws; BJJ only does ground fighting (which is basically useless on the street); Western boxing only prepares for punches in a sports context (gloves give you bad habits); etc
