KYOKUSHIN KNOCKOUTS 8th World Open Karate Tournament pt.1

[@10moonj]

Some of these jokers bashing these martial artists, should step up and try and fight one. Speaking as someone who trained with kyokushin fighters, they hit harder than almost any other style in the world. And without any padding at all. These guys are tough as hell, and would knock you the fuck out

people forget that all forms of karate revolve around combat AND ENDURANCE. Give em your best shot they wont even feel it.

[@omarkenoh]

I'm a practinor of taekwondo and kickboxing and am also an avid fan of MMA. However, as cool and exciting as TKD, Kickboxing, and MMA are, they are nothing near to the brutality, the discipline, the strength, and power behind these kyokushin fighters. This is fighting to a totally new level and for those who say they have no defense, try hitting them, they're actually pretty hard to catch off guard. Slow kicks? I agree, but they don't hit lightly either. Only face punches? If you haven't noticed, they're not wearing gloves, so until humans evolve to have stone-hard faces with teeth made of steel, none of us would withstand a round in that type of situation.

[@omarkenoh]

@@samsun01 here is an answer from china. I hope you can pay a visit to chinese internet world and let us tell you how kungfu is. In china, whether traditional martial arts have great practical use has been debated for some years. Traditional chinese marial arts is somewhat useful, but it also contains many ineffective or wasteful skills because they don't evolve and some martial artists are liers or too tubborn. However, kyokushin karate is a parragon of evolving and its skils are widely appreciated in our country. As to the Shaolin monks you talk about....well maybe you watch too many kungfu movies. Many shows they present are fake. Also, the real modern shaolin fighters might prefer to practice sanda but not traditional martial arts.

Brings back memories. 30-35 years ago, we started mixing TKD tournaments with the Karate schools. For the first couple of years the TKD fighters would clean up pretty much every fight very quickly but the interesting thing was that the Karate guys were starting to turn up to our TKD classes (secretly I might add) and started getting their kicks up, started spinning and more importantly started getting some parity in the tournaments. I notice that some of these competitors look as though they too have been to a few TKD-type classes.

[@bhaverly]

+Saint Barthélemy not what it use to be

[@냄새꾸리꾸리한발까락]

If I recall correctly, fighting on ships played a huge role on how Karate was formed in its early days. Hence the reason why stance and kicks of Karate plays big role on stabilization (over moving surface). But over time, just like many other Martial Arts, it evolved and brought forth variations of Karate. Also, a practitioner who take daily dosage of strikes to their body ( and also dealing them) will have much better tolerance to pain etc than someone who spar with pads.

[@catlike4456]

+Saint Barthélemy We got to consider also that the old rule of the "Loyal japanese Spirit" instruct that you need to be loyal to your discipline and to be "the best at" by using that discipline. People in asia weren't looking to mix sumo, greek wrestling, Karate, kung fu, jiu jitsu to become a fighter that will suceed in any kind of combat situation. One of the first fighters to do that was Bruce Lee. MMA gave a venue for fighters to "excel at total fighting" while the other arts keep providing the tradition of the style.

[@wilhard45]

+Grecks Hanma -- Bruce Lee was nowhere near the first to combine martial arts. Kajukenbo was developed in the late 1940's before Bruce Lee started training in martial arts. Kajukenbo included karate, judo/jujitsu, Kenpo and Chinese style boxing although other forms of martial arts are said to be included. one of the key founders, Adriano Emperado, a student of Wm. K. S. Chow in Hawaii, went with the mantra of whatever works. I am sure there are many others. Most of the Chinese martial arts developed in a similar fashion. If he does this and I do that, I win. Followed by the next guy and so on. My complaint with Kyokushin is they act like it is full contact and have zero control. This is sport karate and excessive strikes used to get you disqualified. I wonder how these Kyokushin fighters would fare in a full contact MMA tournament.

[@rodrigobezerra7547]

Great words. I want add some: the physical condition doesn't come from your art, but from your focus. You can train Judo or Taekwondo and have the resistance of a dancer, if your objective is the olimpic fight. But real marcial artists from those arts are not necessarily inferior. Physical training is not standart by a art. Everything depends of your personal training, whatever be your(s) art(s). :)

I think what you're describing now is more of a matter of personal preference for certain techniques than a matter of style. I'm sure there are older KK practitioners who are equally skilled at using techniques to quickly dispatch opponents just as there are older boxers who still swing for the ropes every time they get in the ring.

[@inn3r_p3ac3]

People bash on about styles blah blah blah, grappling is best blah blah blah. Oh no clinches. Honestly martial arts is your own journey, what do you want out of it. For me kyokushin is about learning to deal with life. Teaches you about mental toughness, it encourages to fight hard and I got a good class that helped me to be as tough as I could, I’m back into it tomorrow and keen to get my black belt. I’ll do it as long as I can because it brought out the best in me. I love it. It may not be mma or Muay Thai, but it definitely brings my spirit. We all got something to get out of each style but the meaning has to come from within, once you know it that’s all you need 😁

there used to be punches to the face in Kyokushin but it was removed some time ago to add more challenge to the tournaments. and to avoid serious injuries since there is no protection whatsoever in kyokushin. A point system is extremely rare in kyokushin, it's mostly knockdown/out or judges decision at the end of a round. and the system of kyokushin is based on taking the hits everywhere on your body to toughen up. or at least it was like that during my training. hope that helps a bit...

I started with a McDojo school, having a kata-heavy karate instructor 30 years experience while also having a BJJ white belt in Gracie Combatives opened that school. I didn't know it then, I just wanted to learn. The fool had us spar each other even with just a couple of days training, resulting in my broken toe and cranked neck. Then I saw National Geographic Fight Science about Kyokushin and I loved it! Trained there for years while I also trained in BJJ, saw the various conditioning in KK that's really tough. They will tell you to do hard conditioning and when you can no longer breath and stand, then they will pair you up, round robin style, to spar each other, then face the senpai. I miss those days.

[@kanerobertson7930]

Alvin Elmore That's because you're uneducated in the intricacies of grappling and don't know what you'r looking at. And considering that the largest portion of fights end up on the ground, it's foolish to neglect your ground game. “You should not have any special fondness for a particular weapon, or anything else, for that matter. Too much is the same as not enough. Without imitating anyone else, you should have as much weaponry as suits you.” -Miyamoto Musashi

[@ScholarVisual]

kane robertson I said it was more entertaining to watch not that grappling was inferior as a technique. I understand grappling takes an extreme amount of skill, but at the end of the day the matches still just end up looking like two guys on the ground hugging each other. That gets boring after awhile. Here they are more up right and you get more strikes Again, my argument is not that grappling does not take skill, my argument is that its boring to look at. Golf is an extremely skilled sport but it is also boring to look at. At lest for me.

My first lesson I had to spar with a black belt and the body shots were taking the air out of my lungs. I find this more painful then a KO that you don't know what hit you. Those punches break you down slowly, not only physical but also mentally. I'm definitely going back and train with those guys. Don't stick to one style of martial art, a wise man told me that once.

The nice thing about Kyokushin is that it teaches you what it feels like to take bare-knuckle strikes to the body. Boxing teaches you what it's like to take a punch (albeit a padded one) to the head/face, but the punches you get to the body from boxing are not like those you get in Kyokushin competition (unless practicing boxing bare-knuckle).

[@NexxGenDrue]

@G G Maybe a little bit because you’d be familiar with some form of striking, even if it is more theatrical. But if I’m wanting striking in a street fight I’d take Muy Thai anyday. From what I’ve seen in research Jiu Jitsu is the most effective for self defense, especially since the overwhelming majority of street fights end up on the ground.

[@TTSetters]

I train Taekwondo. I think you have to round out your style though, a roundhouse in TKD is that whole knee straight up, and pivot back foot and knee out chamber and back type stuff, where if you train Muay Thai and mix TKD in (like for example, a back kick - my fav kick of all time that and the spinning back kick, or roundhouse combo to back kick) you'll find yourself effective in fighting. In Muay thai there are set ups like if you are reg stance, you toss a 1-2, on your 2 you sort of step out front foot to the side to get a roundhouse in. In TKD you couldnt do a traditional roundhouse or your knee would just hit the abdomen of they guy (which muay thai you'd just thrust your hips out more and just knee the crap out them). Yep.

Kyokushin, a straight forward form built for Offensive Strikes and and counters, I believe this Style requires more then Agility and Endurance, it's about discipline towards the art and loving to the end.

Sadly I did not finish my training since the school was closed down and was family operated in Private quarters. But we did have Gi's and Senior Students at the time, one was a Yellow belt, One Blue belt, and two Brown belts.

[@Alexandre1453]

Once punches to the head are not allowed in Kyokushin, but the fights end up with KO, 99% of the fights are composed of different kinds of kicks. Regarding punches, all we see are clumsy strikes to the chest, with poor posture, one after the other in a sequence, 'till one falls on the floor with pain as hell - looks like a sad and pathetic street fight. If punches to the head were allowed, everything would change.

[@Alexandre1453]

Sadistic Pink They don't have money to buy it?

[@Alexandre1453]

Sadistic Pink Sorry, but, yes they are. You are able to do just to what you train and get used to. Kyokushin fighters don't know basic things about striking tecnhiniques and strategies like distance control and so on; in a real fight against any trained fighter from kickboxing or Muay Thai, they would lose easily. And let's be honest: full-contact fighters who don't want to get injured are probably in the wrong place. They're just humans; I'm pretty sure they don't have rocks instead of hands. Kyokushin fighters who went to MMA (like one of the best of all time, George Saint-Pierre) never get to kill someone or break the skull of an opponent. That's just a lame excuse for a child crying that says "Whem!, I don't wanna wear gloves, whem!...

[@Supershoutmon]

Gallagher Hunter i was about to argue but you know what fuck it you're wrong that's all there is to it im too lazy too argue

[@timblaylark5605]

Having trained in both MMA and Full Contact, I offer that its the fighter not the style. Also I found that full contact fighting was a great primer for MMA, just like my Judo was a great primer for ground fighting period. Erik Paulson who was a shoot boxe champion and my grappling coach taught us not to adhere to only 1 form of grappling. We used bjj of course but also, catch wrestling and the like. Even my Muy Thai coach Greg Nelson (Shawn Sherk, Brock Lesnar) taught from the same method. Every form of full contact striking was encouraged boxing, muy thai and full contact. It was the variety that gave us conditioning. We still had to go use it in the cage and the ring but we were very prepared. As for Kyokushin itself I would like to add this. No other art that I'm aware has the 20-100 man Kumite. Just one guy after another until you fall. It is the most grueling fighting I've seen. I respect the cage but I also respect the mental and physical discipline to fight even 20 guys in a row without rest.

+Omar Mix Same, have just been rewatching the Dragon Ball's first tournament, wanted to know how it looks like in real life, and gosh the fights are really boring...they're barely allowed to hit each other anywhere... pff....

[@richardbutler4962]

I've done boxing, MMA and Muay Thai and I can say Kyokushin is way more devastating than the onlooker realises. Try standing there and taking full on bare knuckle punches to your body, and un protected kicks to your legs - these guys make it look so easy and soft, but an untrained person takes one thigh kick and goes down (think footballer for example).When new tough people come to the club they take a long time to get truly hard enough to fight in this. Not trying to prove anything here, just go along and do some full contact sparring if you want to know how it really feels

[@qlvecchiopaiodijeans]

I trust you but have to tell you one thing I noticed: that is that their punches seem really weak. For sure it ll be different, but that 's how they look.. Those punches are very different from boxers's punches..

[@enigmaticone6559]

That's because they aren't wearing boxing gloves. If they don't hold back a little they're liable to killing or seriously hurting each other.

[@Kude1707]

or breaking their hand. When boxers used to fight bare knuckled they couldn't throw punches anywhere near as hard as they can now. Also no one died during bare knuckle fights your hand gives out first try hitting someone in the chin with your bare fist it hurts a lot the jaw and any part of the skull for that matter is incredible strong for obvious reasons

[@bahilleli]

Wow - this is an exciting martial art to watch, some of those hits had incredible power behind them... Does Kyokushin train differently from other forms of Karate?

[@simpatiko86]

yes

[@MrPhotographerDude]

It's kind of stupid that it's mostly a contest of who can take more pain.

[@shingouki6392]

karate summed up.

[@lolcatjunior]

Pencil Jockey Isn't boxing like that too?

[@MrPhotographerDude]

lolcatjunior No not really....hence the gloves.

[@lolcatjunior]

Pencil Jockey but in these types of tournaments head punches aren't allowed.

[@MrPhotographerDude]

lolcatjunior eh

[@mandalorian1994]

Imagine some of these guys in the marine corps or in the special forces. Now that's scary! Give these fighters a lot of credit and respect

[@GatorsFan2138]

Skyrim2018 well this is unarmed combat. Yes it’s somewhat used overseas but there’s a reason why most militaries use primarily grappling based moves. You don’t have time to stand and bang, you need to move in and kill the guy then move on IF you can’t deploy your weapon. Not that this isn’t applicable in military settings-it’s just not as beneficial as knowing judo/wrestling/jiujitsu. Muay Thai is used as a basis for striking-but the goal is to use your weapon.

[@jhonnalbisa8422]

1:20 who's dad is this?

[@tickyul]

Great post.....2rd dan in Pilates here, I always hear the snide comments.

[@corvanjer]

Right, and being in the "guard" on the street is such a smart move...Great you've got one guy pinned awesome! Don't worry about the 3 other members who will just let you try to submit the guy before they jump in...

[@Southpaw4warrior]

Well, that's a good insight. Every martial art have it's strong points and flaws depending on what they focus on. Were the traditional is one of the reasons. So like I've stated before, fighting is about fighting him in a "zone" you control better than your opponent. But what piss me off, is that many karatekas don't seem to realize that... :)

[@bloodriotiori]

That's the thing. In a tournament with set rules and a set style, they have to go by that, but you can't assume that they don't do other things. Just because you can't grapple here doesn't mean they don't know how. If i was in a fight you'd see me primarily doing karate, though i also train GJJ :)

[@themaverik100]

totally understand, i have been researching kyokushin and i understand. thank you for the reply!

[@TheTardstrong]

This is one of the best base traditional systems going. These guys actually hit each other. It isn't perfect but it sure isn't fake like other traditional arts.

[@tinotrivino]

OK i hope I am the first: THOSE FIGHTS ARE AWESOME, even if for me KYOKUSHIN is very dirty is really effective. I have 2Dan in shito ryu and 1Dan in shotokhan

[@bahman1986]

Some of these kyu's are badass, especially the green belt guy!

[@TerrorBlade-zx7xk]

That first knockout that was a perfect question mark kick

[@Virgil077]

I have to get back into Karate. Really do miss it.

[@Crisperdad]

The fight around 3:00 surprised me. I thought he was going down but what a finish that was!

[@Shenruss]

I'd be interested in knowing the names, current ranks, schools, and years of training of some of the combatants. We saw a range of styles, all based within KSK, ranging from direct line attacks to deceptive kicks to simply outlasting the opponent. Also, Sensei says you can never choose the strength of your foe, so its good to see diverse fighters in the same art pitted against each other; was the draw for the matches random, or based on elimination?

[@Southpaw4warrior]

Exactly, my whole point. Sadly, you're the first (and only) karateka I've discuss with that seem to finaly realize that. However, mma in a way has it own flaws. Take a look at me for example, I'm well rounded. But I don't really have a "zone" where I'm truly good at. So my gameplan is not to fight him where I'm good, but where he sucks. So I mean, I would never try to fight a karateka straight up, but take it to the ground. But I can admit, if I fail in my attempts, I would probably lose hard.

[@Arminestos]

I have achieved Junior Black Belt in Taekwondoe and you're right. Now Muay Thai... that's some fun pain conditioning.

[@AzriAzhari]

lol thats true xD im a tkd fighter and i have 10 years of experience. my friend and i train together using the karate style of training after tkd training. he was much better than me. i wanted him to teach me how to defend my self against people like him. he said "i must beat you up until you can eat me up." thats the karate way. so yeah, the karate training style is more to fitness and i love it xD. but remember that tkd is a sport, not a street fighting martial art =)

[@airportdojonepalmanishkark6975]

Well they are prepared for the fight and its a fighter life ...its not too easy to play kykushion 🔥💙

[@fatalseizures]

Great video

[@SB-gq6mk]

in some tournaments they do, they work it like a triathlon, especially in Shidokan which is an offshoot of kyokushin and incorporates grabs clinches and takedowns, they do 2 rounds of knockdown karate, 2 rounds of muay thai and then 2 rounds of MMA.

[@iFupTrolls]

Why people are trashing this vid? Obviously this is a tournament which means they have rules, it is not a real fight. To those who are saying the KOs are weak, keep in mind they are not wearing any kind of protection, a hard kick or punch to the liver will make your legs buckle and on the face even a 50% kick can take you out. For those who praise MMA like UFC and so forth, that is also not a real fight. It might seem similar but a real fight you can end it in 1 second with a hard kick to the groin, you're not allowed to do that in MMA sports.

[@jocelynesguerra759]

omg 7.29 kick infront ohh thats an ......alleluia!youre amazing!

[@MomoyMondonedo]

Depends on the player, I'm shotokan and I respect kyokushin. It all depends on the minds of the player and application..

[@omeraklis]

What's the name and where could I find instructions for the kick in 3:46 ?

[@californyaeh]

Pausing @ 3:21, it feels like it's been 5/6 minutes already ..but these guys are so hilarious ..hitting each others in the gut like kids in the schoolyard..can't stop laughing !!! Some good high flying scissor kicks though !! kyokushin is so funny ...

[@Zachary_Cordova]

It is until you realize the power behind their punches

[@Shenruss]

As a two-year practitioner of this art, but a life long martial student i agree with you. To all the critics, i will say this: Do not misconstrue functionality for flippancy. KSK wasn't made to be pretty; it was made to be brutally affective; a power style that is devastating in its simplicity and looks far more like brawling than other more dynamic arts. Shihan Oyama refined this art by fighting bulls & facing 100 opponents for kumite. Against odds like that, there is no time to be "pretty"

[@fanacyprian3936]

kyokushinkaikan spirits lives in me like the curses of our grandfather's!!

[@SB-gq6mk]

from my understanding that's why we do it yes, and probably to preserve some of the traditional elements too. head kicks and knees are allowed however although as of yet i havent found a way to condition my face from these which has led to some pretty nice scars. in many shidokan tournaments however fighters compete in kickboxing and mma rules as well as the knockdown karate rules which i think is good as it incorporates other important elements of training not just body conditioning

[@beefonweckeastside3323]

I did this martial art back when I was much younger and the body punches can be condition for its the liver shots that get you and kicks come from nowhere. After a brown belt caught me with a shin to the face and broke my nose I thought learning the piano was not such a bad idea after all

[@jadekayak01]

very nicely put.

[@CarsSupercars]

Nice fights ☯️

[@topimbiklo4997]

00:51 lol that guy with the moustache. Thats the funniest konckout. Looks like he got hit first and then jumped later
