Hajime Kazumi demonstrates the power of gedan mawashi geri

[@hongvankhangtruong9629]

This clip proved that you don't need to kick high to knock somebody out. You still can weaken your rival by kicking his legs over and over again, make him slow down and make his attack less useful (weaker and no balance), and then easily knock him out. Thanks for the clip.

[@blazeforever]

just like muay thai low kick...

[@psychedashell]

blazeforever Exactly like Muay Thai low kick. Kyokushin Karate is like a mongrel dog, bitsa this and bitsof that, we have no pedigree to be concerned about when we see effective moves. We love our stolen kick. Oyama saw Thai practitioners doing it, loved it and took it. Traditional Karate roundhouse kicks are done with the top or ball of the foot, makes for good surgical strikes to the head and body but the fact that the foot is a bag of tiny bones means strikes have to be surgical, using the shin as the weapon the way Muay Thai practitioners do allows so much more potential for breaking things that get in the way of bashing the head and body, annoying things like defending arms and legs.

[@caloy1206]

Hồng Vân Khang Trương My Sensei thought me on this, chopping it like a tree. So tall guy can be imagine as a tree and his mawashi geri is like an axe strike. TIMBER !!!!

[@cd9aevo]

Youre so right !

[@GokuInfintysaiyan]

+psychedashell and our Kyokushin roundhouse travels knee first then kick, it is best used at a close maii and is more accurate but slower. Muay Thai is faster and will hit harder, but are less accurate and don't hit with a very small area of the body so the damage is more spread out.

I`ve also lived in Japan for 8 years and Kyokushin is well respected as a tough fighting art. In fact, many MMA fighters have good things to say about their Kyokushin background (GSP, Bas Rutten, Semmy Schilt, Andy Hug etc). It`s not a complete fighting style and never was developed to be such.

[@GokuInfintysaiyan]

Actually it was way back when It had grappling (Okinawan wrestling from Goju-Ryu, kodokan judo, and some jujutsu from shotokan) and face punches/elbows/etc were allowed. The rules changed over time So it was complete at one point, and a few schools still teach it the way it was meant to be taught

[@niennordeild4389]

The sound those blows put out is something to cringe about. Poor folks who think this is bullshit don't realize it's meant to refine the practitioners and the art. As old Kami-sama said and my master always says again, 'everyone can punch. Now you must train your body'. Talk about training!! This brick wall of a fellow took well in the excess of 20 blows to the same spot before buckling. The other fighter landed that many blows right in the same exact spot, technical, precise and very heavy (you can hear it some times). How many of those do you think you could take? Or perhaps you think you can dodge? From what I can tell, a single hit like that would completely take away the fighting spirit of mostly anyone, from the pain alone. Just my take...

[@forzacavaliere]

Hi can someone experienced in Kyokushin answer my question please? Why is it that in this style they allow themselves to get hit so many times. It does alright in the tournaments because there's no punches to the head, but is there head protection involved in this style or they just allow themselves to tank hits in a real self defense situation?

[@AngryBenny]

its like this, there is no head protection, the reason they can endure so many blows is because we train to endure those blows, simple as that... regarding the real self defense situation the fighting style you see here is very different that it would be on the streets, its important to keep your distance and when you do make a move, you end it with one, because there is no fooling around in the streets. i hope i clarified you

[@forzacavaliere]

Firelement3 Thanks for the reply. I understand it a lot more now.

[@AngryBenny]

you are welcome man

[@GokuInfintysaiyan]

It’s not just “tanking” You can train that to a high extent but the top dogs always learn high levels of Ukeru Ukeru is to receive and it’s learning to subtly shift your body (weight, muscle, posture, height, etc) in order to be able to minimize damage without giving up a limb to block or stepping off balance. Kyokushin is more about cutting angles rather than “advanced” footwork (back peddling, diamond stepping, etc)

[@dwightmichaelperalta8045]

That kick!!!!!!!!!

[@feeencing]

@MrBlondeVega Thanks all the same! Osu!

[@baldieman64]

Of course it needs teaching. The biggest weapon anyone has as a martial artist is their mind. You train the mind to target the groin, eyes, throat and knees by continual repetition and those options will immediately present themselves when your conscious minds stops working due to a dump of adrenalin. Boxers get into streetfights where they can kick, wrestle and gouge. Do they? No, they box, because it's all they train for. Train everything, including the nasty stuff -but respect your partner.

[@Derniea]

Why you can use kick in the face but no punch in the face ?

[@merfikk]

Every style has its rules.

[@tonoydas830]

Loic Jeandel cause you dont wanna get hit by seasoned bare knuckles which could broke your jaw and open it .

[@psychedashell]

Loic Jeandel Japanese logic. Punches are so much faster it's easy to tear faces to bloody shreds with bare-knuckles. Kicks are slower and take more energy to use, so if you get kicked in the face you deserved it.

[@julianmusteata8369]

Loic Jeandel It takes little skill to deliver a face punch, but a head kick is very difficult to accomplish. This therefore shows good technique and good karate. I hope that answers your question...

[@caloy1206]

Loic Jeandel Just imagine their bare knuckles can break slab of ice , wooden block, cement block etc. Can you imagine hitting your face with those hard and bare hand. You want full contact, so simple, put head gear and gloves. If you still don't know why, just enrol in any refutable Karate martials arts, Shotokan, Kyukushin,, Enshin, Ashihara , Goju Ryu etc. for you to understand.

[@rsengenji]

gedan mawashi geri power...

[@mycal64]

.. wooden boards, ice-blocks and roof tiles etc. Getting up onto the mat to fight someone who is attempting to knock you out with any one of these techniques is a pretty scary prospect to put yourself in, believe me. Again, milling is only employed once by the Paras (P Company), but in Kyokushin you can expect to face it numerous times per week varying in intensity depending on gradings/competions etc. Anyone who believes a Kyokushin practioner can`t fight does so at their own peril.

[@baldieman64]

I can agree with some of that. What I see when I look at Kyokushin is basically "milling" with kicks. Nothing wrong with that, it builds mental and physical toughness and it's a very fine exercise. Trouble is that there are a lot of people who think that it's the same as fighting and it just isn't.

Типок вообще крут, почему я о нем никогда не слышал? оО

[@MrBlondeVega]

@maoridude04 You raise a good point my friend. I do believe also that kyokushin is about the best man in the long run/after the grind. I don't claim any authority on my opinion but I think most kumites w/out clear dominance of one of the competitors will go to an extension, especially if there's a big physical difference and/or is the final 32 competitors; if the smaller fighter keeps up all the extensions decisions tend to go for the little guy.

[@MUEEN007]

oh yeah and another thing, the single most common thing a punch - is thrown very differently when your not wearing gloves as well as general defense, kyokushin guys have strong wrists and knuckles, punching is dangerous bareknuckle because you can break your hand/wrist that's why karate has open hand attacks - yes and I'm a kyokushin karateka and a judoka in the UK.

[@24RECproductionsWildARTchannel]

It was logical. All tree so it breaks. Strikes in the same place.

[@baldieman64]

What i mean is that by training in MMA or just by cross training effectively you develop a complete fighting skill set. MMA (Which is fast becoming a martial art in it's own right) is actually quite limited for the street unless practitioners recognise that it's optimised for the ring and add back the gouging, ripping headbutting and other mayhem but it sure as hell teaches people to fight with heart I've seen a few of those KK vids. They'd be more credible if they didn't insist on KK rules.

[@psychedashell]

Gerard Gordeau did wonderful work in early MMA competition of proving that if you can’t win fair then breaking the rules probably isn’t going to help your situation. Four matches, two clean wins and two losses that he tried to gouge and bite his way out of that he still lost and not via disqualification, he tapped out both times because his biting and gouging failed to convince both opponents to let go of dominant positions.

[@niennordeild4389]

@@psychedashell You mean gouging your opponent's eye out?

[@psychedashell]

@@niennordeild4389 Yuki Nakai chose to continue fighting for the win over keeping his eye. He also chose to compete in two more matches that night rather than seeking medical attention that may have saved his vision in that eye, on top of that he covered it up for years to protect the sport. For all the damage it did for the rest of Yuki Nakai's life gouging simply didn't cause enough pain to prevent Yuki from thinking coherently or have any way to force him to let go. A truly successful pain compliance technique overrides coherent thoughts like choices leaving only fear and pain. A truly successful leverage technique offers threats through pain but at the end of the day those threats are due to the leverage being literally capable of breaking the user free by breaking joints. Truly successful chokes and strangles work by denying blood or oxygen and like true leverage the user will be able to break free regardless of the sufferer's choices in the matter - the sufferer will pass out and lose all holds or the attacked limb will cease to function and lose all holds. Gouging causes very real, very lasting damage but it is not a successful pain compliance technique, it is not a successful leverage technique and it is not a successful choke or strangle technique. People think moves that are banned from MMA must be banned because they are powerful but this simply isn't true, banned techniques cause lasting damage but often escalate fights rather than ending them or even truly shifting dominance, that guy you gouged but didn't manage to break free of doesn't just want your wallet anymore, he now wants your wallet and revenge for whatever your gouging efforts did.

[@Domzdream]

I like the style of Kyokoshin to a point. But the problem is, they teach you to be solid, rather than teach you evasion. A body can take only so many blows before it dies down. They just fuck each other up in the chest all the time. It becomes a question of endurance, not skill. It has no finesse, y'know?

[@kacperpopek681]

[@Domzdream]

Kacper Popek As a stand up fighting style, I absolutely think that dodging a blow that's coming for your face versus taking it like a tree, makes you a much better fighter. A person can only take so many blows before he gets cut down. Your body is finite. They don't even have blockings. You'd think that they'd be doing that at the very least!

[@Draconic]

they do block and dodge. They take blows that they could tolerate and avoid heavy blows. The same goes for Muay Thai.

[@Domzdream]

Draconic Ryuken I've never seen them punch to the face, even when in full contact competition. You want to know why? Because they're so used to DOOFING each other in the chest, they completely forget about their face, only punch towards the chest area. Whereas Goju Ryu does the WHOLE thing baby!

[@GokuInfintysaiyan]

Well actually that is just a Kazumi thing. Most use the forearm to direct the hit into an area where it wont hurt and take the majority of the force off, only letting you make contact so as to "pull you in" and close distance

[@baldieman64]

Wrestling and Ju-Jitsu are very much the support system. As one of my some time instructors (Geoff Thompson) put it "When you're rolling around on the floor getting the shit kicked out of you, it's a really bad time to start thinking about learning some grappling". You WILL get taken down outside, you want to break stuff and get back up. Obviously you want to put the guy away quick and be gone and you don't do that without training to punch him in the head - and of course the nasty stuff helps.

Reymond Matthieu Doesn't mean everybody is particularly good at it.

This guy chose to try and ignore them and chose wrong.

[@GokuInfintysaiyan]

+Reymond Matthieu most of the time you go forward and down to take it with your thigh so you can return a kick before they bring the leg back down osu

[@rastadoge3539]

you can shift your weight a bit on the front leg and absorb the kick without much damage, it is easier and less risky, because in Kyokushin there's no clinch so if your opponent sweeps you while you are trying to check a kick, you cannot hold him to stay on balance, also this is knockdown karate, so you get points for a sweep. SO its more prudent in these rules to just absorb a kick, not to mention also makes your opponent feel like a bitch when his well-placed leg kick does no damage whatsoever, because you've conditioned them far too much, there are still ways to damage a conditioned leg, for example at the very top of the thigh near the hip joint, directly beside the groin on either side, this region is weak and the muscles are thin its easy to damage, a well placed cut kick could easily make your opponent react slower to the next one, face guard down and you kick them in the head, if they try to actively check it, sweep the back leg.
