Rocha so smooth with the slo mo demonstrations. He aint wobbling or jittering or nothing. Perfect balance and smooth motion. Its beautiful. Even wonderboy aint that smooth. Granted he is talking at the same time.

[@craigcanaan]

I would like to see a rematch of Stephen vs Raymond Daniels in KC

[@hitoshi9179]

I'm from taekwondo and this is one of the most dangerous if not the most, I usually do a jump spinning back kick to kick and be go away of the range

[@isaacyeon6334]

Not only is it dangerous, but it’s a thing of beauty (just look at Donnie Yen’s back kick as an example)

[@youtubeconnollyfamily]

I just started watching karate Kombat and it is awesome. It’s also fun to see someone like Michael Vick do good in there. Poor guy gave it his best shot in the UFC. So it’s good to know that good martial artist still have another sport to compete in and make money and be good at it.

[@kejackson]

James Vick?

[@juniorvaughan5861]

Love that kick

[@SayGahTaah]

Nice

[@EpiphanyMindChange]

One of the most popular moves in traditional kumite of kyokushin. Time to get all the honeys 😎 boss sh...

[@vids595]

*Turing side kick. It is much more powerful when starting knee upwards while chambered.

[@DennisHala-bg4mt]

How do i rotate my feet when i rotate my body

[@deemc7756]

😮

[@Gauntlets]

I've been practicing dis method here (/watch?v=HJzmywNVAi8) a lot and have even been tryna mod it 4 speed. Pretty much, it's meant 2 b a less telegraphed version of da spinning back kick, or even a spinning hook kick. But... it's more or less meant 4 mid-range; can't b too close!

[@tapasdutta2989]

Osu

[@madseriksen7340]

Am i the only ONE seeing a rat or something crawling on the green screen to the right at 0.43min?

[@complexblackness]

Nope, I see it also. Matter of fact there's two. One pops up and looks to stand on its hind legs. Then drops down and the other crawls across. Real life Splinters.

[@dariusjavidan5609]

They are watching and learning!

[@complexblackness]

@darius javidan and Waiting!

[@Mushielabs]

Where are the turtles?

[@18Hands]

LOL I think that is a persons head. Someone walking in the background. AHA

[@HarryTzianakisTheGodOfSpeed]

Just so everybody knows because not even wonder boy is going to tell you. Karate was invented on the island. Crete by the Minoans. Pankration Is the first MMA of the planet

[@complexblackness]

No it wasn't. It comes from Okinawa, with some elements of Kung Fu which as we know, comes from China.

[@HarryTzianakisTheGodOfSpeed]

@@complexblackness that's what you would like to believe the fact is my words

[@oczhaal]

@@HarryTzianakisTheGodOfSpeed stop saying your BS. Karate is from Okinawa. Study history.

[@neotenylv09]

Pankration and Karate are two different arts, there's no relation between the two.

[@alanc457]

Bow and arrows were also invented in Greece and spread around the world by Alexander the Great right? Or maybe people in different places just figured out what works by themselves and if it looks the same, then it must be effective

[@Jzak25]

I thought rule #1 in fighting is NEVER turn your back on the enemy
