Can you react to the movie Kickboxer: Vengeance?

[@cashscience]

To answer your question in the video - I find this more realistic than Baki, because they did their homework on this show regarding specific martial arts (particularly grappling arts), and you can tell in a lot of the transitions from one hold to another.

[@ReivasMC]

it's true that kengan is unrealistic at many points. But given many of your comments, I can say for sure you're no fighting expert or even decent at it... You might know a lot about "karate" after it's been watered down tho, not denying that, but by no means you know or understand violence. I know I'm just some random guy on the internet and what I say bears no consequence for you, just making it clear that you're not tricking anybody who has the least understanding of real martial arts... Guys like you are to blame for the fall of traditional martial arts sadly.

[@cashscience]

@@ReivasMC Okay.... I'm 42 yrs old and I'll give you a rundown of my martial arts background (you do the math). (1) Started with Taekwondo and Hapkido @ age 13 under John Pellegrini. (2) from 19 yrs old trained in MCMAP during my time in the military. (3) After my discharge I trained in Krav Maga, then Haganah, and Survival Hisardut while in South FL. (4) Moved to Chicago and trained in Muay Thai, and BJJ (under Team Madiz competing @ NAGA and US Grappling), since 2013. Now - Would you like to ask me about any additional info - or would you rather keep using your "supernatural mental prowess" to tell you all you need to know about people you know nothing about?

[@ReivasMC]

@@cashscience I don't give the slightest fuck about your curriculum lol. There's a reason why I didn't give mine, cause I'm a random on the internet, I could come up with all kinds of bs as you just did My point was made for him to see that real martial artists see through his bullcrap. I don't need supernatural powers to tell when someone's full of shit. as for you, I wasn't talking to you fanboy.

[@fed_zed_3738]

Kengan is quite realistic, but the manga explains everything a lot better. I would highly recommend reading it, and you could even go over some of the technique explanations they go over in the manga. Similar to what you said about baki, I've read both and kengan is by far my favorite

[@Thixico]

the writers and artists would try some of these moves in real life and all of them have had martial arts experience

[@qianse22]

Yeah the manga is so much better than the anime tbh

[@kughdommed4582]

Baki is great but the Kengan manga is just otherworldly

[@idrinkwater1124]

@@kughdommed4582 agreed

[@Sasskitten]

hey anyone watch the Kengan vs Baki yet?

[@fed_zed_3738]

I would recommend reading the kengan manga, it's really good from a martial arts perspective honestly. Also akoya seishu uses taiho jutsu since he's a police chief. I would recommend doing more kengan breakdowns, or just reading or watching it for your own personal enjoyment.

[@tasogare6598]

You can also look at Kuroki vs Lihito fight. Kuroki uses pure karate techniques

[@artten5002]

Completely agree! He needs to check the fight!

[@kaizenproductions00]

I definitely recommend the manga. The art is great and it explains the fights better.

[@YoukaiSlayer12]

I’m actually surprised that you focused on this match considering how there were other factors in play in regards to the story that’s influencing that match. Plus it’s the 2nd to last match for the anime, but the start of the 2nd round of the tournament in the anime. To be honest the better matches for fighting style analysis would be Kanoh Agito vs Okubo Naoya, because of the mma style & how fighter adaptability played a part in it. The 2nd in regards to karate would have be Kuroki Gensai vs Lihito. Especially in regards to Gensai’s use of techniques such as the nukite. For contrasting styles, there’s Sekibayashi Jun vs Kiozan Takeru & Mokichi Robinson vs Kure Raian.

[@devBadgerJ]

agreed on all these great points. This match was definitly a BJJ breakdown-y thing. Since a big deal about Seishu is that he had his weird murder cop style. Still always good to see more of Kengan.

[@silverousleonidas5790]

Interesting note. The one fighting Cosmo is meant to be police officer from Japan in both the manga and anime.

[@benjaminpujols1914]

I'm not surprised about that arm bar because the way he was standing it didn't look like a boxing stance it look more like MMA typos stands they hold their hands up similar to a boxer but they bounced around like that boxers don't bounce that way they they come right at you cuz he was doing a lot of ticking like a kickboxer so suddenly he does some MMA thing after his arm is already fractured the way that big guy was punching and that's crazy scary

[@STROBdotNET]

Hi, I really like your kata videos! Using 2 cameras helps a lot! Arigatou gozaimasu! Do you thing you could do Bassai Dai soon! I have to practice that one now. thanks!

[@lilpizza]

I would like full Bassai Dai tutorial as well

[@jpopaldana]

The most realistic martial arts anime I've ever seen is "Virtua Fighter".

[@cashscience]

You can't be serious....

[@sophisticatedluna6503]

Bruh

[@Shadowrulzalways]

The martial art Akoya used was Taiho Jutsu. Which combines, Aikido, Goju-Ryu Karate, Kenjutsu, Kendo, Jujutsu and Judo. Most cops today use Judo as a base for their Taiho Jutsu.

[@isaac2990]

Kengan Ashura is a Japanese anime, they just heavily used CGI to limit costs I think. Also I highly recommend reading the manga, they go into much deeper explanations about each fight. And the anime does cut out a lot of information. I would suggest watching either Kuroki vs Lhito (Rhito, depending on which translation you read) or Mokichi Robinson vs Raian Kure next

[@sneakerjuice1856]

Its not hard to understand why they used CGI. The costs of fights like this in 2D would get the series cancelled by Netflix after 1 season, because anime doesnt get the viewer rates normal shows does. The fights are really good regardless of the use of CGI, tbh I barely noticed.

[@DylanC333]

for more Kengan Ashura, you should try Okubo Naoya vs Kanoh Agito

[@سيدسيد-ص3م4ب]

Cool work sir thank you very much 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@jerommelewis]

That dude is doing Muay Thai kick boxing with a flair of mix martial art

[@BoredBookAddict]

You should check out the rest of the series. I recommend kuroki vs rihito. Okubo vs kanoh, mokichi vs raian, ohma vs raian and sekibayashi vs kiozan.

[@Sasskitten]

Hmmm from Kengan Ashura can you do Akoya vs Haru? and Bando vs Hanafusa (Also the after part of it.) and the two fights that Setsuna Kiryu. I actually do want to know if those styles really exist or if they are actually named differently from the anime or are apart of a whole other style. Oh and maybe kaolan vs Kaneda? I think the series is done now so maybe there will be ones you are curious as to how they won their matches (Or if they would have lost if it was real life)

[@jamesdesjardins3192]

Kenichi the mightiest disciple

[@TheMtVernonKid]

Love Baki it's one of my favorites

[@jandrashriker5861]

The creator Yabako Sandrovich is a trained in some form of fighting style himself. And they physically choreograph the fights and then take pictures of it and draw it for manga. Just a random trivia.

[@KingCJThomas]

Karate vs Jiujitsu, very interesting battle, been debated for hellas, im a Jiujitsu guy and I loved it, I was on the side of Jiujitsu ofc so glad we won this one😁

[@PingwinB]

Great Anime I love Kengan Ashura so fu..ing much.

[@LindensTree]

Maybe check out a fight with Wakatsuki as he's a karate practitioner

[@TimCheong]

Holyland is the most realistic martial art manga IMO. It is really grounded.

[@lilpizza]

Love your content!!! Could you do a reaction on Shobukan Karate. Would like to hear your thoughts on it. I really enjoy your reactions and opinions. Keep up the great work👊💪

[@anthonyholder6533]

Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple and ippo I would say are realistic

[@BDH0RTON]

Great video! I love Kengan Ashura, I hope you do more reaction/breakdown videos from this series. I highly recommend the Rihito vs Kuroki fight or the Rian vs Tokita fight, those are two of the best!

[@cool_sword2037]

Your face looked so shocked when you saw blood xd

[@MrTheil]

Akoya is actually a Taihojutsu user. Also you should react to Rihito vs Kuroki Gensai since Kuroki actually uses Karate

[@baldaction3510]

The best manga about martial art: Karate Shoukoushi Kohinata Minoru

[@hypnoticskull6342]

Bro, this comment made me read it. Just read the last chapter today. All I can say is thank you. One of the best manga I've ever read

[@qianse22]

There’s a karate dude named Wakatsuki who has this thing called Superman syndrome so his muscles are extremely dense so he uses that super strength plus karate to fight.

[@camiloiribarren1450]

Yusuke, try an old school anime, Virtua Fighter: Akira Yuki vs Wolf Hawkfield. Akira uses Hakkyoku ken while Wolf is a freestyle wrestler. Look it up on KZbin and tell us what you think

[@AndresD.deLeon]

Kengan Ashura is the most accurate in my experience and opinion, as it does explain all the Arts and techniques

[@tristianjohnson3851]

I would love to see what you think of Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple.

[@hypnoticskull6342]

Realistic and Baki should never be in the same sentence

[@BugabooStrangeJourney]

Baki is hella entertaining because its so unrealistic though

[@hypnoticskull6342]

@@BugabooStrangeJourney Tell that to the people who are complaining about the Kengan Baki crossover. They're trying to say it's unrealistic

​@@hypnoticskull6342 I just thought it was horribly animated and boring. :P

[@Petrol_Sniffa]

I do MMA in real life and I have to say for the MMA parts it's very realistic for an anime, don't know too much about Karate though.

[@LordFali]

The most realistic martial art story that i know is the manga All rounder Meguru! it's about mma.

[@gabrielkamenrider1205]

See all of Kengan Ashura fights

Have a look at the Car Park fight.

Kengan, Baki all r superhuman stuff

[@brauliochavez2231]

i recomend you watch any of kuroki gensai fights in this anime, they are great and you will probably enjoy them :)

[@TheJarric]

next fight surely demonstrates street fight effiensy

[@fernandosulantay]

I would say one of the most realistic anime is shootfighter Tekken though, and in mangas holyland, you should make a reaction ^^

[@aresgodofwar1390]

Akoya fighting style It's Taihojutsu

[@nathanmerritt1581]

The karate guy looks like kazuya mishima from the Tekken series.

[@Charlie.G506]

Akoya looks like a fusion between kazuya and roblox.

[@xavierprince9921]

You should react to Loyota machidas kata

[@vexxama]

We need a Kuroki react

[@bdconan]

All rounder meguru is a good realistic manga

[@Yiakos1]

Baki and Kengan both start out as an exaggeration of real martial arts then progressively gets more into fantasy. Hajime No Ippo is probably the most accurate boxing anime I've seen.

[@IdiotinGlans]

I'm lowkey mad that Kengan anime didn't have good fights with in-universe karatekas, Wakatsuki Takeshi (full contact karate) and Kuroki Gensai (traditional karate). They'd be perfect for you to react to, but they skipped Wakatsuki's first fight and Kuroki's fight with Rihito is his least impressive one (tho I'd still love to see you react to it).

[@phillybul30]

Hello yusuke-san. I wanted to ask do you truly believe one can learn karate using KZbin videos?

[@sonbaz]

I know he has not replied and anyone can feel free to disagree with me but the answer is definitely NO!. KZbin videos are a great aid to help you practice alone what you have learned under a instructor. If you don't go to a class and learn properly, you will develop bad habits in body posture and positioning. Never mind the experience lost between training with people of different shapes and sizes and strengths. There are probably lots more examples like a class will push you harder then left on your own but hope you see my point. Join a class :)

[@louieh.1394]

How about reviewing Street fighter assassin's fist?

[@icarovillasboas9890]

Hi! I have breath problems with Karate. Can you talk about that?

[@chrizzzz827]

you should definetly take a look at the manga to this anime if you like baki because its very similar to it but much more realistic

[@philliparnesen4493]

Hajime no ippo is the most realistic martial arts anime I have seen.

[@emiliosolis8648]

in the fight there is a lot of bjj moves mma and wrestling moves its realistic but just have more than karate moves so it was hard to explain from someone that only does karate

[@ИльяУшаков-о7о]

Imai didn't kick the knee, he almost stomped his thigh to stop Akoya. Also Imai could do the thing in the end because of the painkillers after his first fight with Adam and adrenaline spike before Akoya could finish him off. Most "realistic" martial arts anime would be Hajime no Ippo and Ashita no Joe, Baki has too much of a bizzare logic behind it. Yeah it seems realistic to the extent but sometimes you could only say "Whaaa?!". Kengan Asura is more or less between Hajime no Ippo and Baki in believability. But I guess most of the Baki's universe BS moments not animated yet.

[@jameskatu6339]

If you can do a react to History’s Mightiest Disciple

[@ext1ncc898]

Hajime no Ippo is probably the most realistic martial art anime. I feel like Kengan Ashura is made by someone who likes watching fights, and Ippo is made by someone who fights.

even in the anime, kengan ashura is not for everyone, baki is not the same as kengan, this is heavier. I end up quite dizzy and tender in the stomach when I arrived to this fight

[@aether9525]

Cosmo primarily fought under MMA rules, so he wasn't kicking the knee, when he was stopping Akoya's momentum early in the fight. He was kicking, or stomping on the upper thigh muscles, since kicking the knee is illegal in MMA, as far as I know. it's not like he wouldn't have been allowed that move in the anime, during the fight, considering the ruleset. He just simply did it the way he was used to by reflex

[@nathantheophilus4856]

Its not illegal, its never been illegal, stop spreading misinformation. Kicking the knee, upper thigh muscles, even calves, stomping the knees, all legal. Its just not as lethal a move as the movies bring it out to be. Only very few cases where they actually can end fights. Jon Jones uses it a lot. Robert Whittaker tore Darren Till's MCL with it but couldnt finish darren. Darren did a similar thing to Wonderboy. Khalil Rountree won a TKO with it .

this anime isnt to inaccurate its just that this fight was not a martial arts based one ill recommend the fight with the fang of metsudo that one was great
