Bas is still ferocious. Even in training he seems ready to take someone out.

I’ve been kickboxing for a long time and I’ve never heard of a roundhouse knee

[@whoknows8223]

At least now you know 😂... never heard of it too

[@DAGONET.]

ROUNDHOUSE KNEE ALWAYS EXISTED, IT JUST THAT WE DON'T GET ENOUGH INFORMATION IN TIME, BUT IT'S OK 👌, NO SHAME ABOUT IT 😉 👉🏼

@@kickboxer69420 OF COURSE, I LOVE IT, AND ABOUT THE THIGH KICKS 🤔🤔🤔 MAYBE YOUR RIGHT, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT CONSEQUENCES WOULD BRING IN "KC" TO THE FIGHTER WHO USE IT, "WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT IT", BUT NICE SUGGESTION BRO, GOOD EYE👁 😉👉🏼

Thank you for this free Bas Class

Cool Karate Gi. Futuristic Mandalorian Karate style or something. On the planet Mandalore we wear this Karate gi when practicing Mandalorian Karate because This Is The Way.

Nicely done Bas

[@josephmalone253]

The karate I was taught did knees different. Goal is to lean forawrd not back but that is hard. And also scoot or slide forward as you do it. Leaning back or standing taller makes it look more like kickboxing. You want to move forward as you attack to use your body weight and then finish with face punches or chase him with punches if he backs up. If he just stands there and takes it he is hurt and punches or maybe elbows. Hiza geri to abs or sternum mawashi hiza geri to ribs or organs.

[@mactysonkarate]

Depends on the style of Karate in my Dojo I learned these styles of knees

[@josephmalone253]

@@mactysonkarate is it a style difference or practioner to practioner variation? I did a weird style of karate where basically anything natural was "wrong". There were millions of little details and hidden things. The takeaway for me was there is generic kickboxing that relies on brute force and if that fails there is some type of body mechanic that is unnatural and harder to learn but increases power once you do. I did shito ryu. Not sure what the emphasis was. I just did as told and did not ask questions. Some say the emphasis is speed. I guess it would depend on the style of shito ryu. Hayashi style shito ryu might be the speedy style of shito ryu, more so than mine. Bas seems to have a planted stance as he uses front knee to body. My sensei would slide in as he knee'd me and use that to set up face punches. He would lower body weight as if a crouch as it landed sort of like body weight punching, if that makes sense. It hurt because it felt like a penetrating attack instead of just impact. Like poking kidney deeply with knee. One time I was visiting at a full contact club and practicing with a girl member there. She did a knee to body in a slow and static way. I just let her do it. It was a paired practice like self defense application from kata. You hold shoulders and knee stomach and then run away. She did it and I didn't feel anything. So she pressed deeper and deeper. I felt it a little and then a lot and then it felt very bad. This was all slow and static. She thought I was weird and wondered why I didn't stop her like the normal practice others would not let her hurt them. I trusted her and wanted to see how strong it could hurt. Point is she was weak so needed to overcome that by penetrating deeper with her strike. I think speed is for girls and power for men. This might be gender/build/ability specific even in the same dojo... or not.

[@betelspitter]

His front knees are very muay thai

[@SpodyOdy]

Why no knee to thigh rule?

[@AVWAP]

Wondering the same. It would be affective

[@honigdachs.]

Same reason why they don't allow kicks to the thigh. They want it to not look too similar to the known kickboxing formats. Fighters not being able to gameplan around killing that thigh muscle increases the distance a bit and slows down the action less, so it's a bit of a different fight dynamic to watch compared to Glory for example.

[@whoknows8223]

Because thaiboxers would dominate the tournaments I think. The wide bladed stance in karate is very open for lowkicks

[@SpodyOdy]

@@whoknows8223 I get what your saying but Wonderboy, Machidas, MVP, etc seem to be able to do just fine while still fighting their style in MMA why can't the KC athletes do the same.

[@whoknows8223]

@@SpodyOdy Well like I said I don't think they want that smoke (competition). They don't have their legs conditioned like those Thais and would get get their legs chopped. Not everyone but a lot of them. Same applies to the non clinching.

[@Gauntlets]

I should wonder tho... When r y'all gonna start allowing kicks 2 da thigh? Many obvious reasons y they should b allowed; even moreso now dat ur allowing knees!

[@edwardsutherland3317]

I second the motion. Lets petition Combat Karate for this matter. I have written them asking for this change of rules, but many more people have to demand this.
