Valeri beendete schon Karriere aber Zum Schluss konnte er Als Maestro selbst gezeigt.Salahat ist auch Maestro Kyokushin Warum hat er Letzte Zeit nicht gekämpft können ,Weil er sein so nähern Freund verloren hat.Viele Menschen haben keine Informieren darüber.in meinem Heimatland gibt es stärke und gedulde Kämpfere aber Sttatliche Unterstutzung gibt es dafür nicht.Ich glaube Alles gut zu sein aber ich meine nach dem Töd.

I used to compete in Kyokushin. It made me strong and I was able to capture a Shidokan world title because of it. Now that I'm older, I can see it's not a good style. No movement, fighters only go forward. I remember when Europeans used to move more. I came here to see, but the style here is very Japanese now. Why take damage for no reason? Stick and move. Make your opponent miss and extend. Drain them physically and psychologically with much less effort. This sport needs to evolve or it's going to disappear.

I agree with you , I'm a kyokushin Fighter too and this style is dying out , only in Ukraine and russia and japan so they still train this style , the whole world is more so focussed on wkf point fighting wich I don't like at at and my kyokushin school keeps traning that point fighting style cause too many youngsters are doing Karate and no adults, all this has made me stopped training, so all the motivation is ded and made me hate it even more, maybe if i was Living in japan I'd be happy😢

[@ADAM_COLLECTS]

the three judges who scored it a tie are wrong. The fighter from the White (shiro) had a “chewy”, red did not. In a fight that is otherwise considered even, it wasn’t, red was winning, that 1 chewy determines it a win for the opposing side. EDIT 2/6/23: No, I was wrong, 1 "chewy" is not enough to be considered a loss if the fight is considered even under Shinkyokushin WKO competition rules.

[@AnthonyTopper]

What is a "chewy"?

[@modestassvoba]

@@AnthonyTopper thats a warning for illegal move, this case is grabbing, your get several chewy and your opponent gets a point.

First time I see fighting without head punches allowed. I'm sure these guys gets the last laugh when they get old and have no brain injuries, but man this looks more like hugging than it does fighting🤷‍♂

[@stefan7848]

They dont use gloves, so the punches are stronger, imagine mma without gloves

[@AkalnTamgut]

Try eating those knuckles and knees and shins on your bare body and lets find out how much you can take ;)!!

[@K4113B4113]

@@AkalnTamgut Im not gonna argue that they can't throw hard strikes. Just saying without head strikes it doesnt look like fighting anymore to me. They look way too comfortable getting their heads close to the opponent and completely open too. Just makes it look like a totally different thing, to me atleast.

It did get a little better towards the end, but yes, both fighters seemed too conservative earlier in the fight.

The 5 pounds force leg kicks. lol. like if you are going to leg kick, then kick the tar out of the guy so he actually needs to leg check correctly. The reason NEITHER of these guys is in the UFC or ONE is they'd get LAUGHED at. If I kick you in the leg, you'll know it. If I kicked you there twice, I guarantee you'll learn to leg check the third kick, or you'll hit the deck most likely.

[@WadeSmith-oe5xd]

In order to have the speed and power to punch and kick correctly, you need to do around 300 pushups per day and around 200 to 300 jump squats per day, AND you need to torque your body into the punch or kick correctly. These guys are throwing "arm punches" like a poorly trained GIRL and their kicks are even worse. I used to train like that EVERY DAY in addition to 1 hour cardio kickboxing and 2 hours traditional karate and jiujitsu EVERY DAY. It's why I can still beat people half my age in a real no-rules fight at 43 years old. Pushups should start with your sternum 1 inch off the ground (resting on the ground is not allowed) and you should go all the way up until both elbows lock out, then all the way back down to 1 inch above ground. Do two sets of 50 per day and 10 sets of 20 per day. It takes that much in addition to heavy bag work to have a punch as strong as a real pro boxer or real professional karate fighter. Jump squats should go all the way down then all the way up as you jump as high as you can off the ground every rep, and you should do 200 to 300 of those per day to have a professional strength snap kick and push/thrust kick.
