Hello, I know style vs style type sparring can induce intense discussions about which is better and so on, but I just want to remind some people in the comments that sparring is not a fight or competition 😂 It’s not about winning or hurting each other - it’s about working on techniques and strategies against someone who is trying the same against you - and there is nothing to gain from slamming leg kicks or head kicks at full force, especially against someone not used to kicks. We work getting hit and general conditioning outside of sparring. Same thing with punches to the head, you know you’re hit without needing to induce CTE. Point is, let’s just have a technical discussion and less about how much damage and fatality could be done this way or that way. 😅 Osu 🙏🥋

That spinning hook kick was amazing! 🤩 Graceful and perfect control, distance and timing! 👌 The boxer had some nice "closing the distance" moves and also beautiful change of tempo on some of the combos with one slow light punch and the next cross really quick and hard. 👍

I disagree. The boxer was pulling his punches as well. It sounded heavy because of the weight difference. My critique of the boxer is that he didn't respect the leg kicks. If that were full blast you wouldn't want that keep hitting you. He should have adopted in some way to avoid that in this sparring.

Maybe you're right but the boxer looked more confident and was always walking forward and his parries were absolutely technical while the karate guy was walking backwards and his parries were too basic.
@Yuzennnn6 ай бұрын
@@antoniostrina82the boxer is much physically bigger and since the karate guy isn’t allowed to kick hard it would be strange if the boxer didn’t move forward. But if you notice, the boxer didn’t actually get in a single punch to the head , whereas the karate guy did… and 2 clean head kicks and many low kicks which may all have been fight ending if they were thrown hard. Boxer basically just hit body punches and full contact karate guys like Kyokushin and Shidokan eat body punches for breakfast especially with gloves . Like zero effect
@antoniostrina826 ай бұрын
@@Yuzennnn You're right, I didn't thought about that, I say sorry. Keeping in account that, I think that boxing is overestimate. Nowadays there's this trend of thinking that boxing, MMA and Muay Thai are better than any other martial art, but they don't remember fights like Peter Smit vs Changpuek Kiatsongrit, where Smit won against Kiatsongrit.

ball of the foot and edge of the foot kicks can easy hurt you 4x as much as a kick with the top of the foot. Those little flicks to the knee, seen here, will drop you if they land with the ball of the foot. This takes training of the toes, ankle ,foot and hip, but when you master these kicks, no untrained man will be able to touch you under the conditions seen here.

Sensei, usually in Kyokushin organizations, how much is the Grading fee?
@SaikouKarate5 ай бұрын
For kyu-grades it’s usually completely up to the dojo owner, I would say anywhere between 20-50 euro is a normal rate. Dan gradings are paid directly to the association and will cost a couple of hundred (300-500 might be a normal rate depending on the organisation and rank).🥋
