Until someone grabs you…

Hmmm, yes and no...ppl throw in combinations. Low kick then hook for example. These guys throw from a low guard. As soon as they have blocked and start countering...they will get hit due to the combination coming at them. Case in point: body shots around 55sec mark

Hahaha…as Mike Tyson once said …all plans go out the window when you get punched on the chin !!…

I did a few years Karate when I was young and I did love it very much. Lately my 11yo daughter wants to learn self defence and I’ve been researching on styles that are effective. Most styles it seems fall behind now that MMA is more popular and I’ve been watching fighters from various styles go at it in the ring. They all seem to dodge and evade attacks as does western boxing. Karate it seems even in Okinawa just stand there and get hit adopting the whatever doesn’t kill you philosophy. My question is why? Wouldn’t that hasten your defeat or am I missing something?

I disagree, using your shins to block a kick is very damaging and will course long therm effects.

OSS! Same, I’m 55 and have learned shito ryu and shotokan. Kyokshin is totally badass. Conditioning is amazing

First of all "Oss" constantly used in Kyokushin is a very bad word and should never be used within Karate. Secondly the reason that the combinations shown in the vid look so good is that in this style head punches are not allowed or practiced. A head punch would instantly nullify these counters.

@@78a67hwhy osu is a bad word?

Yeah, except for the fact that they don't punch to the face, making the style quite flawed when it comes to real fighting. And, the perfect example of this is when I owned an MMA school for 10 years and had 12 different systems available, each taught by experts in their styles. We actually had a few Kyokushin black belts with 10+ years experience fight some of my Muay Thai students who only trained for about 6 months (sanctioned fights) under Muay Thai rules. My Thai fighters DEMOLISHED the Kyokushin guys with ease! You fight how you train. Never prepping for punches to the face left the Kyokushin fighters extremely ill-prepared, even though they had at least 20 times more experience.

@@dariusemrani4091 Karate has its own etiquette and promotes, apart from fighting, development of good character and GOOD MANNERS. "Oss" is a very nasty arrogant term which is in fact casual Japanese street language and has absolutely no place in the Dojo. Anyone who makes the mistake of using it in a traditional Okinawan Dojo will cause offence and immediately be kicked out. The correct response to the Sensei, to signify one's understanding, is Hai Sensei, never "Oss".

if this is the best. than it speaks volumes.

@@Teddy-se8qb post a link of a video with better demonstration please. thank you

@@nozomu4561 there is none. karate sucks.

@@Teddy-se8qb i cant really tell. i dont practice karate at all, but judd reid looks like a fighting bull to me, so i really like that.

lol that says a lot

@busyrightnow7259 ok?

And … if done right comes in horizontal

Muay Thai found a solution for it, just checking the mid kicks the same way you check low kicks. If it's any higher (head), then evading it by leaning back or blocking with the forearm are decent options

step forward (to stuff the kick) while guarding with the hand on the same side as the kick (keep it tight & in line with your face), while pushing the kneecap away with the other hand. for extra power, turn toward the kick as you push, to knock the opponent away

Reach into your pocket, and throw a handful of sand in their eyes. J/k 😆 I've found there are two best options: Like above, just use the Muay Thai block. or Like Miyagi said: "Best defense is no be there."

Well since you are talking shotokan vs kyokushin. It would be the same block as any other mavashigiri chudan block. If the special technique fails to stop the kyokushin opponent which I'd say has about 5% chance of suceeding. Shotokan karateka is going for a ride xD with respect !OSU!

Thanks for your comment .Yes correct, interestingly a lot of people comment on hands at different times. We all know smart fighters know when to have their hands up and when they dont need to. Given this is a conditioning drill focussed on thigh kicks and conditioning the thighs the importance of hands up is not quite relevant in this particular case. A lot of smart fighters also realise their is a difference berween kicking range and punching range so they know where their hands can be. I guarantee if the drill was about head punching, hands would be up. Just a point to note the young guy on the left is also a state junior under 18’s boxing champion. Different drills, different skills.

@@juddreidchikarakyokushin6461 I do like some of the lower, thigh kicks. These would be easy to apply quickly in a street fight situation. Also easy given people are sometimes wearing trousers that don't always allow for more flexible kicking.

@@juddreidchikarakyokushin6461 but I would assume that the hands should always be protecting the head so it becomes a habit.

In tournaments face punches isnt allowed, As they dont wear gloves or shinpads in fights. in goju ryu what i’ve practised is full contact with gloves on thats all

As a Muay Thai fighter, everytime I throw a roundhouse, I keep that side of my head guarded. I’m so most if not all Thai boxers do the same. That’s why you should to the body. Also notice the karate roundhouse doesn’t get thrown after stepping the lead outside of the opponent thus the karate kick hits with less force. Throwing the 2 on the same side as the leg you just used to kick with is a great strike to learn. It’s easier to learn this if you learn how the Superman punch works.

Very good point ! And cheers for the advice , definitely going to play around with this technique ! 🙏

Yeah it’s refreshing to see really. That gym looks like it’s producing some legit killers.

Why don't you ask your mom

"not realistic" It will take you two hours to put on your boxing gloves. Please go to a kyokushin gym and challenge to spar somebody then post the video.

@@peybak I don’t do boxing. Never have.

You must be an "armchair" fighter.

How about you go to a dojo and let them strike you to make sure?

GO there and ask them to kick you. See how "ineffective" it is. Man, look at the the level of armchair experts in these comments...

@@peybak I didn't mention kicks at all. If you're checking a kick, you're not going to generate any power on a punch while 1 foot is in the air.

Yeah except then no punch to the face bs

Judd's Kyokushin dojo also trains to throw punches to head whenever they spar with gloves, not just barrknuckle training. There are those gloved sessions on that channel. If you allow those punches in bareknuckle kumite, you would have many unnecessary injuries such as broken knuckles and facial cuts. That's why fighting gloves were invented in thr first place. Source site:

I didn’t know they sparred with hand protection to throw punches to the face. Sparring bare knuckle is a bad idea. That would be similar to sparring with elbows allowed. Not to mention the fist can break easier, putting you out or training for a while. Why doesn’t Kyokushin open the hips and throw stronger roundhouse kick? Why are they standing so close and not moving in and out of range? It’s probably different in sparring.

Wing chin is useless outside of learning how to trap and block with the elbow. I hate most Chinese kung fu anyways. I think they come from Chinese theater.

Pls search a video "Why traditional martial arts punch to the chest" for context. It's hard to explain here.

Try getting into punching range of a Karate, Taekwondo, or Muay Thai practitioner. Every art has its flaws, kiddo.

@@Loopylocokiller you are not very smart. Cleary I'm pointing out that Kyokushin fighter's are kicking in the punching range, so hitting them with punches would actually be very easy. Not to mention they stand square and with no head movement. 😂

@@xoPRECISEox You’re clearly projecting about your own lack of intelligence since you’re liking your own comments. 🤡 I couldn’t imagine thinking punches have the same range as kicks and actually trying to convince anyone of anything 😂 You have a lot to learn, little one.

@@Loopylocokiller are you Jewish? What kind of Ukrainian nonsense response was that? My original reply was critiquing how Kyokushin guy's stand close right in front of eachother trading kicks and goofy punches to the body. Don't know why you're sperging about it?

@@xoPRECISEox What?! Why do you have to bring nationalism and race into this? Is that what you always do when you get caught not knowing what you’re talking about?

Nobody can tell... And that pretty much says it all 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢

That’s what most American women look like to me

@@user-lt4dm4zx3z your personality is incredibly unattractive, I'd argue that's much worse

sure pal. Another internet expert.

It's just a drill calm down

Please post a video of yourself being so conditioned and being a movement expert.

Yea that’s why you’re not supposed to throw naked low kicks and just stand in place. I could land leg kicks on you all day and you wouldn’t be able to touch me.

That again „in the Streets“ a question: Do you want to defend yourself , or hurt some one? This is combat sports no self defense.

Come to my channel and watch my second video (title: Full Contact Karate in Early MMA) for proof. You keyboard experts are the ones spreading BS claims.

Thanks for your comment, unfortunately this 2 minute clip does not provide ALL of these students training, this is purely a snippet of a drill for a specific purpose. To your point, yes these students are also trained in boxing, kickboxing and Muay Thai.

Practitioners of full contact Karate can't endure nor inflict real damage my butt. If that's true, then how come the examples from my second video (title: Full Contact Karate in Early MMA) show different results?

The OP is just not true, karate is basically kickboxing

@@andy_s_8982 No kickboxing organization claims that Karate and kickboxing are the same. There are other stuff in Karate which do not overlap with kickboxing's methodology such as throws, locks, open hand strikes, stand up grabbing and etc. If you don't get it, search these following videos on youtube for context:

@@combatsportsarchive7632 Practitioners of this fake-ass bullshit "karate" obviously aren't trained full-contact so they can't inflict or endure reallife damage which is why they suck which is why they get so easily obliterated by the Thai muayers, other kickboxers, and other boxers.
