I’m black belt, been doing kyokushin for 16 years now, I’ve had encounters with most styles in martial arts and I will say, they were good in what they do, but during our sparring sessions, at the end most of them would ask me if I feel anything at all, and I would smile and think of my sensei, he used to say, “ your opponent waits for a sign of pain to show on your face, if you don’t give him that, you have advantage over his most trusted technique, I have learnt to fight with a smile on my face, because I’m not worried about getting hit, I just want to fight.

This was very good skill from Orange belt. Once he reaches higher belt his skill should be amazing in Kumites. OSU!

My Sempai told me recently that the reason why this type of conditioning is so important is because when you get hit for real in the street, it won't phase you or put you in shock... In other words, your'e reaction time will be faster because you're able to take a hit. My wife, son and I just got our Orange belt in Kyokushin. It's hard work but so rewarding! Osu!

Unfortunately he had to go home to Turkey (he was an exchange student) and the place he lives in now has no karate dojos. I hope he will be able to continue later.

Itch knee son chee f#@k me jump on me i pay you you kill me OSU

Well, in my experience I would say that the issue is the general litigation culture in America. American kyokushin fighters have the same potential as everyone else. We all have two feet and two hands to learn to strike with. The problem is that in the US no-one or very few would dare train their students like this for fear of being sued. If this were not the case then I am sure we would see many more great kyokushin fighters from the US as Americans love martial arts. Osu!

That orange belt is a warrior! I have trained with many styles and none are as conditioned as Kyokushin fighters.. Respect!

Just like in my old times..... Humbleness and respect at the end. Osu!

I train in a Seishinkai Shito ryu dojo, which doesn't do this sort of conditioning. But I do it on my own. I bought a rattan-wood police riot control stick and recruited my brother-in-law, who doesn't do martial arts. He's a gentle soul and was horrified at first. But now he's getting used to beating the crap out of me. (I'm only referring to getting hit with the stick on arms, legs, abs., etc. Not the other techniques in this video.) For me, it has two benefits: [1] improves my stances. If I'm in proper form I get no damage, not even a bruise, on my legs, etc. The only pain is the initial sting. But if my form is bad, I'll get hurt/bruised. [2] Improves my kiai. Everyone talks about the importance of kiai, improving it, etc. For me, this is the best way; because it also prevents injury. The force of a kiai, coming from deep within, seems to add further strength/tone to the muscles during a hit. And when being hit in the abdominal area, it's really important. I've been hit very hard in the abs and never doubled over, never got the wind knocked out of me, or anything. Because I breathe out with a kiai while receiving the blow. (Also, knowing that a proper kiai can help prevent injury is a great motivator for me to get it right. Several years ago I was just yelling "Kiai" out of my throat. Now it comes from deep within; especially when dealing with the rattan stick.) When I first started this, I would get bruises on the skin of my abs. That's because I was about 5 lbs overweight. Fat contains its own blood supply; so the hits caused bruising. Once I lost the fat, I no longer got the bruises. As I said, I don't officially know Kyokushin. Only Shito ryu. So none of my comments should be taken as the official "way it is." It's only my experience. If any of you have more advice, I'd appreciate any comments you write here. Oss!

Great conditioning training! I remember doing this a long time ago. Ossu!

This is so cool, really great to see old martial arts training styles survive to now.

This kind of training is important. It helps to learn how to endure pain, and how to carry on in a battle. This is the kind of training it takes to become a karate master. He didn't break, as you can clearly see. I am 14, and have already had full on contact training. I fight and can endure pain. We are built so that we can never break. So that we have full stamina. This is how karate is. It is important you have this kind of training.

i had flash back my childhood ... kyokushin is the best karate stile...

damn the face stapping thing is wow

Is it just me? Or if they stepped or stood on my stomach I know I would’ve farted😂😂

From what i hear GSP is a Kyokushin black belt and attributes a lot of his success to the mental and physical training he received during his younger years in karate.

Osu, thanks for your question, I think its too hard to answer because everyone responds differently, it also has to do with mind set, not only body. In this video I believe my student had been training three times a week for about one year. I would say that on average it take longer however. I would also say that the stomach is easiest to condition along with the pecs and that thighs and shins are more diffeicult.

very good ive been doin it for yrs its always good to learn something new

Hello, thank you for your message. The pressing on the head is for neck strengthening, the strikes to the body, following wolffs law that a healthy bone of muscle will adapt to the loads to which it is exposed, so yes, over time, repeated strikes to the body will allow the muscles to adapt to the stress. Good luck with your kickboxing training.

This is freaking crazy and awesome! Except that head one in the end..

You guys deserve nothing but respect for all that hard work spirit 👍👍👍 Oss

Kyokushin Karateka! Osu! I admire your spirit! Train hard!

Now this is old school baby!! I wish my Shotokan Karate would have done more of this stuff! I'll do this sh*t all day.

Great! I am happy to hear you enjoyed it and your son is making improvements...kyokushin kumite and shotokan katas...best combination! Welcome to the kyokushin family. Osu

I am still in love with that master and I would love to be trained exactly like this or even tougher!

That's some crazy conditioning right there. Good stuff.

My favourite martial arts, alongside with mma

Note to self: Don't mess with a Kyokushin fighter.

Ossu! from Chile, good training. How are called the "green shield", behind the blue puhing bag in the right side of the screen? (sorry my english)

@thederegulator was he stepping on the head for a strech or was it more of him trying to push back?

That's what i called Kyokushin Osh!!

Te sientes tan bien despues que termina tu dia de entrenamiento de kyokushin , ya que lograste sobre vivir , por ese dia 😳

This kinda training is the shit!!! These dudes are monsters.. remember it's not how hard you hit, it's how hard you get hit and keep moving forward.. OUS! And btw you don't wanna fight with this guy's on the street cause your going to the hospital..

respect for this guy

@ManicLeo Well that too, but my main motivation was to build up his neck muscles more because if his neck is stronger, when he gets kicked in the head, there is less chance of his head moving so fast that his brain shifts inside his skull and he is knocked out. Of course, there are many ways to build up your neck strength, this would be just one. Osu.

KEEP TRAINING HARD ! Im orange belt too and im ready to ignore a lot of pain!

I’m interested in starting this style of karate but are there any concerns about the potential long term damage of internal organs?

@thederegulator Is that Impakt academy of mixed martial arts? If want to play kyokushin karate, seems that should join the membership of the impakt.....Is there any independent kyokushin class in Hong Kong with IKO1? Thanks...

AWESOME!!!

@emmabookshelf because sparring doesnt have the same mental aspect as just standing there and allowing yourself to be hit. Hence his mental strength is vastly improved alongside his physical resilience. Thanks for your comment.

that's how it's done. Wish I could find someone who likes to train around my town.

Is that guy actually an orange belt ? as in the first belt after white ?

And I thought OUR Dojo's conditioning was Spartan! He's a 7th Kyu, right? So I'm guessing at this point he'd been training for maybe 2 years; same as me, but probably with less injuries & more dedication; our Dojo has a different grade system. I was just wondering about your Kihon, Sempai, and if you have a daily conditioning regime to recommend we can do alone when not in the dojo aside from makiwara or bag training that can develop durability? It's for a healthy 30 year old with 1 knee injured

That is hardcore dude!!!

Osu very good conditioning I'm a kyokushin fighter myself but is'nt bouncing on their head like you did it at the end potentially dangerous for the neck even though I can see the point of it.

holy shit! the face stepping tho!

nice training, good job

GSP is still a black belt in kyokushin and you can notice that on his kicks especially!

i love that feeling

Osu! Greetings from Jonesboro, AR Impressive. Can't wait to see more! Osu!

great conditioning proper kyokushin training! Osu!

True, first 2 knuckles, fingertips, and the top of your wrist (for chicken neck strikes)

amazing. true martial conditioning. OSU

orange belt and this strenght?! OSU! i'm just wondering what kyou i it at your club?

I would give anything to become your live in student. Unfortunately, i live here in pathetic ft. smith, arkansas. I want to train in kyokushin like you wouldn't believe. Im considering joining the military (marines or the navy) just so i can travel and become a black belt in different styles, ESPECIALLY kyokushin. Any advice?

gotta love conditioning time during training.....osu from singapore!

SawazzzzzzzzzzzzDEE ... ready to come to Thailand ... keep up the training. ;-)

Haha the jumping on the head is great.

Are you located in Toronto?

I love karatê, Oss!❤️

Gotta love that San Chin dachi OSU!

The art of taking a beating and then dishing one out!

Power!

Bei ricordi grazie Senpai Prosapio Kyokushin Oliveto Citra...!! OSU!

what rank is your student now ? more than 3 years later ?

Insane train... But thats will be your best protection

I don't do Kyokushin but I'm very impressed by how well they can soak up damage and would like to incorperate their conditioning work in to my art. How often should you do this? How far should it be pushed?

Senpai, will you make another conditioning video soon?

true, if it were a pure kyokushin dojo, but these days many gyms have several martial arts and people try karate as one of many choices and as such are not prepared for the training process. a lot of people just want to lose weight and get fit. this is my own experience anyway.

WHOAA this dude is a monster

N I thought life is tuff. Glad I came here.

@thederegulator That's sad. I want to play kyokushin karate with IKO1. However, the terms and condition that impakt listed is too tough. They said they can change their price without notice and they charge through your bank account. That's not good for us. I prefer to give cash every month. In fact, i just want to play kyokushin karate, not to join that membership lol. Well, you teach kyokushin karate? Is there any information that you can give me? Thanks

Hi, sorry, I just saw your comment. YEs, its can be very difficult to find a kyokushin or full contact dojo in the US. If you want to travel to study martial arts, I think that is a very noble thing to do. Maybe you can do a working holiday to overseas, like to Korea for example to teach English and train in martial arts while you are there. Anyway, good luck with your finding a good karate school!

good video!

Man how you condition your body like that without any injury?

The first time the student in the video came to my class, he was nearly sick after class, but this video was only 9 months later. Anything is possible with a tsrong will and hard training! Of course you can train for that but you need to be hit to get used to being hit.

Kyokushin Kai never die OSU 💪 die a thousand times to live once🥋The one thing I don't understand is, why he is standing on his head. What is good for? Is to strengthen the neck muscles? Or is something else?

Yo entiendo este acondicionamiento a un nivel muy avanzado, y para campeonatos, aun asi lo veo demasiado severo y peligroso hasta el punto de ocasionar alguna lesion q le incapacite para seguir entrenando o compitiendo, OSU!!!

Yes he is an orange belt, as in the first belt after white.

Incroyable mais cet jeune homme remportera tout duel face a n'importe quel persone car il phyisiquement près maintenant il ne reste plus qu'ameliorer sa technique.

@Linos33 The purpose is the strengthening of neck.

it was all normal and intense, until i saw the end. dayum, thats what i call conditioning LOL

La fina línea que hay entre 'templar el cuerpo y el espíritu' y una práctica sadomasoquista es algo que como amante de las artes marciales y el combate siempre me he cuestionado... Considero que el arte marcial da un margen para que pueda encontrarme (encontrarnos) con mi sombra y lado oscuro de agresividad y darle un cauce constructivo. GRACIAS!

You can roll a glass bottle (like a beer bottle) or a rattan stick (like they use in kali) over your shins.

how does this help ?

Perhaps it would be better if I got another beginner with no experience, accuracy or control of his power and/or judgement of how far to push it to do the conditioning? Wow yeah what a logical point you make!

So do they just "woosh" until the attacker gets bored?

If you read the previous comments, that about neck strengthening, not conditioning his head. Thanks.

awesome you guys rock, respect. osu

Yes I agree, what I meant was that he no longer actively practises kyokushin as an art.

im 14 Orange Belt & i do the exact same training except for the standing on the head My sensai would stand there pnchin me for about 10mins The first day i did this high lvl of training i almst passed out but as days passed it got easier And its not because my sensai goes softr At first i h8ed the training untill my sensai said i should join a tornmnt So i did, joined a small league tornamnt & it was a breeze. After taking heave hits from my sensai taking hits frm ppl my age was to easy.

Nice video, hard fighter. OSU!

This is so gangstah.

lol All I can think of is that one scene from kung pow where Betty takes all the hits while he just stands there. TOWEL, PLEASE.

Damn..this guy is an orange belt,I am sure he is much better and tough than most of the black belts out there.

Come from a small town in Indiana (Kokomo) and I have trained with a lot of martial artist, fighters and non-fighters, and have found few to none that have that kind of conditioning training. Looks like it would be effective, where are all you at in my town? Come find me. Lets train.

damn...watching this making me miss my training... OSU from Indonesian Kyokushin!

wouldn't mess with this guy :o

why are you using a tatami? ;D

Well there are many. George St Pierre has a kyokushin background. Bas Rutten is a 2nd degree kyokushin black belt.
