@@amberlight5527 Despite his "many years" training, that black guy has no feeling about what "budô" means, and this is why he cowardly striked like an asshole.

OSU! Thank you so much ....appreciate it

@@josepshchavez4337 thats a big step! Best of luck! Osu!

@@ShihanTomCallahan but i quit a long time ago and my dad moved too ft Myers and the school is Miami ?. .

Loriane Parent I'm a 6th Kyu currently in Kyokushin-kan

dakentaijutsu2010 Keep fighting

no difference, same style, but different organization, that's all!

dakentaijutsu2010 there are some differences. Take for example the first kata Taikyoko sono ichi. Instead of going straight to the punch, we have to lift our fist. In Kyokushin we don’t do that. Small differences easy to learn and get used to. But yes, same style and different organization.

yea didn't think he'd stood back up, hope he was alright when that cooled down

osu! Thank you

It wasn’t a serious injury at all. He continued and was fine. I would have stopped it if it were serious.

after some time the boy will not have a knee, the damaged bindings will stop holding, you have to be brainless to allow such kicks in the Dojo ... It is suitable for fighting on the street

@@ShihanTomCallahan And you were able to make that determination how? This whole session was stupidly uncontrolled and unsupervised.

@@ravpolska4944 This was years ago and he is doing great and is a fantastic athlete. He and I are very close. Please don't talk about what you don't KNOW about. People do get injured in full contact karate. It was a minor thing and he continued fighting and has for years now. NO knee issues at all.

@@Midwinter2 welcome to Kyokushin full contact. This kid continued ,passed his test and is still a wonderful athlete and has a never give up attitude in life. Wasn't injured, just HURT for a bit. If you watch from the beginning, it was indeed supervised. These are how tests are conducted. I made the determination because I have been doing this for 35 years and I know the student very well. I hope that answers your question. You don't have to agree with my answer, just tellin you the way it is.

OSU! Thank you . Where are you located and what organization are you with?

Francesco L. Bellman that was mean

Definitely, as a black belt he should have gone easier on him with the techniques...

OSU!

do you pay for your own medical fees or does the association cover it if you ever get injured in belt promotions?

@@wasabi5338 We have dojo insurance.

Bayardo Ampie what does that mean?

Dolph trains with us quite a bit, he would appreciate this comment :)

Kamil M He seems more organised, so since he is a black belt I would guess it is simply experience

I agree with OP. I think he has some Okinawan vibes.

He definitely have another style background, looks more like a point karate stance like wado ryu/Goju-Ryu/Shotokan etc. Look at kyokushin black belts and competitors and you see that they don't have the same stance

Dan Cross Trains in Goju Kai with Sensi Cassie Naidoo

No it is kyokushin just not the modern tournament meta. Even the spin kick to the leg Andy Hug did that in k1 even.

If you are still able and interested, let me know where you live and perhaps I can locate a Kyokushin dojo for you OSU!

OSU! Every dojo is different. Just try your best and don’t give up.

OSU@@ShihanTomCallahan

yes he still trains in other disciplines now, but he always tells me what he learned form those years carries into all his other endeavors. I moved from LA to Boulder, so I was unable to teach him.

@@ShihanTomCallahan Ahh ok. Training in Kyokushin defintely carries over into your life. After all, it isn't a sport but a way of life. All the best to you and your students Shihan. OSU!!

@@daymunsdayz OSU! Thank you

Not any more unfortunately,. I moved to Boulder Colorado, and several of the other black belts ended up relocating as well. We shared the dojo with a Goju Ryu school but they closed everything down. OSU!

@ShihanTomCallahan awwww man that sucks i really e Want to get into Kyokushin i appreciate it thanks ill keep looking i live in san jose California myself. OSU

@@empgkrazer_5124 best of luck let me know if you have any questions

@ShihanTomCallahan i will thank you OSU!

orange blue yellow green brown black (with a following color stripe in between each)

@@ShihanTomCallahan Thank you for answering and for the information. OSU!

EXACTLY!!!

@@ShihanTomCallahan instagram.com/oyama_karate_team/

I shared the dojo with A goju Ryu school and the Shihan there is Vassie Naidoo, originally from South Africa…:)

who are you>? reveal yourself tough guy

@@MM-ou1kd You are a 8th dan shihan and you say something like this? Good luck in LA I am sure you have spoken with Shihans Taku and Fard. I find your comment quite rude from a Shihan with such a high rank

He is testing for the next rank, which is Yellow

@@ShihanTomCallahan Ah good. In Shotokan Karate is the blue belt the higher rank.

@@e.h.2265 yea I thought that might be the case. We are orange, blue yellow green brown black

Congratulations, OSU!

The style is different. You just saw the kumite. There are also kata, kihon and every basic stuff we learn. Kyokushin and Shinkyokushin is full contact, but we thrive to become better and not use violence. We learn how to fight so that we know it hurts.

Andrea Russo then you shouldn't be here if you can't stomach Full contact Karate, because that's exactly what Kyokushin is, and you're just judging by looking at the Kumite side of this, Kyokushin also does Kata and Kihon!

Of course it’s violence, it’s martial arts.😂

True and besides, in a real life situation, there is violence. If not ready for a real life encounter with violence, good luck.

go back to playing tag for points and screaming when you land a pillow strike then

ComplexBlackness Honestly, it's ironic you should say that, since elusiveness and footwork were mostly put in place for competition. And are avoided for self defense. The logic is that you don't want to risk falling. It's part of why old school full contact today guys used to beat a lot of karate guys in karate tournament. Because they had better movement, and it helped for competitions.

I wonder what you know about self defense at all. All encounters/brawls I witnessed in eastern Europe were devoid of any "elusive" footwork or whatever.

Which guy?

@@ShihanTomCallahan the one who is being tested

@@MohammedAlmawali AH…he passed and got his yellow and almost his green but he stopped training. Cameron is his name. Tough cookie. Nice kid

Tang Mingchen and who are you to judge?

He passed this test but failed his green belt. Its not ALL about fighting ...KATA , Kihon also involved. Yes it is about spirit , but your spirit is polished as you grow as a karate-ka. As his Sensei, I felt he needed to pass this test.

Who are you to judge? As a karateka, I'm offended you say that. We fight hard with a good attitude. You think Karate is only about fighting? It's about becoming better and stronger every day. It's about kata, kihon and every basic techniques we've learned. If his sensei judged he was ready to pass, it's his choice.

He will come better and eventually get his green. If he doesn't quit, that is.

Indeed! At least a brown belt!!!

kyokushin it's a good bare-knuckle fighting style . respect to everyone all over the world. Osu!!

Mae geri

Mae(Front) geri(kick) the kick he used is a back spinning kick (Ushiro mawashi geri)

It's the budo samuari spirit that lives within kyokushin, it's a deep rooted culture and not for everyone but that's the way. It's not bullying, it's pushing yourself to your absolute limit, and then beyond, it's a true test mentally as much as physically. At the last rounds it's all about ''surviving'' and showing your will power to be able to keep standing up, that's kyokushin. I must admit tho to that these higher grades did some unnecessary stuff, too much head kicks, knock out techniques etc. It's not a bloody knock out tournament.. However, while MMA obviously does teach more aspect to fighitng, it's not really comparable to kyokushin. I am myself a kyokushin Brown belt but I've done some MMA as well, but knock down (kyokushin) sparring is by far the most exhausting/hard type of sparring in my opinion, and it really condition your mind and body, you will for sure know how to take a proper beating and still be able to stand up and deliver. And if you don't protect your head you will end up getting knees and kicks so you always gotta protect your head. And btw in my dojo we do sparr sometimes with punches to the head as well. So It's an excellent martial art in my opinion with both culture, philosophy and hard sparring.

No idea have you. They are testing his spirit. How much can he ensure and push through the pain. All the comment I see on here about oh they're hurting him too much stop being pussies. It's a full contact style of karate.

why speak on things you know nothing about?

@@daveblueballz6659 Why speak you in broken English like cheesy kung fu master on TV?

@@Midwinter2 comprehension issues?

please come visit the dojo. bring your gloves

You think you can do better? Keyboard warrior! Lol!

Tom Callahan this guy is truly trolling here, what does he really know? only a keyboard warrior that's behind the safety of a computer would say this, Kyokushin Karate is the bests, and I'm proud to be learning it, and I would dare this guy to go to your dojo and say that!

pff keyboard warrior. try fighting a kyokushin black belt and see what happens

You're just trolling. Kyokushin is considered one of the best styles. I learned both Kyokushin and Shinkyokushin, and and I enjoy what I'm learning. Please, show a bit more respect to our practitioners all around the world.

It is not so easy to land a kick to the face when an opponent keeps the pressure on you. These guys can fight at all ranges but you can see here that as other karate styles they get inside. Second of all karate in general does contain grappling, some styles emphasize more than others and generally it is used to set up strikes however it is there. They don’t punch each other on the face on kumite but if they do happen to land a kick to the head it is game. Observe that there is no protective gear, I have seen instances as in other karate styles where there is not even gloves so clearly in order to practice with some degree of safety some compromises are necessary. Last, try sparring with one of these guys, they can hit and take it.
