I really can't believe all the negative comments regarding this workout! That what it is...he's working out!!!! "low kicks are weak." What?! Stand there and take em then. The brother is training working on his craft! Much respect in my book! Osu!

this guy has great combos and excellent power its beautiful to watch

It is true kyokushin!

It's a low kick and it's effective. Doest it matter if it's a kyokushin style or a muay thai style kick? the important thing is it's effective. It has to be kyokushin because the guy is wearing kyokushin uniform.. Ask him what his style is and if he says kyokushin there's nothing you can do about it. Even if you say it's not it will always be his answer that will matter not yours.

Mas Oyama adopted the Muay Thai low kick and it's leg block (although i could be wrong on this last one) when he was researching different fighting styles to creat Kyokushinkai. It's no disrespect or "lower action" to adopt whatever you feel is effective from other styles. Muay Thai adopted Western Boxing too.

This is so impressive. Really inspiring, well done, it's obvious a lot of hard work went into getting you to such a high level. Thanks for sharing, OSU!!!

Man martial arts are great, they all have something to offer us, no matter what style. My respects to all martial artists.

He has really great hands and legs speed and power for his size.

Kyokushin way So inspirational anything is possible if you put your mind body and spirit into it cant wait to join the dojo

dude this is such a good workout

that guy is awesome !!! loved it...great training.

love the jodan mawashi geri .. just beautiful

Those leg pads are sick. I need to see about getting a setup like that.

first time seeing those leg shields, very cool! looks like they work well against even a powerful kick. what is it like wearing them?

In Kyokushin, We train punches to the head for a street fight. However in knock down karate tournaments, strikes to the head are not allowed. Kyokushin looks alot like Muay Thai and we often have them participate in our tournaments

Great Power, speed and accuracy!

Today we find a modern karate, wich is also, besides Kihon, Kata, Idogeiko, Kumite traditional stuff, adapted to professional fighting contests, such as K1 for example. This video is pretty interesting because it shows that. A interesting mix of kyokushin style of fighting (always a lot of low kicks, head kicks in combination with puches) but with gloves and face punches.

Saw this guy kicking a bus, now it's used as an acordion

Wow , good work and the kick knee high before hit

OSU from California USA! I'm a 7th kyu right now. I hope to get this good in the future.

awesome dude

@lisberto o i get it thanx but also i would like to know who created a karate move or at least id u knew a kata including yamazuki (mountin punch )?

Great work, nice and sharp.

Some solid work right here.

kyokushin is a very strong art.... not just physically but mentally...i'm glad i've trained it from young... very good base to crossover to my tomoi(muay thai) training.... thnx for sharing mate respects from malaysia! Osu

Great combos , great punches and kicks . OSU

Yeah, traditional kyokushin is a little bit different, focusing more on kicks and chest/stomach punches. Traditionally, what it claims to be, was like "not punching in the face because it's too easy. let you only KICK the face. more dificult but also stronger. These rules were made by Grandmaster Oyama, to make a more competitive kumite. But some muay thai influence was into that: you can kind of hold your opponent's head to beat with your knee.

@toxi87 if you trip over your gi you can shorten them. but often keeping your heel up will fix the bulk of the problem. also if you step shallower. it should fix it(but shotokan like the stances deep and heel down so maybe buy shorter gi)

What is the name of the leg pads he is kicking?

that looks like really good full contact training for Kykushin. kind of looks like what would happen if you combined Kykushin with full on boxing/kickboxing.

Excellent

Beautiful ! Osū 🥋

1st of all, I'm from Poland, and the 2nd, I train Kyokushin for 2 years already...and my sensei said that we ALWAYS should protect head. Blow me than

@scarred10 You are right , it also looks like kudo to me, besides in kyokushin we never use gloves.

what kind of leg shield are those?

amazing speed and power!

@Kyofighter93 yeah i was watching him train and i kept expect ing him to catch his pant leg and topple over, I like to pull my pants alittle higher and fold over the waist band tying the draw string tight.

those leg pads are interesting, any idea where to buy it?

The sound of this video is incredible. A videogame should use that!

I like that you evolve your kyukushin training to the next level by implementing head punchs but let's be honest that is just modern kickboxing with a emphasis on good snappy kicks

Such power!👏👏👏👍👍👍💯💯💯

@kamiral Thanks Kamiral. Man he is awesome. Osu.

Nice to see, thanks

crazy strong and fast!

nice video, those internet warriors commenting on his lowkick now having power? why don't you take that kick on your leg and then comment if you dare. His lowkick is fine, lots of power, and so far I've never seen anyone covering his face when using so much power in his kick. It's either cover up the face and lose power or go all out and risk your guard

@jaylugh thats fine as long as you dont get caught while changing stances and your legs are loose......Low kicks are no joke, if you've never really experienced one before.....try it

In tournaments as you usually see, no. However, a lot of dojos these days do a lot of boxing and gloved fighting integrated into the curriculum.

@FaridYM bad is an overstatement, I would like to see more rotation of the hips if he where my fighter

where did they get that BUDO BEST shield thingy?

Gotta love the contrast between the guys that are being filmed and the guys in the back.

Where can I get those giant leg shields?

true power!

The Kyokushin they are training may involve teaching things outside of the sport. It's like Sanshou teaching elbows, despite it not being used in their sport. Or Judo teaching strikes.

@hbolle00 here you go 1) informal greeting way among young male friends. Should not be used to greet older people. 2) Some Karate practicing people may be using this term in place of such as "yes sir*. However, it seems this word is a recent invention and not so much used among degnified old Karate-ka. 1) When two boys meet, they may say "ossu" "ossu" like "Hi" "Hello". 2) Karate-ka 1 show example, another may say "ossu".

@Spikiera Oh sorry you great Sensai,LOL!

OSU! From Romania:).Nice combinations...and very good kime(force and speed)

I like this guy, he is good! :)

@Sephiroth0232 yeah it is, are you actually doing this sport? on my sensei's (4th dan black belt in kyokushin and kickboxing) in the end of the dojo rules it says: OSU.

he is a machine

@davis311c Well they say that kickboxing derived from the mixing of boxing and karate.

BRAVO!

Did they added sound effects to this video ? o.O nice kicks man and work keep it up i hope one day i could spar someone from kyokushin :)

My training is based on power & speed... In fact we're told to focus on firstly training technique, then power and finally speed should come naturally... So personally I wouldn't say karate kicks are focused on speed more than power... (Kyokushin)

Excelent, Armani! :)

is this shinKyokushin or kyokushin?

8 people got leg-kicked by this guy. Keep it up man. Osu from Winnipeg!

Great work guys!!!

@sxrs303 bescaue thats how kyokushin kick,they use thai round kicks.Actually id reckon this is kudo rather than kyokushin,there are no head punches in kyokushin sparring.

good speed bro

good!

@MrChrisgabber kyokushin takes the kick from muay thai,its not in any other karate styles apart from kk offshoots.Hes sacrificing some power for speed of follow up with the hands,you see it all the time in kickboxing matches

Anyone here know where I can buy that legs pad or what its call? 🙂

@hbolle00 I am but I haven't seen it written anywhere and I know a fair bit of japanese to tell you that usually it's written with 2 s but okay

OSU from spain, nice video

shin kyokushin has very beautiful gis

Osu! solid karate

The kyokushin jucjs are generally "snapping" kicks. in muay thai the leg is mostly straight when kicking but in karate the knee is bent until you extend the kick and kind of, snap it out. muay thai = focus on power Karate = speed

cu ce parte a piciorului lovesti?

Its just the echo but his technic is good!

Now this is karate!

Yesssss OSU !

@Kyofighter93 Lol ill have to remember that!

SWOOOSH!

@Sephiroth0232 Osu* is the correct term ;D

nice ;)

The most brutal karate style ever osu

All about explosion ;)

@jcbastich Look if he can't even get his pants right, how do we expect him to karate right?

I see it's in Romania :))

I don't understand why people think that the way you train is the way you fight, sometimes we do stuff we never use in fights, most of them are for aquiring technique, speed, coordination, etc. And for fighting, that's what the sparrings are for. In Kyokushin we DO punch people in the face, we just don't do it in tournaments, since barefisted fighting tent to cause large cuts very easily, that rule is to protect fighters from unecessary, unconclusive damage.

This guy knows what he's doing..

bravo...imi place cum te misti

It depands of the style of karate and style of Taekwondo that you mean

Be Dhe Best, Budo Best

wow this guy is really good, his accuracy is really good. i like his spinning heel kick, good accuracy really good! ima martial artist and i train everyday tryin to get better, i hope u guys check out my sparring videos and see what u think.

I'm a shotokan practioner. Been that way for over 9 years. I wonder how well I will transition into kyokushin.

brutal.

Lyoto Machida comes from a Shotokan background.

極真って上段突きあるか？ 普通に顔面突いてるけど

I'll take that!
