For me the most frustrating people to spar were Kyokushin, judo, and boxing. The judokas with their sweeps and throws The boxers with their head movement and counters The kyokushin folks with those kicks, and they're so relaxed when fighting that it's hard to rattle them

i wish they had small gloves when i was growing up, these 8 oz gloves is so uncomfortable and it's hard as hell to throw como with it if you are a fast fighter by nature, 8 oz gloves is only useful for slow people with no foot work.

If kyokoshin trained head punches they'd definetly be one of the best striking arts. They'd stand with muay Thai, boxers or even lethwei cos of the bareknuckles and their beast conditioning

@ppo2424 11 күн бұрын

We do train head punches in the dojo, but dont use them in competition because we fight breknuckle s you said. They used to do it but there was too much damage being done. I wouldn't object if they used MMA type gloves in competition though.

The right straight at 6:55 I think was the precursor to the knock down a few seconds after.

Kyokushin Karate doesn't have punches to the face as though he didn't learn punches to the face and only using karate attacks🤣🤣 Akimoto isn't used to being punched in the face .🤣🤣 Isn't he a kick boxer and muay Thai fighter/mma fighter?

@penttikoivuniemi2146 11 күн бұрын

Yeah, I don't get why commentators always get a hard-on for Kyokushin. Much of what he did in this match was clear Muay Thai, the only Kyokushin-specific technique he throws is the high roundhouse kick. Although to be honest, both styles have nearly identical basic punches so maybe you could say his punches come from Kyokushin originally.

@digdug23 11 күн бұрын

@penttikoivuniemi2146 Yeah, he originally started in karate, but he started doing kicked boxing and Muay thai before he fought in this. They act as though he straight out of karate school fighting this dude.

@penttikoivuniemi2146 4 күн бұрын

@@crisalcantara7671 I'm not saying it doesn't, but Akimoto throws low kicks exactly in the way Muay Thai teaches them rather than Kyokushin. Funny that you would say that to me, since I actually think Muay Thai is the most over-hyped martial art in the world. Sure it works, but it consists almost completely of the most basic striking imaginable and I absolutely hate the traditional rear-weighted stance. And the scoring and rule set of actual MT matches is hot garbage.
