@feroz khan shakil Agree about your comment on Kyokushin vs MDK TKD. Muay Thai is a more complete striking art with better clinching tech. so I give Muay Thai the edge, but much less than a lot of martial arts where there is no sparring or live training. Have a nice day!

@@ericdelabyme1866 Muay Thai does not teach front foot side kick and rear foot stomping front kick, only the pro players of Muay Thai use it now!

No, Tang Soo Do, Taekwondo (Chungdokwan) and Shorin Ryu dominated the stand up traditional martial arts circuits in 60s and 70s era, called "blood and gut era" Shotokan sometimes had good fighters while Kyokushin were nowhere near top level during this time period.

You will lose students since it gets brutal and people get hurt.

moo duk kwan is a hybrid style, it was started by a tae kwon do master but he incorporated juijitsu, traditional karate and judo into the style. It is very street effective. It is not kick focused like traditional tae kwon do.

@@mrcampo19 This is the most efficient style of martial arts self defense I saw among all those coming from Korea. Comparing it to a combative sport like Taekwondo is not relevant. Comparing it to the other self-defense styles of Korea put them on top. I expected to see fake fights, unworkable standup wrist techniques, etc and saw this instead!!! The striking is good to great. Grappling is average to weak. Fighting spirit = through the roof! (great!!!)

I cannot find anything good to say about ATA. To easily distinguish the styles, look at the fighting rules. Itf is point system and light contact. Olympic style use full rounds and it's full contact. Both are limited as self-defense system because there are no punch (real or controlled, ) to the head,, no elbow/knee strikes, no headbutts, and no grappling at all. Olympic style will help you to be in great physical shape! I hope that helped.

There is , its called Kudo or Daido juku by Takeshi Azuma. Also there is kyokushin budokai by late Jon Bluming

A respectful way to discriminate between styles, is to examine the training methodology. Not all martial arts are equal, some are actually dangerous to their practicioneer giving them a false self-confidence because of the flaw of their training and the weakness of their technique. So my point is that the training must be as alive as possible and the sparring light to medium with heavy sparring sporadically. I understand and agree with almost all of your points. Sadly we need to discriminate to weed out the mcdojos and the charlatans. Love your attitude and respect!

It's a fight, not a dance. Only makes sense that things gets a little frayed.

These fights were nowhere near street brawl territory and while the athletes showcased were good strikers, there were no elbows or knee strikes, no headbutts. On their feet they knew how to handle themselves. Their lack of stand-up clinching techniques, lack of efficient take-downs and poor ground technique is the true weakness of that art. Stil I have the utmost respect for the fighters of Team Grandeza and since the rules of the tournament were not shown some of my points may be false. Much better than what we saw at most McDojo. I have confidence that they would be able to defend themselves in most street scenarios because they fight for real, no point system and full contact. Congrats!!! Just watching them is motivation for training hard!

mmalutador You are full of sh-t. Steve Grandeza is a kickboxing champion and a Jiu Jitsu medalist.

Just watched world Pencak Silat champ and it has become a parody of itself. I think you are only joking. I sure hope so.
