this is kyokushin

sometimes I see very strange ideas about karate on this forum

the karate I know is not about screaming and jumping
it's about hitting hard
really, really hard
and endure

so I present you:
Kyokushin

Awesome. They need to work on their blocks though IMO

So, no punches to the head, but kicks to the head are ok?

I agree

it's weird, they don't use blocks like they learn and of course because you cannot get hit in the head they don't even pay attention to that with their blocking...

“	Originally Posted By: Unkotare So, no punches to the head, but kicks to the head are ok?????????	”

yup....
hitting faces with bare hands might hurt your hands I guess...

From the wiki:
"In the earliest kyokushin tournaments and training sessions bare knuckle strikes to the face were allowed, but resulted in many injuries, and thus, students who were forced to withdraw from training. Mas Oyama believed that wearing protective gloves would detract from the realism that the style emphasizes. Therefore, it was decided that hand and elbow strikes to the head and neck would no longer be allowed in training and competition. Also, many governments don't allow bare knuckle strikes to the head in sanctioned martial arts competitions, providing further reason."

Thanks for sharing, I really enjoyed the vid!
But I cant help but think from that performance that it reminds me of rock em sock em robots. They had great attributes but it didnt seem like they understood the space around them and how to use it to their advantage.
It looked alot like one dimensional fighting.
But I still enjoyed the vid.








take care,
