I train at the Newbury Park dojo. You must be very experienced to be training two fighters. I really want to go to the World Tournament. But I don't want to go alone. And none of my friends or family want to go. The ticket price is unbelievably cheap though

Are you going to the summer camp?

What organisation?

When you are 8th or 9th Dan you are called Hanshi. Steve Arneil is 9th Dan.

All the adults in my dojo do Knuckle push ups. I think your right about the knuckle push ups. I based my information on a diffrent post. But further research on google has disproved the statement.

Hanshi = Honorable Master http://www.uskyokushin.com/images/term/hanshi.gif

Sensei Google comes up with: Shinden Shinzen ni (rei) = (Bow) to the alter Shomen ni (rei) = (Bow) to the front

I don't know any MMA Kyokushin practioners. But the following have fought in the K1: Andy Hug Francisco Filho Glaube Feitosa Nicholas Pettas Michael Thompson And some more in the K1 vs Kyokushin event. In which Kyokushin won all rounds

Why the switch?

K1 fighter kicks are very powerful. Musashi is known for his lightning fast kicks that are very effective. The fact that the are quick means that they are very poweful. I also don't see anyone getting defensive about your post. It's just the fact that you are slightly insulting the worlds best fighters I do not mean to flame. Just inform you about the K1 tournament and fighters

K1. I've got over 800mb of K1 footage. Please explain what you think is good form? Or why they haven't got good form?, instead of asking a question like that

But thats how fighting is. Anyway most K1 fighters do show good form.

Sensei Google came up with this.

How?

Both are extremely good. But I would go with Enshin, as full contact sparring will give you excellent stamina and conditioning for a street fight. You will also get use to pain. And the grappling side of Enshin will be very useful on the street and should be easy to learn, as you have previous experience. Not to say Shorin Ryu doesn't have grappling though. You may also get the chance to compete in the Sabaki Challenge What ever you decide Im sure you will be pleased. As Shorin Ryu bunkai is top notch for street defence. Even though Kyokushin is mainly Naha Te. I prefer Shuri Te katas as they contain more street/self defence moves.

Naihanchi isn't part of the Kyokushin syllabus. Even though theres video footage of Mas Oyama peforming it. It's a shame, as the bunkai I've seen for Naihanchi is really effective

I just thought you made a typo with chuudan. As I thought it was spelt Chudan. But Im guessing it's just a diffrent translation of the kanji

So far all of the posts here have been top notch I was expecting a nooby topic. But this has been quite enlightening.

An example of fighting spirit is Kenji Sempai. A kyokushin karateka who fought with four broken ribs in a fight lasting 10 minutes. And competed twice in the World tournament finals. He also then went on to complete the 100 man kumite. The ultimate test in Osu. If he just worked on Kihon, I doubt he would be where he is now.
