What works inside the ring , works outside the ring as well , if u are able to hook ur opponent down to the ground in a tournament , imagine what that will do to him Bare-knuckled Yeah , 100% true , thatz where inring fighting is important

What the guys said is true , beside , u do not have to compete in professional bouts , try local and international amateur level tournaments first and if u are not satisfied with that then u can fight professionally . you'll be surprised of how hard an amateur tournament can be

Hi all , It's been six month since I ever visited KF , six month since I ever trained in martial arts . Now that am back to training, I decided to rejoin KF .. Any way , My name is Alexander , I've been doing Kyokushin Karate since I was 14 years old (now I am 23) ,I've also done Muay thai and kickboxing(brown belt KB) however , I have recently started boxing and I love it ... KF was one of the best MA sites when I left it , am sure I will have a lot of knowledge here , thx in advance ..

Quit training ,lol .. Seriously , there is nothing wrong with it just don't take it too far

Hello Wow , after 4 month that topic survives It's vital for a martial artist to be in a REAL fight NOT sparring from time to time , don't you agree ?? I mean , I know martial arts are all about discipline ,however , one must have the inring and the real fight experience .. By the way , even if you are a black belt and if you are well prepared , if you don't have inring experience , a lower rank with more experiience would easly win the macth , same goes for real fights , osu

Kung Fu guys tend to be very flashy but have no real striking power. Tomo Some but not all of us. Ehmmm.. Well said

maybe your not crazy and you just enjoy rolling around with guys more then spending time with pretty girls. Nice ... Hahahahahaha MTBoxer .. That was completly weird if you want my opinion ...

Knee injuries are the nastiest good luck man

Kyokushin = Budo , Budo = Kyokushin

Happy Thanksgiving to all

Thats kanku dai

Just our dojo as far as i know , but other dojos are incorprating kick & thai techniques (and grappling) one way or another , hek , I know an instructor who registred his style as kyokushin muay thai ( sounds silly , I know )

Hi guys , back (@ least online ) I understand that , and because kyokushin is budo , I like to compete , kyokushin's competition is 1) hard; 2) helps building spirit; 3) gives you confidence; 4) gives you a real view of what strike can do to you and to your opponent; 5) you can't just pick a random guy and kick the he^^ out of him in the street to test ur karate , thats against the purpose of martial arts , but you can do so in comeptition ; 6) all the greats in kyokushin competed in their 20's , ask Matsui or Midori ; 7) I really enjoy kumite I am thinking of it Well , no offense to any one but I don't think I'll love some girl from an african country - again no offense -

Thx guys , my flight is in two hours wish me a "bon voyage" . Case I didn't show up in the near future , it has been an honor to be a member of KF I learned alot from you guys , thx a lot .. Aurevoir

Lol... I thought @ first that you were addressing Elbows_and_knees (KF member )

Hello I don't know if this should be in the general chat or in the general martial arts , any way .. Remember my last post about me moving to a new country ? that was about 20 days ago , well , my flight is tomorrow . I have many things going on my head & that’s natural since I am moving from one environment to another completely different one . But there are two questions that I can't find an answer for : 1- I was trained from the first day I ever stepped into the dojo at age 14 (now I am 22) to the last training session ( which was yesterday ) to FIGHT , to win competitions , now , as a fighter I am on my prime , I've been in 3 international tournaments this year alone , placed 2nd and 3rd in two of them , I've done pretty well in all the national competitions that I've been to , and now , I have to stop all that , not because I want to , it's because there is no kyokushin out there , I keep on asking myself what’s the point of training alone if I am not to put myself under test and compete ? I find it hard to accept that I am not going to compete anymore . 2- ( that should be in the general chat ) There is that girl that I like a lot , I’ve been going out with here for 2 month now and I really like her , I've never had feelings for any other girl the way I feel for her , and I know she feels the same & I want her to be mine for ever BUT since I am leaving tomorrow & I will be away for at least one year , well , I can't promise her of anything right now cause I haven't done any major achievement on the financial side... I am really confused on what to do , I really like her but I don't want to bound her to me with just words .. Thx in advance Mark

kyokushin , try it if you enjoy pain .

just about every training session

I have a nokia 6600 . My GF has a nokia 6600 as well but she thinks it's getting old , she wants to get a pocket PC ( of course her dad is going to pay )

I'd bet on ME

That guy was a real wuss

Pfffffffttttttttt ..... That was soooooo funny , couldn't stop laughing . They are not from the same weight category though. That prooved that also BJJ guys have animal styles , this one is called "the fat cat" style

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.... I couldn't stop laughing , and the funniest part was when he got up and tried to resume the show HAHAHAHAHAHA

Not me

First of all , kicks with full power to the head are perfectly allowed in kyokushin , second , we do not live in a close world anymore and matches between different styles/schools are getting more popular day after day , therefore it's rare to c and advanced kyokushin karateka who has never fought in kickboxing format , lots of kyokushin dojos are incorporating some kickboxing in their training to complete that small missing piece in kyokushin ( facial hand strikes ) , for instance , we have a kumite training session on Sundays were we allow hand strikes to the head and grappling ( we wear MMA gloves ) .
