That would be nice , list them . 35 katas is WAY too much

Every time I talk to a practitioner from other style he/she asks the same question , why hand strikes to the head are not allowed in kyokushin ? Well , Oyama Sosai's philosophy was that a karate practitioner should not wear any protective gear in order to make the fight closer to real situation , in the first days of kyokushin bare knuckle hand strikes to the head were legal but regarding the high number of injuries among fighters they where disallowed . A kyokushin practitioner who trains for tournaments only will probably have troubles dealing with facial hand strikes .

It has been modified , you can c that the wind is moving tree branches faster when the hand strikes start .

there is also that system originated in Egypth , I think it's called "the spirit of the nile" or "the spirit of the crocodile" , not really sure but some historians clame that greeko roman wrestling & western boxing where evolved from that egyptian system

I know that this question has been answered by Meguro & saishu (thx guys) but I'll add something : being in the ring with them in many occasions , the only thing I could say is that they are not conditioned as kyokushin fighters are ,for instance it took me ONE punch to knock down a TKD black belt while I wasn't able to take a 1rst kyu kyokushin off balance till the third round (that was in the same tournament) , shotokan guys where vulnerable to knee kicks and gedan mawashi geri , & I have noticed that in every fight when they take a hard hit , they expected me to stop or to back off , in the 4 open style tournaments that I have been in , kyokushin ,muay thai and sometimes kickboxing practitioners where always placed in the first three places , makes me wonder why . I know that people are going to say , this is only ur own experience or the guys you have been in the ring with are not true TKD-shotokan-KF , or they where trained in a mcdojo etc..... If this is the case then no one is training in a real dojo anymore

Agreed Daidu juku guys are amazing , pure brutality If it's kyokushin rules , then u have nothing to worry about , shotokan , kung fu and TKd practioners - even KB guys - are not as conditioned to take hard strikes as kyokushin karateka , just do what you have learned in the dojo , and stay away of flashy kicks .

Many

Probably MMA gloves , by the way are hand strikes to the head allowed ?? And do u guys sponsore randori kumite tournaments ??

What are the competition rules ? Are they similar to kyokushin or kickboxing ? Either ways I assume it's going to be full contact which will give u advantage over shotokan and probably kung fu , I've been in similar competitions in the past , the only thing you need is to trust yourself , never hesitate , never take your strikes back , always be on the offense . From my experience in previous open tournaments , most kung fu practitioners used low stances , knee them in the face if they do so . Gedan mawashi geri to the inside tight is very useful against both shotokan and kung fu practitioners since they are not used to it , also if the KB guys where from an American kickboxing school , use ur low kicks elbows and knees . kickboxing guard is a little bit higher than kyokushin guard so you may want to target their ribs and stomach with ur hand strikes (shita tsuki) . Good luck

So what are ur impressions about it ?

It's all about commerce

3rd kyu ??????? That was long time ago that I even forgot what this degree actually is

I checked out the website , saishu ryu sounds interesting although kumite rules are similar to those of WKF .

Well yeah , we took all the first places last tournament , one of my students won over a black belt who ways 10 kilos more than him

Well , it's mostly a defensive style , but from what I remember we also learned some offensive moves , we learned some chokeholds , arm locks and throws . I personally think that you can use most of Aikido’s defensive moves in an offensive way

PLease tell me that you are just kidding

white , orange , blue , yellow , green , brown , black

When did they introduced the belt system to Muai Thai

I voted for impossible to determine , but deep inside my mind I knew that a seasoned street fighter would mostly win against a MA without any street experience (Kata only type)

spare with a boxer to get used to hand strikes to the head , if it's the first time you fight a boxer , then , man you'd be surprised of what a facial strike can do to you , if his main style is boxing use your low kicks , if his main style is BJJ , try to knee or kick him to the head when he attempts a takedown , either ways keep up the distance & I am sorry to say that but I bet he has more live experience than you do & warlocks advice of finger breaking is very useful , also try to wrack or punch his eyes to blind him . You can always cheat , kick to the groin followed by a solid punch and then pretend that you didn't do it on purpose .

Thx for the explanation . I think competition is the sports aspect of karate , but it varies from one karate style to another , in some styles -mostly kyokushin and it's offshoots - competition is full contact because they cnsider it more realistic , in other styles it's light to semi contact for safty purposes , either ways none of them reflects exactly real fights . By the way , there is a kyokushin offshoot called daidu juku , it's rules are more like street fighting , pure brutality .

When he starts dating , lol .. Beside Goju_man would be an ugly name

Whats "comp" ?
