Takezo

Any clubs in Bakersfield? Im gonna b in Cali for a weeks or two, i wanna c how they train.

nah that Seido. Tottaly different from Seidokan (off-shoot of Kyokushin).

check out the 1 on green lanes.

7th kyu, kyokushin, practicing pinan sono san.

Thats up in the mountains though. I dont think they train like that in modern countrys.

Is that real?

Learn from the throws, sweeps and kicks. Analise the kumite afterwards. Try to take in as much information as u can during, but dont let it distract you from the fight.

thanx, im gonna check out the ones in Cambridge Road. Its closer to me. Also found http://www.sskyokushin.com/

errm . . . fight back. Com at them with a baseball bat. break their legs. but b ready for any reprisals (sp?).

Any Kyokushin practitioners from London? Hows your club? How do you train? Where are you located?

Anyone got any info on SeidoKaiKan in London? I havent found anything yet.

y wud u want a heayer gi? Im trying to get the lightest 1.

keep doing it you'll get better

Takezo, I wouldn't worry about the Shotokan guys much if its Kyokushin rules. If any of them are JKA fighters they would be kicked out of the organization if Mr. Okazaki caught word of it. So they are totally out of their game. Your biggest competition in my opinion would be the kickboxers. However they tend to not be well trained. Most of them tend to be very amatuer. If there are any Dai do Juku guys they could be dangerous as well, but those are far and few between in the states. Kung Fu guys tend to be very flashy but have no real striking power. Lastly, the TKD guys. They are usually fast, and will throw kicks to the head a lot, but they tend to want to strike then back away. They train to do this because of the typical rules that they train with. I use to do lots of competitions when I was stationed in Korea, and at the time I was Shotokan. I never had any problems with them. They would come in and strike fast, but if you got a good Gyaku Zuki you could nail them nearly everytime. Good luck with your competition. I'm sure you will do fine. Tomo Osu! Tomo Thanks for the information. I actualy must of read your other post about Saishu. Is that similar to Kyokushin? It seems to be more brute. Also can it be found in London? Osu!

The most suitable thing for that are repetitions of your techniques and kata. Practice it everyday. Remember some combinations from training and do them at home. For the 1st month do them a 100 times on each side. For the 2nd go to 250 or 300. Dedicated your self to it and your bound to carry out actions as if it were reflex.

i look to the chest. i dont focus on a detail. i cant describe it but its like my eyes see everything.

well, no. my instructor is a shihan (above sensei) so theres no room for complaints or disagreements. specialy during training. If im not sure about a move i just ask how it works and be like "ohh ok, so what if . . . ". Ask, dont disagree.

tell him to leave u alone or u gonna youll hurt him. if he dosent leave you alone then . . . hurt him.

Thanks for all the feedback. White Warlock i totaly agree in gaining confidence in knowing the rules. and to FORCE the opponent into the defencive? im gonna b pondering on that one tomorrow at work. shogeri, the tapping into the WIN part of the brain sounds nice. I'll ponder on it more. y2_sub. Its Kyokushin rules. Ive got strong punches, but what i want to know is are the shotokan peoples conditioned on their upper body? Low stances? im thinking of sweeps. but gedan mawashi geri to the inside sounds nice aswel. High guards? im thinking of knocking their ribs. I forgot to mention taikwondo guys. I know they r good with their legs but are they powerfull? everyone makes them sound like jokes but im not going to underestimate them. O S U !

yeah i know that 1. really good for the legs. it also improves your technical perception believe it or not.

OSU! Im a 2nd blue in kyokushin and im about to take part in an open competition against kick boxers, kung fu ppls and shotokan fighters. What should I watch out for? Kick boxing and Shotokan is kind of similar to kyokushin, or at least kind of understandable. But kung fu? what should i expect from them?

OSU! 2nd Blue (7th Kyu) in Kyokushin. My belts starting to look white though.

Try kyokushin. Its a step-up from kickboxing.
