The Kyokushin punisher

Yanno All of it. It truley was a great event i will cherish... But i must say the Bo kata really stood out for me...I was going to ask our shihan if he could show me a bit of it but as it turned out we all got to do it!!! Made some good friends watched my sempi get his second Dan he did awesome and now i see all the hard trainining paid off. Osu!

One of the best times in my life had so much fun met some really cool people leard ALOT. I reccomend any kyokushin karateka to go our shihans are first class all the way i am truly greatful we have them. OSU!

Osu! extending a hello and any information on your style.

Yes i understand that but i think u are missing my point

This question is more for a Kyokushin member with a number of years under there belt. I wanna ask this question with out comming across being ungreatful or cocky that is not my intention, I thought id ask here before i ask my instructor. When we spar we are not allowed to hit to the face,groin,knees. The amount of time we spar we make sure no one aims for those parts beacuse we want everyone to be safe..So now are we trainning for the sport of it and where would the self defense in a sense come in if we are not allowed to his the vital areas? An example is this a guy i know of trainned JKD i think.... was in a bar fight and he was gonna punch a guy in the face but hesiated the guy saw it and took advanagte of it and the guy i know of was takin down in a matter of seconds... So how can we train so we dont hesistate if a fight should occur? Insight from anyone would help greatly from other styles i am intrested in how to overcome this. thanks

Osu sempi congrats.

I gave up my second job to train...im glad i did the money wasent that important. Great topic!

Right on congrats!

Well i got a nice kyokushin Tan all over my body but i love every inch of it and i wouldent give it back. Every test i go in thinking i will give it my all... my life... my last dying breath beacuse i honestly will die trying and my Sempi was very proud of me. Perserverance. OSU!

Osu! I just got my 4th Kyu (Green belt) After i got it i notice how much i have to work on to where i wanna be. This time next year i hope to be Second Kyu no wait i WILL be second kyu. I thank all of u that posted the good lucks. As a martial arts community i feel we have to help each other out to achive our goals. Osu!

My 2 cents. U can read about it hear about talk about it (Kyokushin) but to truly understand it's magnitude u have to train. I dunno for anyone else that trains but for me Kyokushin is a way of life for myself. Osu!

Osu I am testing for my 4th Kyu tonite (Green belt) and i have a brick with butterflys in my stomach. Anyone got any tips how to get rid of that feeling or lessin it? I Trained really hard and studied with all my heart and all i can do is my best so even if i dont pass i know i gave it my all. Anyone who reads this please say an Osu for me and other people testing! Thanks.

Osu Sensi Mark Sorry if my words dont come out as much as i want them too. I do understand i have a long way to go in Kyokushin. I guess what i meant to say was if a situation should arise i will have a better chance then a person that does not train in Martial arts. Im aware u can never be fully relaxed in a fight situation. I am sorry if i came across cocky or arrogant those were not my intentions. My words came out wrong in the explantaion of what i was tryin to say. -Osu

When i first started Kyokushin i thought it was pretty basic but more as i got in to it and learned more and found out it was full contact. I loved it even more not for the mere fact of that but if a situation should arise i will be relaxed enuff for combat. I know i can take a beating as well is give there fore i will be prepared. -Osu

Andy Hug ....wow his kicks were works of art.
