what do you think about Kyokushin karate

Fair enough, but practicing something in the gym and actually using in a competition are two different things.

If you can do it in a competition, thats the ultimate test for your technique. Now, Kyokushin may in fact teach strikes to the face, but I (and many others) still hold Muay Thai in higher respect if not for punches to the face, then for the clinchwork, knee, and elbows taught.

I totally agree , in fact Sosai Oyama himself agrees .

As what Venrix allready mentioned , Competition is way more differant then street fight

Now, Kyokushin may in fact teach strikes to the face, but I (and many others) still hold Muay Thai in higher respect if not for punches to the face, then for the clinchwork, knee, and elbows taught.

clinchwork , knees and elbows are all ALLOWED and ESSENTIAL in kyokushin

In Finland there is a club that trains Shiai Kyokushin, same as the original kyokushin but they use K-1 rules when sparring full contact. Of course they have also "dojofight" rules for those who dont want to get their face smashed :D I have never tested shiai kyokushin but it sounds pretty effective.

Well, lets discuss here.

What do we think the striking differences are between a cage fight and a street fight that makes competition and street fighting on such different levels?

I personally practice Shinkyokushin Karate. It's sort of a "new" type of Kyokushin Karate. Like Kyokushin, it's mainly combat oriented; almost 90% of what we learn is to be used for combat in real life situations. The traditional stuff is mostly removed.

I haven't practiced any other form of Karate, so I can't compare with others.

So its agreed that rules are the big difference between a street fight and a cage fight.

The often most argued rules are biting and eye gouging, so lets address those first- do you think they would play a critical role in the determination of a winner of a fight?
