Gumbi Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 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.

y2_sub Posted May 5, 2005 Author Share Posted May 5, 2005 Fair enough, but practicing something in the gym and actually using in a competition are two different things. I totally agree , in fact Sosai Oyama himself agrees . If you can do it in a competition, thats the ultimate test for your technique. As what Venrix allready mentioned , Competition is way more differant then street fightNow, 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 Moon might shine upon the innocent and the guilty alike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenttiensankari Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 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 I have never tested shiai kyokushin but it sounds pretty effective.

Mr Pockets Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 Well, to be fair, even thai boxers don't spar going all out... if they sparred with fullcontact kicks, and elbows (!), they would get too beat up to recover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumbi Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zanejin Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gumbi Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 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?
