cross Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 There are a few guys and gals on the forum that practice kyokushin, im sure they will introduce themselves shortly. Until then, here is a site that will give you an overview of the style, plus alot more links for you to take a look at:http://www.answers.com/topic/kyokushin

Shokei Marcsui Posted May 6, 2006 Posted May 6, 2006 What makes kyokushin so different from other karates? I just wanted to know.OSU!I have background in shotokan karate and kyokushin kumite would be the difference between the two. The obvious difference would be point sparring vs. full contact. Instead of lightly tapping your opponent to score a point, you can score points with knock downs. - Endurance- Strength- PowerIchi geki, Hissatsu or "One strike, certain death". Instead of stopping the fight after your opponent lightly taps you on the chest to score the point, you can instead move through that kick (if you are strong enough) and initiate your own combo on him. I would say that kyokushin is closer to Muy Thai in conditioning and shotokan in basics with more emphasis on the former than the latter.I hope that this is helpful and when in doubt, visit your nearest dojo and talk to the instructor Ichi Geki, Hissatsu one strike, certain death
patusai Posted May 6, 2006 Posted May 6, 2006 A bit off of the subject but from the link provided by Cross, I believe it was, their BB conference was in Banf AB Canada. One heck of a nice place. Very beautiful area, very calming. Excellent choice!!! Excellent!! "Don't tell me the sky's the limit because I have seen footprints on the moon!" -- Paul Brandt
