New Beginner Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 If you are part of Kyokushin then the first test of your skills would be to enter a knockdown tournament. Hitting pads and bags is one thing, but a real person won't stand there and let you just hit them with your best mawashi geri, they'll be trying to knock you out too. If you want to test other skills aside from specific knockdown rules, you can progress to MMA with the right training, but knockdown is a good place to start to test your reaction to confrontation and adrenaline, and to being hit hard, even though it is a controlled situation.

The Kyokushin punisher Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 I see what u are saying but i guess i am aim more towards a life on the line situation to see what i can do and what my abiltiys are... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbows_and_knees Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 experience is the best teacher. This is why I advocate all MA getting in the ring at least once. Until you use your training in real time against someone uncooperative (sparring is not the same) you will never really know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Beginner Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 No two 'real' fights are the same so it would be irelevant anyway. It would be morally wrong (in my opinion) to put yourself into a situation to specifically get into a fight if you are there specifically to see how well you can beat somebody up. The two worst case scenarios are that you could end up seriously hurting somebody and go to prison as well as ruin many peoples' lives, or end up dead yourself. Go in for a knockdown tournament, at least the person you will fight will be a trained athlete that has been training specifically to try and knock you out, not a random drunk or a thug that may well be armed anyway.
