Karateka_latino Posted July 16, 2003 Posted July 16, 2003 I like K-1 matches.. i've seen a couple of them on ESPN. I haven't watched a PRIDE yet.
superfighter Posted July 16, 2003 Posted July 16, 2003 K-1 is just stand up fighting with no grappling allowed.
Kirves Posted July 16, 2003 Posted July 16, 2003 Oh, thanks. I haven't seen any Pride events so I didn't know they allow grappling.
Shotokan_Fighter Posted July 16, 2003 Posted July 16, 2003 i like K-1, but i havnt seen PRIDE "When I fight, I fight with my heart,and soul. My heart, and soul is Shotokan Karate."Shotokan_fighters creed"karate has to come natural in a fight, if you have to think about using karate in a fight, you will loose the fight"3rd kyu brown belt - shotokan karate
superfighter Posted July 17, 2003 Posted July 17, 2003 i don't really like K-1 that much, becasue there is no grappling i don't think the fights are realistic enough
TJS Posted July 17, 2003 Posted July 17, 2003 i don't really like K-1 that much, becasue there is no grappling i don't think the fights are realistic enough becasue there is no grappling i don't think the fights are realistic enough It gives an arena for people to test standup fighting skills...I also prefer MMA/NHB..but im suprised to hear this from TKD stlyist..TKD is notorious for teaching little or no grappling...and few admit that it is not realistic.
superfighter Posted July 17, 2003 Posted July 17, 2003 i learn grappling, so thats why, and i prefer to see fights that include both grappling and striking. on the whole its just more realistic
tofu Posted July 22, 2003 Posted July 22, 2003 K-1 is a fun sport to follow (sorry, but too much grappling makes me sleepy). In the US I’m beginning to think they try to find the slowest and most inactive K-1 fights of the year, then air them on ESPN 2. Hey does anyone out there follow the middleweight K-1 tournament? I find those fights the neatest but they don’t seem to get as much attention as the heavy guys do.
psychospaz Posted July 22, 2003 Posted July 22, 2003 Hmm, I prefer watching the HW guys. They have so much more power at their disposal, and I can relate to them better since I'm around that size. Also the next PRIDE card is stacked as hell and recommend everyone to watch it.
