The Kyokushin punisher Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 My 2 CentsIn Royamas group they allow punchs to the head but they wear gloves. I think its still in the testing stages Royama brought up a good point beacuse the current Kyokushin (IKO1) dont allow punchs to the face...anyways back to what Royamas said that on the street u cannot hesitate to punch to the face which is true.I really hope IKO1 adpots this as well..In the old days of Kyokushin u had to protect the head and groin. thats why if u watch some kyokushin katas the movement in them is that they protect the groin. I hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupus yonderboy Posted March 4, 2008 Author Share Posted March 4, 2008 Hm. I didn't now about those offshoots.I think punching to the face makes kyokushin more useful in live situations.However, they need to wear gloves to protect their hands. Broken hands = not trianing.

Throwdown0850 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I have looked at a lot of videos on Kyokushin and I noticed they do this hand movement thing right after knocking the opponent down? whats that about?

Dobbersky Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Throwdown,I hope I can answer correctly, as I am an Ashihara Karate fighter not Kyokushin fighter. Although I do honourably acknowledge the Kyokushin roots of Ashihara karate.The hand movement is a gesture of a finishing technique namely Gyaku Tzuki if I am guessing correctly as to which hand movement you mean.Osu "Challenge is a Dragon with a Gift in its mouth....Tame the Dragon and the Gift is Yours....."

Dobbersky Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Found this on YouTube You may have to open youtube then seach under HanroquemSensei, Sempai, KohaiI've viewed it but I am not to keen on children below the age on 14 taking part in a full contact Competions. I can understand they're all padded up. I am Ashihara based but I Only allow touch sparing for my kids and young adults. Once they're 18 then thats theirs to decide.None the less I can see them becoming Excellent Champions in say 12-15 years timeOsu "Challenge is a Dragon with a Gift in its mouth....Tame the Dragon and the Gift is Yours....."

bushido_man96 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I am not so sure it is good for kids to get knocked out like that, though. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace2021 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Osu!Been doing Kyokushin for a few years. We punch to the head when we wear gloves, but in tournaments we go no gloves and body shots only. A New Age Dawns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
