Dobbersky Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 The One thing I don't like about some Kyokushin Karateka, they are so Kyokushin, they don't acknowledge its syblings Ashihara Karate and Enshin, Karate, although I must say there is a presence on Kyokushin4Life forum, who some are posters on both.When I post I mention Knockdown Karate and specify Kyokushin, Ashihara, Enshin and Daido Juku, but come on Kyokushin Karateka why do you not do the same?It depends on whatever we're talking about. I honestly don't see this as an issue, as the knockdown community is quite small so we all have to band together as much as we can.Exactly, we need to band together so how do we acknowledge all types of Knockdown Karate? Do we give it a generic label "Knock Down Karate" or do we all "fall" under the umbrella of "Kyokoushin" regardless of style within the knockdown community "Challenge is a Dragon with a Gift in its mouth....Tame the Dragon and the Gift is Yours....."

Kuma Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 Since we all spar knockdown, knockdown karate would probably be the best.
evergrey Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 Well I'm a member of a knockdown fighters forum, and k4l welcomes all related styles also. I am happy to play with my knockdown brothers and sisters. I still only can represent myself, and by extension to a degree my style... but certainly when someone has asked for advice about a style and they mention that they want to do an alive karate with serious contact and practicality, I'll suggest Kyokushin or one of it's relatives, including Enshin and Ashihara, or anything related. But I'll also tell them that I'm biased, haha! http://kyokushinchick.blogspot.com/"If you can fatally judo-chop a bull, you can sit however you want." -MasterPain, on why Mas Oyama had Kyokushin karateka sit in seiza with their clenched fists on their thighs.
pinoy_1 Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 I'll try this style after a year, you should be fit a hell to join kyokushin.

Dobbersky Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 too hard for my taste.Not everything can be resolved with a fist, imho.Strange, as I know many Shito Ryu Dojos who spar just as hard as many Kyokushin/Knock-Down Karate Dojos "Challenge is a Dragon with a Gift in its mouth....Tame the Dragon and the Gift is Yours....."
