MasterPain Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 That is quite amazing, and in my (nearly) 20 years of martial arts, I have never seen anything like this.The Mawashi geri to the ribs is not all too amazing, that is quite common conditioning in Kyokushin.The groin kicks, I must say, would hurt even when wearing a cup! I am with MasterPain on this one, I REFUSE to even put any time/energy into learning to take a groin shot!!!The throat punches are really what gets me. That is just insane! Ive seen people actually carried off on stretchers in Kyokushin tournaments from copping a punch to the neck.Respect-I learned to take the throat strikes when I was about 12. It's a matter of tension and breath. You can call it chi, ki, or unholy demonic spirits, so long as those things mean proper tension and breath. My fists bleed death. -Akuma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Th0mas Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 That video has been around for a few years.. I believe it is just for show/shock value great for demonstrations, just like board breaking etc..Personally I do not believe it has any intrinsic combat value.

bushido_man96 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I'm not sold on it, but those strikes look real. I'm with MP, though; not my cup of tea. I've seen this before, where a professional NFL punter kicked one of the guys in the groin. Ouch. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
