Tenshin is a beast. But he seems to be fighting weak cards. It's all child play for him right now. I want to see him go against someone who really knows what they are doing. Where are the good strikers? The Karate guys? Catch Wrestlers? Judokas? He hasn't really fought anyone with a good...

Still don't understand why he did that. A full knee kick to the face like wtf....and Yamaki is a pretty humble guy too...

So with an ever growing attack on grains and wheat, its difficult to make out what's "good" and "bad"...just so much conflicting information. Oats, pasta, rice, bread (not as much) have been a staple in my diet. Its just easier to get that caloric surplus to support my training and they're...

Agreed, Nieky has more of a defensive style that lets him to steadily apply pressure.

Norichika is awesome. There's a video of him though getting Ko'd in a sparring session via knee to the face by Kenji Yamaki. He's been trained by some legends, wouldn't expect anything less of him. The kick might not seem that strong but he's shown to break bats with it at demos, and...

Nieky Holzken-Good pressure fighter Masato-Awesome boxing skills Raymond Daniels-Fancy kicks Andy Hug-Kyokushin fighter and the axe kick Mirco Cro Cop-Right leg hospital, left leg cemetery Buakaw-Insanely powerful kicks and good use of teep, keeps it simple and warrior spirit

That's true, a lot of kihon that we learn is not applicable in sparring. I guess you're right in some sense, to keep Kyokushin separate from Kudo, but if so many Kyokushinkai want to spar under kickboxing or go pro in K-1 etc. The curriculum should have added training face punches on pads or...

From my experience I think Muay Thai serves as a better foundation. I enjoyed my time in Kyokushin, but the lack of head punches was a big problem for me when we would spar with kickboxers. Not to mention your sternum won't be too pleased with the constant torso punches. It's also easy to get...

Man he's just too fast

I'm more of a realist. Always stuck to my guns, BJJ, Wrestling, sub. grappling, Muay Thai etc. But for whatever reason i was thinking about giving the classic arts a try, just 1 day a week maybe for the hell of it. I don't know too much about them, but at least like how some teach those...

True, there are quite a few to list as many fighters seem to have dabbled in TKD at some point.

I agree to a certain extent....some of my thoughts from doing both Kyokushin & Muay Thai: -Yes Kyokushin's weakness is the face punches -Yes you will be in some serious trouble fighting a boxer/MT/KB BUT...if you are an average joe, recreational guy -The risk of injury to the head/face is...

Hassan Kassrioui, probably the best TKD kickboxer i've ever seen. Ignacio "El Misil" Capllonch Raymond Daniels claims his background is in sport Karate/point sparring, but his signature side-to-back kick is very taekwondo like, even his spinning hook kick oddly enough, i'm guessing he must...

I've been training in Kyokushin for some time now after switching from Taekwondo. I respect all styles, but getting my ass whopped in Karate really taught me that even as a recreational guy if you wanna hold your own, you need to train with some full contact. Prior to KK i didn't even know how...

K-1: Andy Hug, Crocop, Buakaw, Masato, Mike Zambidis MMA: Yoshihiro Akiyama, Luke Rockhold, Karo Parysian, Adam Khaliev, Uriah Hall, Andrews Nakahara, Sakuraba Karate: Shokei Matsui Boxing: Mayweather

Thanks, the best fighter i can think of that's a master at using this method is Hajime Kazumi especially in his fight against Gary O'Neill, he fought hard and smart against Gary's impressive kicks. Piotr Sawicki vs Gary O'Neill was like fighting against a mirror, Piotr matched Gary kick for...

it depends on the rule set of the tournament but yeah i think so but you can catch only for a sudden moment

Ok thanks, yeah i keep my macros within my total caloric intake.

Lately i've taken a liking to more fats like avocado, seeds and nuts, fish, coconut oil etc. and it adds up to anywhere from 90-110 ish grams. I just enjoy it more and feel that fatty foods have more nutritious benefits to offer compared to grains. What are the long term implications of this...

Haha you sound exactly like me. The irony is i'm quite introverted/kept to myself. My team mates were stunned to see me go "berserk" when i had my fight. I honestly had no idea i could even be that chaotic on the matts. Whatever combinations and prep strategies i had went out the window, along...
