  • Lyoto "The Dragon" Machida became MMA legend using Karate. But it didn't work at first. Because traditional Karate is designed for self-defense, not combat sports. So Lyoto made changes and became UFC champion! Learn more in this interview hosted by Karate Combat.

    Finally someone like Lyoto Machida Sensei spoke out what I felt as a Karate practitioner for many years. As much as I am old school and conservative in Karate to keep tradition, we need to be open minded to separate traditional from modern applications. Especially when it comes to fight sports (MMA cage fights, competitions) or even self defense situations. Thank you for the interview!

I understand that fencing needs to be points-based sports because you can't be killing/maiming your opponent on every match, but i think karate is not as deadly as sword fighting and shouldn't be restricted as much. Karate competitions can benefit from boxing/mma style rules just like in K1.

      @@sepg5084 but Machida also says karate isn’t just punching and kicking. Translation: that just would be kickboxing. K1 rules IS for kickboxing. Machida was a point-fighter. You train fighting IQ and uses more than just kicking and punching in a point-fighting competition. He uses his point point-fighting style in MMA. Because strength and body conditioning can be trained intensively later if you want to fight full contact, which was what he did. Any competition that bans groin attacks isn’t real.

    The one thing that I noticed when going from a traditional martial art to a competition is that the majority of what I learned was illegal in a tournament. When it comes to sport, most of what I learned was not to be used, rightfully so. My master always told me "Do not fight unless you don't have a choice" because he was not teaching me how to beat someone for points or something like that

      I have always viewed techniques and kata as boxes of LEGOS. When we first start learning Karate we get a little set of LEGOS and sensei gives us that little instruction pamphlet with the LEGOS that shows us how to build something. Then we learn kata and that is like getting a bigger box of LEGOS and with it, again we get this pamphlet of how everything fits together. Then we get shown Bunkai, and that is taking that pieces out of those set of LEGOS and showing us that hey you can also build this, this and this. What gets lost is the encouragement to take those LEGO bricks and add to them by learning other martial arts and by practicing kata and taking it apart and mixing and matching. I believe especially in terms of bunkai, that often it was meant to be an example to get your thinking and seeing that -hey here is one application of things you learned in the kata- there are more, but I'm going to show you a few to get you started. Here are your LEGOs(kata), here is what I built with those LEGOS(bunkai), your welcome to copy what I built, but you should also try to build something on your own.

      Well, there are some tactics in kata, like getting angles, for example, certain combinations, etc. But, just from repeating them kata after kata, again and again, they won't work, not in sparring, kumite, or real self defense situations. You have to take those ideas that exist in kata, and practice them under pressure in sparring or self defense like scenarios, modifiy them as required and practicing again under pressure, until you get the desired result. I thnik that's what Lyoto Machida did. From the other side, practicing kumite and bunkai will certainly improve your performance in competitive kata, as Rika Usami said she did!
      Even Gichin Funakoshi said that practicing kata is one thing, real fighting is another issue!

    When I learned Shotokan, I was taught that kata is a choreographed fight. We did some bunkai but nothing too deep. Later in life a good friend who’s a long time Wing Chun practitioner said “forms(kata) are a syllabus of techniques to be mastered independently, then combined with one another”, which is in line with what Mr. Machida said. It’s possible that this line of thinking would be beneficial to adopt into modern karate training in order to make its value more relevant in MMA.

It gives you the "tuning" of the techniques. But if you want to go for kumite, train kumite. You have to adapt your training to your goals, and not get stuck with a close-minded thinking.

    Take the fundementals of your style that work in MMA (or self-defense) and suppliment them with other styles to reduce blindspots. My father, a Uechi-ryu sensei, was fantastic at this. He also had experience with boxing and taught us boxing techniques/fundementals. As a teenager I started learning BJJ. He immediately had me teach him and the other students what I learned. I'd cringe when I'd see other senseis who stubbornly clung to the belief that there was nothing to learn outside of the system.

      Karate was never originally developed to work or be taught in isolation from other martial arts. The gaps in karate are obvious and it's partly the reason why there are so many different versions - people have tried to fill in the gaps whilst keeping it karate. If people can cross-train, judo/Japanese ju jitsu/aikido/etc would all be good accompaniments that retain that traditional-ness.

I couldn't agree more with Lyoto, if there is a good technique which is present in a Kata as well, I'd rather do that particular techniques 100 times than doing the whole Kata 100 times.

      You do not have a real understanding of kata, or karate. They are one and the same. There is no karate without kata. The kata is the blueprint. All the techniques are within the kata and they have to be taken apart and deciphered. At this point is where the techniques are applied in a classroom setting. Many of the techniques cannot be used in MMA, as they involve striking nerves and cavity of the body. Footwork, body shifting, and movements that are equivocally called "blocks" and "stances" are to be used in the same manner BJJ techniques are done. Problem is that most Dojo do not have this type of training. But some of us have been trained this way. The fact that you have not seen this type of Karate, does not negate its existence.
      There are other aspects of martial application that kata training develop, but will not be obvious to those without. But the one thing I want to make clear is that we practitioners of the Classical Okinawan Karate are always dissecting and extracting technique, to practice with our dojo family. Really - kata is the real sensei. It has all the arsenal you can ever need. But it is a Life Protection - Life Preservation Art. MMA cannot take advantage all that karate has to offer. MMA's ultimate application and goal is the win. Karate's goal is to preserve life.. to live.

    used to do traditional TKD (more similar to Karate) and from that experience I really think that Kata can help with things like balance, weight distribution and transfer, coordination and relaxation, in addition to being a good workout. But you shouldn't rely on it for pure techique or tactics.

    It does. Everything works if you use it for what it's meant for. Karate works against the average guy you have beef with on the street and you wanna quickly jab him in the throat or do a joint lock on them etc. If your gonna use it to sparr with some hulk of a bloke who trains hard-core muay thai/bjj/boxing then your gonna get put on your ass. Because karate wasn't designed for that.

    So basically Kata is useful with bunkai but it's not the be all end all, practicing the kihon is also very important, but most important after all of that is the Kumite since like Chinzo Machida said in a different interview Martial Arts without sparring is like learning a language without ever having a conversation with another person.

    Any style you bring into mma needs to be adjusted. Some more than others. Muay Thai needs to account for takedowns, for example. Wrestling needs to account for strike timing, clinch striking, and submissions. BJJ must account for ground n pound, no gi (for traditional gi bjjers), and striking on the feet. I think, in many situations, karate might have more to adjust, but it certainly isn't impossible and is normal for any style. At the same time it has its own benefits.
    Be different. Make sure to train your style's opposite (I.e. stand up styles training ground), and don't be afraid to be unique. Work hard, and if you don't make it to one of the big organizations, remember you've accomplished more than 99% of others.

    if you read in between the lines, he actually believes that Kata definitely works as the foundation of fighting, but the problem is its application. thats something that i always thought of in my own training. which is. i believe the fact of the matter is that, in kumite you need to develop the muscle for a specific move that you can use as a counter in a fight, and simply because that move is a part of a sequence in the kata, it would be a waste of time training the entire sequence when you want to master only one move, for one specific scenario. but it seems that this fact is lost on some traditionalist karate masters who are unwittingly or on purpose, ignoring the fact that the two can live in unison rather than choosing one over the other.
    and that is exactly what he started to explain in 4:08, and said the most important point here 4:32. Much Respect for Master Lyoto Machida. a true Martial Artist and one of the Greatest Fighters of all time !!!
