The thing people don’t realize there are sooo many styles of karate, but what your seeing here is Full contact Kyokushin Karate, also known as the strongest karate. Regular karate doesn’t compare when it comes to bare knuckle brutality and knock out power and intention.
@@Kzany42 you realize that taekwondo has the same punches as karate but do it becoming an Olympic sports they changed the rules where they mainly or morso use kicks so it wouldn't look like karate ,
Interestingly, Andy Hug (the fighter from 2:38 onwards) also was the martial arts supervisor for Street Fighter 2 the animated movie. His name is in the credits.
@@frank6401 as a sport it is not deadly be cause you must fight with in the rules when you are in cage. The referee will stop the fight before your opponent die when you rear naked choke your opponent. The referee will stop you before you break your opponents joints and bones. The ref will warn you every time to poke the eye, strike the groin, strike the throat, strike the back of the head, neck and spine. But in the street an mma fighter can use all the martial art he learned and use it to depend himself and kill if he want.
@@brucele2776 why do you think only mma is deadly in street fight? Based on you resumption watching too much mma? MMA is new it s just mixed of here and there like salad. In the ring a judoka , a wrestler only with his own style without striking has beaten mma fighter , so it s all relative, too much mixture of style can backfired.

i like how the last segment was dedicated to andy. the first segment shows you how talented these people were the second segment show how easy andy beat these guys.
I can agree with that. I competed pretty regularly and I remember in the mid 90s karate was something to marvel at. Most youths were on my level (I boxed and did Chinese Boxing) when it came to skill and prowess. I was at a tournament in '02 and just thought to myself: what the hell happened?! Black belt used to mean something. Now, a "dojo" could sell a 4 year program and say "ok you're a black belt." I used to spar with this kid, his instructor stopped caring about giving belts out when they were all on that cusp of black. He would say to them, "if you want one so bad go buy it." He was old school like my shifu, I respected this kid and his sensei. To them it wasn't about a belt or a title, it was about teaching something that could save your life or make you a better person. Thanks to social media, I have reconnected with him. These lessons we were taught, they've stuck with us our whole lives. Please excuse my paragraph hahaha
As usual, you are distinguished in all the topics you present. Your channel is very distinguished and is an important and great reference for martial arts, especially for your important meetings with martial arts experts.
Luckily, there’s not that many McDojos here in Europe and most Karateka I know can at least do realistic sparring and point based Kumite, but full contact fighting like kyokushin, Seidokaikan etc is something else. Those fighters would destroy me for sure, and I have a third degree brown belt.
When I was a child i Remember this was Wath karate was in my mind. Thank's God, now with the new rise of kyokushinkay and karate Kombat the style has retake the right Place in the fight world! Osū
One thing I’ve noticed with knockdown style fighting..these days fighters seem to stand in the pocket, punching and kicking the crap out of each other until someone falls. 20-30 years ago the fighters seem to have more space between each other, there was more footwork, more tactical fights, not to mention being more spectator friendly to watch. I’m asking myself the question, would Andy Hug or Glaube Feitosa have been able to use their signature kicks so liberally today if they didn’t have the space whilst fighting toe to toe. It’s questionable..
You do still see some amazing kickers in the MMA, but the MMA rules allow for submission techniques at close range - these options discourage ranged kicking. If the rules are setup for kickboxing, then yes Hug, Van Damme or Chuck Norris would still do very well.
Crazy part is they don’t HAVE to do that but yet they still stay in pocket. I don’t understand, every time I see a match I say to myself “dude just back up a little bit and throw a spinning hook and watch him fall”
I did Taekwondo and found it to be an incomplete art, however coupled with boxing or kickboxing(my base) it is really great for foot work, distance and of course kicks
Nesta época as lutas eram FODAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tem ideia porque hj em dia nao volta assim os campeonatos de karate? A arte não perde restringindo tanto assim as regras?
I caught the last of the Northwestern Karate Association tournaments back in the 90s when I was 15. They shut them down right after that. I got to compete in the 14 to 17 age bracket. We didn't wear pads or anything like they do in modern Olympic events and whatnot. I actually had my age brackets record for most boards broken.
man 2:00 perfecty exectuted/timed spinning hooking kick a powerful one to the head going straight through knocking him out still in combat stance. damn. fast too.
This is why today we have sportive karate. Who say that this is cool understand nothing and probably don’t know all the damages they get. Nowadays, thanks to WKF karate, we have great fighters able to preserve themselves, being always effective in fights, in the ring and outside .
Your highlights are very cool , I even used your Pat Smith video to create a accurate version in a wrestling game. Have you ever considering moving to grappling and MMA highlights? I think you'd be very good at them
This is easily one of the best videos on karate ever
Never gets old.

Love that they kept knees in. Karate today is so watered down outside of Karate Combat.
taekwondo should have an event like karate combat
Yeah just like music, sports, and entertainment.
@@Kzany42 yes they should!!
Kyokushin karate still uses knees

R.I.P. Andy Hug. One of the greatest kyokushin fighters ever.
He is the why I started taekwondo and kickboxing
That axe kick
@@LongDongjhonson he was just splitting people in half with that
I'm disappointed that we never got to see him step in the octagon
Now that I think about it that he would of crushed it in that newer karate combat thing
Greco is a beast and Hug a marvel to watch. Kyokushin is a truly realistic and brutal art.
Andy Hug one of the best Karatekas! Rest In Peace ✝️
The song is "Lasers or Bombs" by Straplocked in case anyone cares.
Is not, but that song is good
No,this is adrenaline rush
@@ferdinandocasadio yeah that's the 80s comp I'm sorry
u right that's the 80s comp I'm sorry

Love that the music and the editing of the video makes Andy Hug feel like the Final Boss of this video.
As he should.

Holy moly... that Andy part! Great editing!
I was about to say the same thing 😂 damn that moment got me… 😮
This is way better than MMA in my opinion. The ART is still there!
MMA is restricted fighting sport- not really a street fight
@@Me-zx7kkrestricted as a sport but deadly on the street.

RIP Andy Hug. Master of the Axe kick...
I said it once before and I'll say it again you have the Best videos... This was great
Nice quick strikes with their kicks.
It really showed how accurate they were in moments of opportunity.
Great martial arts
So many knockouts! Great vid thanks 🙏🏼
Dude this collection of ol school Mother Kickers ! Is above fresh.
Great job. U really show case Thee Greats
At 0:37 / 0:38 was that teeth coming out of the fighter's mouth ?!?
This video is absolutely perfect. A lot of thought has gone into this, and it shows. Arigato!!!
Andy Hug; The Final Boss
Today someone tells you He has a black belt in karate you think bullshido. Back then you knew he was a legit fighter.
Well it up to the style i know guys holding black belts in kyokushin,ashira and shidokan and they are legit.
Frauds and soccer moms ruined it. They'll do the same for MMA and BJJ.
Luckily, there’s not that many McDojos here in Europe and most Karateka I know can at least do realistic sparring and point based Kumite, but full contact fighting like kyokushin, Seidokaikan etc is something else. Those fighters would destroy me for sure, and I have a third degree brown belt.
Kudo too@@atshabal
@@XXNerdzillaXXtrue
great video when it shows how the warriors of the ring are aware of the possibility of injury or even death as a result of the fight
Andi what a warrior he was
I love how at 3:30 the ref is rubbing the guys head like he’s a little kid who bonked their head on a table. 😂
When I was a child i Remember this was Wath karate was in my mind. Thank's God, now with the new rise of kyokushinkay and karate Kombat the style has retake the right Place in the fight world! Osū
1:42 looks like something out of Blood sport.
Yes 🤣🤣🤣
He was going to put salt in his pants the next round
The Muythia guy chuckle that was my thought to. Think his name was rico nm its Paco
@@Desh681 lol
This is way more fun to watch than Bjj or mma at this point. I wonder if these are all Kyokushin fighters.
Kyokushin, Enshin and Ashihara. Brother arts, really.
This is why every kid in the 80s wanted to be a ninja
Andy Hug 😎
The best
Good to see throws and takedowns.

You could its just less efficient to train people to do that.
Was much better talent and more realistic before. Now all real fighters go mma or muay thai didnt have those options before
Wouldn't get away with the ax kicks as much.

Never stop fighting

It was like this, but not anymore.

I can see why it was popular in the 90s and way less now

@@leroilapue15 I think you are right.
@@leroilapue15Yeah. Taekwondo kicks, crosstrained with boxing and some muay leg kick notions is a great set of skills.

Guy with blood was cold 🥶🥶🥶
Andy hug era. Sadly this is all just kyokushin karate as the rest of the styles didn't really allow contact
BRUTAL 😳
Kyoku, Enshin and Ashihara.
not really true. It was dependent on schools; I did karate based on shotokan, but it was full contact all the way, with no katas, just fighting.
@THE MARTIAL ARTS CHANNEL I can already tell ur a liar🗿
@busyrightnow7259 LOL. how is that bullshit, did you live my life
Жёсткие ребята. Мне нравится, что никто не добивает упавшего противника, как в MMA.
