A pretty nice showcase of the Kyokushin skillset against somebody unfamiliar with the ruleset.
To be clear this is NOT meant as anything else than a short but impressive display of Kyokushin fighting skills and how debilitating it can be to deal with when you're not used to it.
Thanks for watching!

Where is fight?
This is why you learn takedowns,just in case you square up with a guy that moves like a Tekken caracter
I think the MMA guy might know takedowns and grappling techniques(or not)… But I guess he’s fighting under Kyokushin rules… hence no takedowns or grappling.. otherwise it’ll suck for the Kyokushin guy (unless he too knows how to grapple)
Lol
A whole style of Jin Kazama's trying to juggle you with kicks
@@kellenparker4783 There are throws and some basic grappling in some styles of karate. So if the grappler is inexperienced, a skilled karateka might still be able to escape.
In this fight, I think the biggest difference maker was experience. The MMA guy looked rattled after that onslaught, like he wasn't used to being attacked (even though those strikes were really controlled), but there was a BIG gap in both experience and skill level here. He started getting clubbered and didn't know what to do.
Even if the guy was allowed to do takedowns, I'm not convinced it would have helped him. He was getting smothered.
True, although to be fair, as some others have pointed out there are some takedowns in Karate, I know in Juko competitions basically all Judo techniques are legal, and Karate Combat is even allowing very limited ground and pound, which is very good, it might turn them into full-on ground fighters, but exposes them to enough grappling to develop some awareness of hips, underhooks etc. But yeah, that guy moves like Jin, and looks big too.
I love how light the kyokushin guy moves despite looking so heavy
Thats what I notice with kick martial arts - excellent light feet, balance and positioning
The other guy didn't even throw a punch.
Too busy running away and avoid getting hit!
Amazing.
@@ibastratepi you're obviously referring to east Asian martial arts when it comes to that aspect because there is nothing light when It comes to Muay Thai or lethwei
Kyokushin is a respectable version of Karate because it’s students are actually expected to do some sparring before being promoted, not just demonstrating good form in a choreographed presentation.
They also take belts away too if the instructors feel the students have neglected their training.
I'm not sure what karate styles you've seen, but every dojo that I've been to (Shotokan and Wado-ryu) requires kumité and self-defence during grading, plus participation in competition for prospective black belts. The first night of my 2nd Dan grading, they literally kept me going until complete exhaustion, switching between kata, pairs work, kumité and other things constantly. It turned out that they were testing my character too, to see if I would give up or keep pushing through the exhaustion.
All that said, Kyokushin looks brutally tough. If I ever find a dojo, I'm not assuming anything based on my experience, even if the sensei offers to start me at a higher grade. I'd start from the beginning, keep my mouth shut and do the work.
@@Cailus3542 there are plenty of karate schools, particularly in the USA, where even little kids age 7 or 8 are getting black belts. No way are those kids capable of real sparring, other than against other kids their own age. These are "all must win prizes" belts. And a lot of schools pretty much have a schedule, where students are put forward for belts based on how long they have been there.
@@Cailus3542 you know exactly which one's he's seen. the fact you're being obtuse to something so readily recognizable shows you know.
I used to train goju-ryu when I was a kid for 8 years, they didn't hand out belts at all, it took me almost 8 years of hard work to earn a green belt, I was 15 when I got it, by that time I had constitution of a construction worker, my school mates looked like kids while I was a manly man. We had kumite, kata, tameshiwari, all forms of physical training, endurance, cardio...there has been a fair amount of takedowns and throws like in Judo. I am 45 years old now, I can still do 50 pushups and 20 pull ups and compared to my mates I am in way better shape. Karate is good for the spirit, body and discipline. Any kind of martial art is.
How nimble he is, and how light and controlled those strikes! True master
I'm genuinely impressed. I talk smack on karate usually but those crescent kicks were actually super viable and almost worked as a set up for a question mark kick. 👏
@@Slycoop in a sport like bodybuilding athletes take their own pictures and they all look like they will win the competition until they compete on stage and you can see they weren't as big as the photos made them look out to be.
I've learnt (and I think many others) to not put to much emphasis on this dojo fighters. yes his feet where quick but fighters show more aggression and plan ahead. against this karate guy, you'd try to charge at him and take him to the floor. MMA shows what techniques work. not many are learning karate if any
@@percy9228 yea ofc this guy wouldn't last two seconds in MMA. But we know elements of it work (Wonderboy, MVP, ect)
I saw some clean techniques here. Give those techniques to a well rounded MMA fighter and he could actually make em work is what I'm saying.
@@Slycoop agreed but how long did it take to learn those techniques. how ingrained are they in his fighting style? will he be able to adapt, because I think its decades worth of training on just those leg kicks. his punch at the end was weak, I know he didn't try though.
also notice how smooth the kicks were, in MMA you barely got time to have that much freedom, how well does he do under pressure.
The man is extremely good, doesn't take much of a trained eye to pick up on that. And the MMA fighter was being very respectful as well.
Nah the MMA guy just sucked. He was flinching at his every move lol he's scared to spar
@@nobodyharder6575 Could be just not being used to the rules. Idk maybe his instinct is to close distance and clinch but its not allowed?
@@nobodyharder6575 this guy is a TH-camr who pick on mma one or two years ago, he wasn’t representing mma or challenge this guy, he was just trying to see different martial art and experience it, so yea, he’s not good but that’s not the point
Everything is allowed in Kyokushin as it is a bare knuckle, unless gloves are agreed upon like here for head contact, take down, choke, submission full contact karate. Only joint kicks/hits or anything to the spine is not allowed.
He did good for an island boy🎶🛶🏝️
The words here are Master and amateur. Big difference. Looks like the Master is in his own Dojo. If you have ever spar a true Master in kyukoshin you will never forget it. Especially a challenge in front of his students. I would like to see how well the mma guy would do in a no rules match though
Not well against this Master, I think it is clear. The master is really taking it very easy on the guy.
Karate Had The Choping Hand to Chop People head when they try to tackle not even Use Elbow and Knee at all (No Rule)
@Frederic Rikam A serious Japanese-style karateka from any school (old school training) of similar ability and experience to an mma fighter would be a good challenge.
I started martial arts in 1972 and got a first-degree in Isshinryu karate and then a seventh degree in Taekwondo plus kickboxing and other martial arts training. I wish when I started I knew about kyokushin karate. That just puts it all together.
Against a dude with wrestling Experience they would get pickup up slammed taken to side control or mount and then beaten up.
I met the kyokushin guy during a kyokushin training seminar in the Philippines last december 18,2022. He’s actually a shihan on the taiwan branch, a really kind guy and a fun guy to be with. He does mma as well with kyokushin as his foundation. Really skilled fighter with a humble attitude. Great teacher as well
Is he from Japan or Taiwan
He's a solid unit
@@jimihendrixx11 Taiwan
holy shit, as someone who has trained in BJJ and MT, this dude is legitimately scary. Just goes to show traditional martial arts still has a lot of merit.
What is his name?
Question: What is with the sudden animosity toward Karate in these comments? Last I checked, Karate (and Kyokushin in particular) was widely respected in the MMA and kickboxing communities. Kyokushin (with cross training of course) has produced numerous top-notch strikers, including the likes of GSP, Bas Rutten and Raymond Dekkers. Expanding to Karate generally, you can include Lyoto Machida (Shotokan), Stephen Thompson (Kempo) and Michelle Waterson (Karate style unknown by me, maybe someone in the comments knows).
They're good at kicks. No one is pretending they have it all, but if you want powerful, dynamic highly accurate kicks, cross train some karate (or TKD for that matter). Kyokushin will get you really great at landing head kicks. You may be vulnerable to head punches, but boxers are vulnerable to leg kicks, and wrestlers are vulnerable to choke holds. Just cross train, you will be fine.
As someone who cross trains BJJ, Muay Thai, Judo, And Taekwondo I wholeheartedly agree with this statement! Keep training man 🤙
connor mgregors style is also heavily karate based
The sudden animosity towards Karate comes from the "the thing I like lost, so I feel personally attacked and need to retaliate" mentality. Pretty common around the internet :v
Great comment and very true i know world champion in Kickboxing who started as a kid in Kyokushin. Kyokushin helped mu a lot with bulding core muscles, stamina, precision and this beast mental - never give up/surrender. We should respect all martials arts, Budo (center) is one
Keyboard warriors...
People look at UFC, and say ''only Lyoto Machida from Karate was a top fighter.''
However the K-1, which was the world's greatest strikers, many Karate fighters did well in it (almost all from Kyokushin), that were more celebrated fighters than Lyoto Machida. Andy Hug (1 time) and Semmy Schilt (4 times) are former K-1 World champs, Francisco Filho was arguably the most feared fighter in K-1 when he first came in, Sam Greco, Ewerton Teixeira, just to name a few.
I agree that point scoring based Karate, and their techniques are questionable, as highly effective martial arts.
Kyokushin Karate though, which is full contact, and power based techniques is on a different level though, and that's been proven in the K-1.
Bas Rutten too
The Kyokushin guy in this clip uses no power. He could have ended this fight in seconds if he wanted to. So he shows the right Kyokushin spirit. (I am a second Dan myself) Osu!
you still need to take boxing classes if you want to make Kyokushin work in a real fight, Kyokushin has curved punches, but it creates a blind spot on the head, because you learn not to care about protecting your head.... boxing will fix that.
there are limited takedowns and no grappling in Karate, so you'll still need a grappling martial art too.
Συμφωνώ απόλυτα ωστόσο χρειάζεται και πυγμαχία φίλε μου μαζί με το kyokushin για να θεωρείται πλήρες το striking.
@@majimamike4097I do Okinawan and boxing
I love how he was smiling the entire time. Full control of those exchanges!
Damn honestly even amongst other Kyokushin I've seen, this guy stands out.. his personal style is just unique somehow
His opponent didn't throw any offense.
I am not one to knock karate, with Kyokushin being a favorite, but... This really felt self-aggrandizing
actually if one watches the entire episode with eng sub, they would know that guy in blue is just having fun letting the master do his thing, guy in blue has some good exp in sparring actually but he's mainly focused on conditioning
He can't throw any offense because the Master is not letting him. Use your common sense bro jesus.
Because this is bs. They pulled this bum off the street.
Throwing those flashy kicks with your hands down is hilarious.
yeah they sure meant amateur
I was fortunate enough to attend a weekend seminar with Mas Oyama and some of his instructors in the 60s, in Chicago. One thing not mentioned, is the emphasis he placed on physical fitness, strength training and endurance exercises....much of the seminar was gut wrenching ...
Little emphasis was on technique ....I was glad when it was over...lol
That is so true with Kyokushin. Even now, 60 years latter there is a big focus on physical fitness, and in going for my 7th kyu in a few weeks one of thr items that crops up is improved fitness.
When I graded to 8, in the following class, I was getting winded doing Kata, and was up to 8 in a role, my master chewed me out. Being swinging, biking and gaming on top of training 2-3 times a week just to get ready.
@@rtyler1869 , the one thing that sticks in my mind, about that weekend, was having to stand on our heads against a wall (no hands), while the instructors walked around slapping our stomachs...seemed like forever....lol...it was an unconventional experience as my school was a traditional Mu Duk Kwan TKD place. However, the dojang owner, was a very influential man in the Chicago MA community in the 60s , and had some relationship to Mr. Oyama...his name was Mr Shin.
My instructor ( not the owner) invited some of us to join in...I dont think any of them spoke english. It was a very special experience in my martial arts journey...🙂
@@mackthnife3 ouch.
The last time I trained in Karate was Wado Ryu back in the early 90’s. did not get very far into the style.
Spent about 6 months training and early on, the style grand master came out from Okinawa, and the Dojo owner who was a Sandan had us do something like 90 push Ups and 300 sit ups on the trot.
Here is me unfit 21 yo going at it and dying in the back of the class.
Fitness is very big in Karate. Just some styles like Kyokushin take it to thur extreme. And we are all the better for it.
@@rtyler1869 I bet...it was intense....I was 15 years old...lol
If you like old school karate stories, I did a series on Count Dante and the Chicago Dojo Wars....I was a young shodan at the time of that debacle and training in Chitown...feel free to check them out......nice chatting🙂
Combatte da solo l altro non reagisce
Very well done sir. Your awareness and decision making about your kicks is phenomenal.
Impressive; it looked like he was floating from kick to kick. Phenomenal footwork.
That was awesome. I remember feeling those kicks and leg sweeps when sparring with Kyokushin fighters from Japan.
Man you can see how good of a fighter he is due to the flow of technique choice for the distance and position he has not even one technique is wasted.
I'd crush him.
@@johngilmore697 yeah, it's easy when your opponent is not throwing anything. Was he actually a mma fighter?
@@santiagooarg6990 They don’t mess with the Daddy! KISS KISS BANG BANG
you would get thrashed mate. I can assure you that.@@johngilmore697
Yes you can see how great he is throwing flashy bs, hands down, and gassing himself out in less then 3 mins 😂😂😂😂😂
This guy is more of a bodybuilder than a “MMA” guy... that’s for sure.
Cope
Amazing display of control and speed. Can’t imagine how is to get hit by a guy like him in his 100% power
I dont think you would remember it, when you wake...
He would be throwing flashy bs with his hands down while a real mma fighter would block and then feed him a vicious overhand 😂
@@HonkeyKong54 And you’re here taking shit with no experiences whatsoever, lmao. Pathetic.
Beautiful. The teacher moved so great. Respect!
I am currently 68yrs old and have studied several martial arts since my mid-teens and have always considered Kyokushin by far the best school of karate in the world!
Dudes kicks are insanely good and incredible footwork and ability to cover distance.
What impressed me most was the control. Lightning speed but only connects with power when he chooses to. That's mastery!
Your words are spot on. I would add: his(the master's) attack was unrelenting.
Be safe and in good health.
@@tyronekim3506 yes unrelenting is correct. Beautiful technique too, I loved watching it again. Lets all keep safe my friend.
I always found that using the right amount of force was extremely difficult when sparring. You obviously want to get a decent hit, but you don't want to cause too much pain - especially with smaller opponents.
Not exactly representative. The "MMA guy" clearly has very little experience as he's flinching and closing his eyes at every strike, and reaching out to try to block the kicks (this is the first thing you learn not to do if you train). He doesn't even throw a single strike whether due to lack of experience or out of respect, I don't know, however there were a LOT of openings for counters. I would bet from this video he hasn't trained for more than a couple of years consistently.
Furthermore he's fighting someone very experienced in a rule-set that he has likely never trained under. Make that Kyokushin master wrestle with high-school kids and you'd see something very similar in the opposite direction.
Having said that, the black belt is clearly very skilled at what he does, I dont want to sound like I'm bashing him, it just seems slightly unfair to me. Entertaining, nevertheless, however...
Why would that Kyokoshin want to wrestle with high school boys? He'd just kickbox them.
@@timothyfreeman97 he'd get double legged and pounded...
you know what you're right ...but instead of trying to find a high school kid wrestler why don't you find the black belt master here and fight (spar) him yourself ?
The young guy here is barely attacking. How much easier can me make it for the master?
Let em have this, how many videos out there of MMA guys stomping over traditional martial artists who I wouldn't dare call experienced. Besides, the title clarifies, it's an amateur over there.
Very nice kicks and amazing control. Looks like a true master to me. I am inspired🥋🙏
Both of them being so respectful each other.
I wish I could go back in time and train like that. Kyokushin is very well represented in this video, and will add kyokushin is a dangerous form of karate. It’s full contact form makes it dangerous to even practice, without getting injured.
I trained at a Dojo for a long time that didn't have any qualms at all with full contact training. Black eyes, busted iips, bloody noses were very common. Like, pretty much every night. Definitely not for everyone. We had a group of about 25 really dedicated students, all black belts and brown belts who were about to be black belts..and then there was a revolving door of white belts lol. The white belt turnover rate was really high. But hey, you either wanted to be there, and had what it took to be there and advance thru the ranks, or you didn't. I feel very fortunate to have been apart of that, and look back on those years very fondly. It definitely gave me a very solid foundation to start with when I started MMA.

"I trained at a Dojo for a long time that didn't have any qualms at all with full contact training. Black eyes, busted iips, bloody noses were very common. Like, pretty much every night. "
I feel like you're not really learning the essence of martial arts doing that. Might as well do western combat sports, at that point. A big part of real martial arts is spiritual and intellectual advancement.
@@mattjack3983Good way to scare new people away from karate...
Maaann!!
This guy can sure control his legs.
Amaizing skills!
Everyone in the comments is so mad for some reason.
A jiujitsu guy will typically perform more impressively in jiujitsu than an mma fighter, because those are the rules he trains for. The same way that a karate guy will usually perform more impressively in a karate ruleset than an mma fighter. Just because mma has all ranges of combat doesn't mean that an mma fighter will be god tier at every combat sport.
Very true! It's the individuals who truly don't understand martial arts, these same said individuals believe that MMA is the be all to the end all!
You don’t think that some of the “mad” comments are due to the dishonest/braggadocios nature of these types of videos?
It’s almost like it’s an answer to a question no one asked. If it were a longer video then we might know more.
MMA: Jack of all trades, master of none
@@GMunoz-oj5zb hahaha probably most of the time. And sometimes, “Jack of all trades, master of one.” And rarely: “Jack of all trades, master of some.”
@@eclipsewrecker true too
I will be glad to see this master to use this beautiful kicks in MMA arena.
I love how much fun he's having with this
It’s in kyokushin rules so it’s not really fair can’t use face punches
And no grappling since it’s not kyokushin what if the mma guys a grappler not striker
Of course it’s not fair. There’s no totally fair ruleset for two different martial arts stylists to fight.
@@Geburah82 MMA isn't fair or equal.
As a sport it has factors that alter the strategy,
It's fought with handwraps and gloves that fundamentally changes the dynamic of punching and punch defense. Without it you would see different guards, open-hand strikes to the face, different approaches to striking.
It's also fought in a very specific type of arena that creates a very large focus on certain grappling strategies, as compared to an open mat or anything else.
Soft mats in general create a very distorted view of grappling also. The focus on submission grappling is extremely skewed from the limited importance it has in reality.
Regardless, throwing in specialists from various styles to fight each other really doesn't prove much. Throw in a boxer vs a Thai boxer and he will get his legs kicked out, sure. It still doesn't take away the unique skillset and value of boxing as a martial art.
@@Geburah82 Not at all. MMA rules are actually pretty hampering for martial artists who are trained in self defense arts that use strikes or attacks that are banned in the MMA. MMA only shows who is good at MMA under its rules and in its conditions (an "octagon", referee, timed rounds etc. , nothing else.
@@Geburah82 When you have UFC top fighters and champions getting knocked out by drunks at random bars maybe you need to have a little think about the difference between reality and a controlled sanctioned MMA bout.
That is the culture in martial arts world, usually when you spar with the masters, it doesn't look good for the master if they got beaten so the juniors always don't go all out in the situation like this. This is called respect.
The set up for the foot sweep mixup from that last bodyshot was actually insane
Kyokushin Guy: I dont care if my body is fully opened.
I have a buddy that is a black belt in this style and when he trains Mma his striking is phenomenal. You’ve seen how Muay Thai Mma is mixed with a wider stance to move in an out and to sprawl on takedowns. He does the same with this style karate and it’s super lethal.
I’m often critical of traditional martial arts but this guy is athletic and has extremely fluid movement. Impressive.
But kyokushin isnt a traditional martial art.
Just because they wear a dogi when training doesnt make em a traditional martial art.
Kyukoshin is from the 1950s. Not that old.
it's the artist, not the art, man.
@@neutrino78x It's definitely the art. There's a reason why taekwondo fighters all get their asses kicked by any competent fighters. Martial arts have movesets and techniques that are better than others for actual fighting. Kyokushin is one of the best martials for kicking ass.

Good demonstration. Kyokushin application the best❤️👍
Kyokushin is one of my favorite forms of Karate. It’s karate, yeah, not everything is applicable in street or MMA fights, certainly not boxing, but the conditioning and rules make for a really cool, tough sport.
The Kyokushin practitioner's reflexes are insane
I remember briefly learning kykoshin as a child. Was great fun. Sadly I was more interested in watching night rider on TV than going to classes. Such a shame really.
As a MMA fighter I guarantee this guy doesn’t train MMA. 🤦🏻♂️
He only trains karate and pretends to be mma for sake of video. Even an amateur knows how to deal with those weak kicks.
this dude did train for like a year or two and have one amateur match under his belt but yeah you can tell he is not an elite mma fighter th-cam.com/video/nUoi7QVEPzU/w-d-xo.html
You provided no evidence whatsover to prove that the MMA guy is a Karate practitioner, r-t-ard. That's not fact checking works. It's keyboard clowns like you making the MMA fanbase looks mindless.
That guy is not an mma fighter he has no striking abilities. He looked like a civilian out there.
This guy moves like a video character 😅 and looks like a casual dude. His spin kick was so smooth and was throwing with good pace but just touching. ✊🏽cool stuff
Such incredible speed and flexibility for someone who looks on the heavy set side very impressive demonstration could do well in a place like Glory or even the UFC if he learned grappling to go along with his striking skills
It just looks impressive because his opponent refused to do anything than run away.
He's running forward with his head totally exposed
@@Tespri Too bad you have not seen the good examples like the fight between Lechi Kurbanov and Travis Fulton.
@@combatsportsarchive7632 bunch of no names. Just because one karate guy once wins, it doesn't make it viable martial art. Just as some one can win once with aikido as well.

You know.. place where punching to the head is legal ;)
@@TespriLaughing at the comments saying this guy would last in Glory or the UFC. He'd look like Fred Ettish in there.
Kyokushin is amazing!!!
Now we want to see vs an aggressive amateur... Hands up master
My man hit him with the entire arsenal of kicks from the sacred book
Wow I wish I knew about kyokushin 20 or 30 years ago.
If I had ten or twenty years left to study. Very powerful straightforward martial art. Respect, Ous!!!
Shorin Ryu practitioner
Domo arigato
Those kicks were very good, powerful and accurate. What I don't understand is why such a short match and why didn't the MMA man do anything. Forget pressure, etc. in time, the karate fighter would get tired with that much output.
It's because MMA is more careful, while stuff like Kyokushin is just, "Fuck it. I'm going in."
Because he couldn't punch in the face. I know dumb but thats the powerful tool. If you know you CAN be punched in the face you not going like this karate guy. I know what I'm talking about coz as a former kickboxer we used to train with kyokushin friends on their rules. Tough bastards they are but being able punch in the face changing things dramatically. Love those times :).

@@JanKowalski-pe9lo Thank you! He changed my martial arts life for the better. I'm not as good as my teacher, but I do the best I can. Best!
finally both of the fighters were smiling at the end !
The solar plexus punch in the end was a great touch to end the fight, lol. This kyokushin sensei is so impressive! Wonder how young he started training?
He might have taken less damage going forward, that masters kicks where epic. That being said I can understand wanting to back up from that!
Nah, it just means that guy isn't MMA fighter or even experienced fighter. Heck it's also sign of low IQ. You can completely eliminate kicks impact by closing in. Since all the momentum is near the feet, thus you can eliminate the impact's strenght by closing in and then grapple the leg that was used to kick and make a take down.
Simply put this video is actually 2 karate practitioners making propaganda for karate. There is a reason why Karate never wins any tournaments.
Mate its in the title, its a kyokushin sparring. Tf you talking about take downs for lol
@@doromizu. Talking about going closer to cut off kicking and punching power. I felt he was basically at a perfect range for his opponent to deliver powerful kicks. I mean either way he looked like he was in for it!
@@Tespri Some of them did win titles in early MMA such as the ones who participated in a MMA event called "All Nihon Combat Sports Championship" (1995). The footage for that MMA tournament is already available on this website. Just search a video titled "Full Contact Karate in Early MMA" to find it. That venue also brought other fighters from modern combat sports such as Combat Sambo and Shooto.
@@combatsportsarchive7632 Early? So basically with some bs karate rules. Since clearly now all karate kids get demolished.
How does this MMA fighter have no takedown skills? Could of easily done a double or single leg takedown. Ground game would have crushed this dude.
looks like they were just playing around, some of the karate strikes were just dumb, leaving your leg up for a hook kick... ick
those kicks were truly impressive
The karateka has some serious kicking skills and he was showing control as well. He was holding back.
If that guy is an Amateur MMA fighter then I am a professional MMA fighter
FR
Dude was under flurry of kicks and you think you'd do better than him?
@@turbotrup96 Yes.
Utter BS....He would get crushed in a fight...Point fighting is not fighting.
Goddamn, that was the first time I felt scared watching a karate fighter. I think he would have hit me with every one of those kicks.
The title should be "Human punching bag vs Kyokushin Master"
Technically speaking the Kyokushin fighter is a Sensei or maybe a Shihan. Not a master in technical terms. But he could be considered a master of his own branch(s). If you look on the belt he has maybe 6 stripes and that's still a highly respectable rank. I love his kicking technique and how he's controlling it by pulling back his kicks so he doesn't hurt the other guy. Kyokushin is full contact fighting and so many great fighters comes from Kyokushin. Very impressive display. I wouldn't last 5 seconds with him.
Smothered. There's a BIG difference in skill level and experience here (I don't think the MMA guy has a lot of experience getting hit, to be honest. He seemed to get rattled despite the karateka taking is easy on him).
I've got a lot of time for karate. Although when I studied karate it was essentially a belt factory (bad dojo), when properly taught karate is an extremely functional and effective martial art. It's no joke.
nice pfp who is that?
So functional that they never win mma
@@Tespri What the heck are you talking about? There are several extremely successful karate fighters in MMA.
Is it too much to ask that you fact check what you're about to say before you open your mouth and prove that you don't know anything whatsoever what you're talking about?
@@seraphinaaizen6278 name one that uses only karate moves
@@Tespri .....Okay, sit down kid.
Nobody in MMA uses ONLY karate, just like nobody in the MMA uses ONLY kickboxing. It's called "mixed martial arts" for a reason. There's no single martial art in existence that offers the complete skillset that a fighter is going to need inside an MMA environment.
There are fighters who use a kickboxing base. There are fighters who use a karate base. But all these fighters will need to cross-train in other styles in order to make sure their skillset is filled out.
Every single question you are asking at this point makes it abundantly clear that you don't know what the heck you're talking about. I would suggest, before you put your spindly little fingers back on the keyboard and ask another one, that you decide if this is the hill you want to die on or if you've done enough trolling for one day.
The first spin kick said it all.
Fantastic technique, power and control
20 years ago I sparred against a kyokushin student.
I got into a boxing stance, moved in, threw a jab, and he put his fingers in my right eye then kicked my stomach faster than I could move.
A few months later I started karate, and never made that mistake again.
A decade after that, ten years ago, I got my black belt, but truly.. it's not about the belt but the progress of learning
One day sensei is gonna learn to keep his hand up in a hard way
The Karate guy was kicking at will, with his hands down, because he knows he’s not getting punched in the face. Against a boxer, with his hands down, it’s unrealistic to last more than 5 seconds.

Kyokushin fighters are famous for taking blows to the face
@@giriprasadkotte9876 no they are not
@@giriprasadkotte9876 Famous for taking blows to the face? How can that be? I thought Kyokushin rules doesn’t allow punching to the face.
@@nicklubrino2606
Yes. They aren't well prepared for face punches.
He's insanely good
Kicks from literally everywhere
Damn, this guy moves so light on his feet for a big guy.
How about some MMA rules for round 2?
Kyokushin actually scary, they keep attacking and not backing up

he just woke up, mma is not the ultimate. the look on his face at end CV is priceless
Kyokushin Karate was made for one thing, fighting and using practical weapons of attack. Inspired by numerous other styles too including Korean and Chinese. Not sure if Muay Thai was also researched, but I believe it would be then too. Even flashy moves are follow through into the target.
muay thai bring elbow and knees technique
Not impressed considering the mma fighter didn't even try to fight back. Pretty sure he would lose but still. The karate guy just threw a puch of kicks with his hands down like he is practicing or something.
He tried to kick him back, he was overwhelmed and focused on defence, which you or most people unused to that level of pressure would be also. Throwing strikes back means opening up your defence which in this kind of situation ends up with a shin to your jaw.
@@SaikouKarate "unused to that level of pressure" lmaooo any so-called MMA fighter who is not used to people doing their best to kick him in the face is not a real MMA fighter
@@AndreiH1605 List me 10 MMA fighters who kick half as good as this. You don’t seem to understand the skill of a specialist vs a rounded MMA fighter.
@@SaikouKarate Exactly so. That's high level kicking and the guy was outclassed, period. Would he do so well in an MMA ruleset with takedowns and groundfighting.... maybe but probably not. Even so he's clearly a superior martial artist
I think he could be fighting his reflex to punch the opponent in the face. That hesitation is enough for the Kyokushin guy to dominate.
Omg those kicks! Dude mov3s like a spirit.
Those kicks were otherworldly!
Masterpiece of foot work!!! Wow! What was that?? Amazing!!
Which angles will you be throwing kicks at?
Kyokushin Karate Master:
"Yes!"
He was being nice, no punches or knees. Miss kyokushin training, kyokushin is a family.
Got to love them leg kick movements
He's an amateur MMA fighter who learned how to do takedowns on zoom during Covid.
This is like getting a football player and a basketball player and then saying ok lets play basketball
Watches UFC once: "Yup, I'm ready"
Glad they didn't kill each other.
Those kicks are excellent.
Nice kicks!!🙌👏
If homeboy moves like this now imagine him in his late 20s. Crazy.
This Kyokushin master is one of the most skillful, fast and powerful strikers I've seen. His kicks are incredibly rooted.
Today I learned that “Amateur MMA Fighter & Bodybuilder” is the same thing as “Target Dummy”
