I’ve been training Kudo since 2015 and it is an honor to get compliments from you on kudo, thank you!!! I’m really proud that people in the US are starting to know what it is!
Not true on that last part most people our go into Kudo likes to train mms without and likes the "Budo" form of the martial bc mma truly isn't appealing to them. Mainly bc they know getting face smashed in or smashing someone face in (without them having no way to defend themselves) was not rewarding for the damage it caused am most of them like the helmet bc of that. There is a TH-camr named Kudoaist or Kudoist something like that who made a video titled "what is Kudo and why you should do it. Check it out bc he went in great detail why many like to stay in Kudo and why they see it as the only ima style they like to train.
This is combined kyokushin karate and judo. which is Karate + jUDO was the name. Heavy roots from kyokushin which is why you see some of those guys doing the Jin Kazama pose when they KO their opponents and that one guy doing the rolling thunder kick (do kaiten mawashi geri) Fun fact: Mas Kimura (dude who wrecked Helio Gracie) is close friends and trained some karate with Mas Oyama (Kyokushin founder, also a blackbelt in kosen judo) to strengthen his hands.
Another thing that make Kudo different from Mixed Martial Arts competitions in the West is that the useage of the gi. In MMA we see fighters get sweaty, which affect grappling and clinching alot but Kudo has the gi. The gi reinforced both grappling aspect and changed striking inside the clinch completely, off balance became way easier
Yeah the GI is the BIG difference. Traditionnals BJJ players and Judokas would be far more efficient here than in MMA or even Sambo (even tho Sambo has a part of the Gi). No need for them to train in no GI were they would be surely less skilled. I would add that the fact that they have the head gear is another great addition. It allows them to use headbutt and to go wild on the striking. Even for karatekas (especially Kyokushin and Shotokan fighters). They would seek a greater challenge here than in Karate Combat for exemple which is just very low level kickboxing or even Kyokushin competition which don’t allow head strike.
@@MartialArtsTechniquesideas Kyokushin allows head kicks.They dont allow head punches however, but you can kick someones head of the shoulders which is always been bizzare to me ,what is the logic behind that rule, so i stopped doing Kyokushin because of that , it was just too stupid.I saw in the olympics in karate that one guy who got disqualified for a legal strike that knocked out hes opponent because allegedly it was with power(they call it exessive contact wtf) , but we see in the replay it wasnt really a power kick the other guy just moved into the kick.Bizzare rulesets like this make traditional martial arts look like a joke.
@@MartialArtsTechniquesideasabsolutely true. Honestly it sucks not seeing more kudo guys turning pro but here's the catch: most of them are regular people with pretty good jobs too. One of our best guys is a lawyer in Milan and he takes a shit ton amount of money. Why going pro, possibly getting cte and go broke when you can live a good life and still put up a show? I'd sponsor more kudo, but yeah. It is what it is
The way my former sensei explained it to me is that kudo is pretty much a street fight. I did one round with my coach and all he did was clinch me and headbutt me (with headgear). It was insane and a completely different pace from MMA
The pace is the main thing that looks most interesting to me. From a technique perspective MMA is great, obviously, but there is too much energy preserving IMO to be as "real" as it could be
Seems like the pace is way higher which is more relevant for a street fight. Also being able to grab and hold clothes is more realistic, unless you're fighting at a nudist beach
Theres a few notable guys in MMA with Kudo backgrounds, mostly from Russia because that is the largest Kudo scene in the world outside of Japan. It's quite like Judo, however, in that it's a bit of its own world, insulated from global MMA.
@@bobfaam5215 Sambo is just one of many martial arts practiced in Russia... one of those many is Kudo, which currently has more members in the Russian Federation than it does in Japan.
Kudo is fun I did some after fighting mma and earnt my black belt. You have to fight at every grading. Very well thought out martial art. The founder was quite charismatic and forward thinking. Unfortunately he recently passed.
Azuma Takashi was the founder of that Kyokushin-based MMA. It was not popular in the Philippines as of the moment, yet it has substitute combat arts, Yaw-Yan.
@@Mighty15x The interesting thing about Kudo is NO WEIGHT CLASS in Kudo. Big guy vs Small guy is NORMAL here. And even it is MADE IN JAPAN but more popular in RUSSIA and other Ex SOVIET countries.
I have dedicated myself to training in Kudo for the past six months, and I must say it's been an incredible experience. Kudo can best be described as a fusion of MMA and traditional martial arts, with the added element of training in a Gi. It incorporates disciplines like Karate, Judo, BJJ, and a wide range of other martial arts techniques, making it a comprehensive and dynamic practice. What stands out to me the most about Kudo is its unwavering emphasis on safety. Throughout my training, I have felt secure and protected, knowing that the focus is on fostering a safe environment. Yet, despite its modern approach, Kudo manages to maintain a strong connection to the traditional roots of martial arts. Engaging in Kudo evokes a sense of participating in a time-honored martial art form. While striking a grounded opponent is restricted during our training sessions, it's interesting to note that Kudo championships have certain conditions under which such techniques are allowed. This showcases the adaptability and practicality of Kudo as a combat sport, catering to different scenarios and situations. In essence, Kudo can be recognized as an MMA style that beautifully integrates the use of a Gi. It captures the essence of both modern and traditional martial arts, offering a well-rounded and thrilling training experience.
Daidojuku is nostalgic. Remember watching their early WARS tournament series in the 90's a Kyokushin Karate friend recommended back in the day when Shooto and Pancrase were popping in Japan. Now it's a global subculture phenomenon like Combat Sambo.
i think headbutts are usually most useful in a grappling scenario, like you'd see in some of the old UFC's, grapplers often using them for ground and pound while both hands restrain the opponent. it makes sense considering how often you get 'accidentally' headbutted during wrestling. they fit ok into striking as well but that's usually if you're doing it holyfield style, swinging your head as you punch, or Duran style, doing them in conjunction with very close range punches and clinching.
Kudo was my first martial art before I swapped to BJJ. You have limited time on the ground, so submissions tend to happen very quickly or not at all. It would be a better and more complete martial art if more time was given on the ground to allowed for proper grappling to take place
@@azadog1233 there is no " you should never go to the ground " , you should never do this or that. Street fights happens very quickly and are extremely unpredictable . Your rules and strategies dont really matter sometimes you WILL end up on the ground . The main goal is to be prepared for every aspect of a fight and learn how to put your ego to the side and sometimes desengage and run !
The only Kudo practitioner in mma I know of is Hisaki Kato, but I think he just competes in kickboxing now. A system like this could make it relatively easy to get into mma, or kickboxing, or grappling since it basically a combination of judo and kyokushin karate.
you also missed the headbutt at 1:53. Proper headbutts in Kudo (or anywhere else for that matter) come from down -upwards with the top of the head(thickest part of the skull) connecting to the face-jaw of the opponent. The motion starts from the legs with the whole body and not jerking the neck like you see in the movies.
This reminds me a lot of Shin Karate tournaments, or the og K1 tournaments, where it was mostly Kyokushin and Judo. But with headbutts (the Lethwei of Karate lol).
Fun fact Kudo is an offshoot of Kyokushin and if I remember correctly the creator wanted to take kyokushin, a style that’s already pretty effective, and make it as close to an actual street fight as possible, so in essence people like GSP who have a kyokushin background and cross trained bjj and other forms of grappling basically are kudo practitioners
bro I love the reaction to fight videos and the fight break downs from you. I've always been a fan of your fighting, but I never followed you because I'm not into the whole gaming thing but now I can have something to watch from you so thanks man and keep up the hard work.
This is how Kyokushinkaikan should have been and maybe it would have been if the space helmet was available in the 50s. A reverse roundhouse backfist is pretty nasty too, I have taken out a few black belts that way when permitted.
I like it. It looks like karate as it was originally envisioned! The only thing is that they cleaned up the striking game with a high guard and lead punches. The rest has grappling and throws, as it was supposed to be.
When I think of MMA with headbutts, I think of Combat Sambo. Would love to see you react to both Combat and Sport Sambo Also seeing you react to Lethwei would be cool. I liked the street beefs video you did as well
i have been doing karate for years and did kudo too (until my sensei moved away), and i will absolutely die on the hill that kudo is more similar to authentic, original karate than most karate dojos are
Whoever emphasized the headbutts when selling this to you deserves one. I really wish you would have let go of that and focused more on the awesomeness you were actually watching.
Kudo is like kyukoshin with punches to the face. Karate in general has everything, locks, throws, groind fighting. Due to tradition and sports rules, we usually only see that bs
Sup DG, I just found Kudo a couple minutes ago. This is the first video I've seen about it since learning about it. Looks fun, but in the video I watched they fought on the ground and I saw a headbutt from a guy shooting a double leg, smashed his face while shooting. Plus I saw a tapout via armbar.
Kudo, it started with Kyokushin Karate and Judo. That is where the somersault kick is from. They have added BJJ and Thaiboxing style wise, so there are submissions as well.
reminds me of Oyama dojo about how Kyokushin was in its early days, they would stomp, headbutt, poke eyes, kick to the groin maybe even sometimes bite and would often just throw you against something
So glad I watched jre. Anyway to support the legends of mma. Would be great if you reacted to some mma highlights. Maybe some khabib and gsp highlights to start off!
This is a crazy coincidence. I discovered kudo a couple of days ago and preceeded to watch every kudo tournament I could find. And now mighty mouse is reacting to it.
Hey DJ! We prefer if you pause and rewind and do whatever it needs to commentate properly on the video! But, PLEASE, link the original videos in your description! It's just the moral thing to do (so we don't steal their views). Thanks!
You should look up Juan Meza and Jack Sera, both are practitioners of San Soo (this art contains techniques for biting, scratching, and headbutting as well).
Not that long ago in Europe (especially) eastern Europe they used to do full contact traditional jiujutsu. No ground and pound iirc but full contact karate+judo and the full submission arsenal! If the small joint stuff from tjj
Hey DJ I fought in the 1st and 3rd World Championships. The first I fought their Judo/Grappling coach and he yanked me into viscious headbutt. Maybe you could do Reaction to my MMA Greatest hits or vs 30 top mma Fighters vids
BYB bareknuckle is probably the best bareknuckle promotion imo, just for the fact the tri-gon ring shape, it's small and shaped like a triangle keeps constant action. Last thing you want to do is get stuck in those corners it's brutal
![โรงเรียนห้ามรัก โดนจับได้ตาย...!! [เอิร์นไดเม่]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/4u02Sbr556Q/mqdefault.jpg)
Hisaki Kato, the guy that KO'ed Joe Schilling twice (once in MMA, and then in kickboxing) comes from a Kudo background. It's a very cool martial art.

One scary thing about Kudokas is that the helmet makes it hard to breathe.
So these guys have insane stamina
Dude imagine it is already hard to breath when someone trying to choke you, now you add teh helmet on top of it. People would tap a lot faster.

Kudo is basically Karaté MMA.
Striking, clinching, grappling, ground and pound and headbutt are allowed.
Groundwork is Time limited
Happy that found your channel, didn’t know you have been streaming before youtube threw me a clip from you in JR. Love the mma content
I watched a video on it by Martial Arts Journey the other day and ground strikes are allowed for the person on bottom but not top which is interesting
Aw yes, the old lethal mixture of legit karate with old school judo.
Not that long ago in Europe (especially) eastern Europe they used to do full contact traditional jiujutsu. No ground and pound iirc but full contact karate+judo and the full submission arsenal! If the small joint stuff from tjj

Looks like proper scrapping
Actually there are lots of guys in MMA who come from Kudo background. Kudo is a style of Karate that mixes different styles in it.

We need guy Lethwei vs guy Kudo!! It would definitely be a brutal fight
I recommend this is competition combat to KO or submission.
