I actually started doing Japanese kickboxing recently because I watched glory and one champion and the amount of people that say to me ur dumb for doing it (cause the day do Muay Thai or its because I’m short ) I’m like bro chilll anyway great video
I did boxing, kickboxing and Shito Ryu karate back in the 80’s before MMA was a thing. All 3 were very tough and hard hitting.
I was a big fan of masato, he was basically a boxer that learned low kicks and knees. His hands were lethal, and when he fought a top pro boxer (vince phillips) he low kicked him to death. Very hard guy to beat. Buakaw had problems with him.
I used to watch Kickboxing on channel 26 (San Francisco) in the late 70s. It was broadcast from Japan. It was Japanese and Thai fighters.

Whens the store going to open back up?
Osu! Nice breakdown
any gyms that train fighters in the japanese kickboxing style worldwide?
Just train K1 or Muay Thai which is it actually
@@FernandoAlbezJapanese Kickboxing is not Muay Thai, they look completely different
So what´s the difference between Japanese kickboxing and K1?
Japanese kickboxing is a form of kickboxing, whereas K1 is a promotion (based in Japan) and a ruleset.
Today, K1 is heavily associated with kickboxing (and at times used interchangeably), due to several kickboxing promotions adopting the K1 ruleset.
@@CombatCultureUSA but isn’t k1 also known as Dutch kickboxing? So in other words, didn’t k1 style/ruleset come from Holland? And if the styles are the same why give it different names?
Sorry I’m a little confused😅
@@AlyNurdin007 no, the K1 was a promotion based in Japan. Many Dutch Kickboxers have competed and done extremely well in K1, so there’s a natural association between Dutch kickboxers and K1.
Dutch Kickboxing and Japanese kickboxing share a common lineage through Kenji Kurosaki. Jan Plas trained under him for a time, and along with Johan Vos, and Thom Harinck were instrumental in spreading kickboxing throughout the Netherlands.
K1 is one of rulesets of kickboxing, and japanese and dutch kickboxing are styles of kickboxing
Original muay thai do Not know boxing, That's why Rick Roufus broke the Jaw of Changpuek and knocked out Changpuek 2 times by Punching Changpuek in the Face.
Incorrect. Boxing was added to the Muay Thai curriculum in the 1913.
@@RaggedyCatProductions boxing 1913 is Not as developed as boxing of today, and Thais favor kicks over punch, they use clinch and throws as defence against punches.
@@bo-MMAvery true
Metprik tor silichai was punching thais into the ground back in the 70s every nak muays style is different, most thais favor the muay femur or muay tae styles because the point system favors kicking over punches but that doesn't mean there wasnt pioneers in boxing in muay thai, fighters like samson isaan and even samart payakaroon had amazing success crossing over into western boxing back in the golden age
Original kyokushin has face punching and knocked out muay thai in 1960's.
Only because the Muay Thai fighters weren’t really allowed to do Muay Thai. The bouts didn’t allow knees, elbows or clinching,(I’m not sure if they allowed low kicks either)which were more suited to
The karate kickboxing style
@@theawesomest2850 they fought in Muay thai rules in 1960's.
Two of those Thai fighters were already retired, the one who won, wasn't.
@@metalzonemt-2 stop lying, muay thai lose to kyokushin in 1960's period.
@@metalzonemt-2 in fact japanese kickboxers and dutch kickboxers are knocking out muay thai since the 1960's, Ramon Dekkers a dutch kickboxer knocked out a lot of muay thai.
To anyone who reads this, don't try to argue with that lying comment called @BoxerKyokushin. He is very wrong about the comparison between Japanese kickboxing and Muay Thai. Instead, read this specific paragraph from an MMA gym's article (Diesel Gym London) for fact checking:
"It might come as a bit of a surprise to see Japan and Holland lumped in together here. The reason for this is simple; while they have diverged more today, the history of dutch kickboxing is based in Japan. I’ve wrote about this at length in my article at Muay Thai Guy.
The short version of it is simple. In the 1960s, Kenji Kurosaki, a black belt in Kyokushin Karate took part in a series of style vs style fights against Thai boxers in Thailand. Kurosaki represented Kyokushin, and was the only fighter to lose his bout. The fights took place over mixed rules and allowed for techniques normally banned from Muay Thai, but Kurosaki was TKO’d via elbows.
Kyokushin Karate experienced a shift in this time, with Mas Oyama, the founder believing that the best way to keep Kyokushin realistic as a self defence art, was to fight bare knuckle, but this meant that punches couldn’t be thrown to the face. Kenji Kurosaki disagreed and started what we know today as kickboxing. He borrowed techniques from Muay Thai, and founded the Mejiro Gym. His student Toshio Fujiwara became the first ever non-Thai Lumpinee stadium champion using his approach.
The approach is not exactly Muay Thai. Japanese boxers are known for their high speed combination punching, and their approach to kickboxing is much the same. While kickboxers from Japan do kick, the influence from Muay Thai appears more in their approach to knee strikes than it does the rhythm of their fighting.
Takeru Segawa, a black belt in shin karate (essentially kickboxing in a gi), keeps a high work rate of punches and simple, but effective kicks. He crowds his opponent with hooks, and uses a mixture of round kicks, front kicks and chudan mawashi geri (a round kick using the ball of the foot). These techniques are all simple, but they compliment and disguise each other.
Takeru is the finest Japanese kickboxer currently fighting, though, and his style differs from old greats like Masato who practically fought an identical style to the dutch of his era."

people that know origins of dutch kickboxing know that their origins come kykushin though but allot of people don't know the differences between muay thai , K1 and kykushin , they lump everything togheter .
Japanese kickboxing is combination of Boxing and kyokushin, muay thai is not included.
That is not correct at all
@@Meteorman312 Original kyokushin has face punching and knocked out muay thai in 1960's. So all the Japanese creator has to do is add boxing.
Dutch style kickboxing is leaning more towards Muay Thai and can be adapted into Muay Thai matches than Japanese kickboxing , Japanese kickboxing style is too much on the speed
Not true. Obama and Sawamura made a point of training and sending fighters to Thailand to help develop and round out their skills. Same is true for Holland.
