I love your channel! I stumbled upon it by chance when searching for karate videos to watch, and i was not expecting to actually find a karate channel that responds to its viewers with videos to answer their questions, even if they don't use karate. I myself practice capoeira, but even if you cant help me, i'm certainly going to stick around and watch your karate videos!

+Falk Schiffner great catch! thank you for the support!

A common way, by which I've been thrown several times in the past, was similar to 5:15 . When a front kick comes, you hook it away in a circular motion , pull your opponent slightly to you so he loses balance and finish with a low kick to the lower part of his hamstring, pushing your other hand against his chest. Nothing fancy, but easy to drill and high % success rate.

that's a great one, thanks for the recommendation, we'll start to drill it this week

Late to the conversation, 2018! I trained Kyokushin Kai back in the day, 1982. The old school was in Brooklyn NY. Back then, it was a Karate and Judo school. In our classes, throws were allowed in kumite. Hence, we allowed to grab the gi.

Kyokushin has Judo in it.

At 2:50, as a Kyokushin practitioner, I use my shoulder in to attack or even break the balance of my opponents....A bit variation from Pinan Sandan bunkai.......I don't practice for tournaments since I work as a security guard non-stop for the weekends, but this is a good video otherwise.

+NYKgjl10 That's a great variation, the shoulder is definitely an underutilized body part for attacking, thanks for your contribution!

I'm a weekend guard as well. Buggers your social life eh. I'm aiming to get better hours, hope you do too. Osu.

These guys are flippin awesome. I'm watching all your videos. I'm not even a karate guy.....I was a boxer/wrestler/kickboxer. But I love all martial arts. I've always wanted to join a good karate gym, but unfortunately I can't find any near me that meet my qualifications: i.e. hard work, adult oriented (or at least a class geared specifically for adults), and a traditional style. Also, I really enjoy hard sparring. Oh well, maybe someday.

After watching this video i started to wonder: where do you believe the limit for what can be defined as a "traditional style" goes? Do you think that any style without its origin in okinawa cannot be considered "traditional" or do you believe that styles like kyokushin can be called traditional, and what about hawawaian and american kenpo for example?

@karateculture

That is a hard question to answer with just a short comment response. I believe traditionally, all styles included every aspect of combat i.e. striking, grappling, throws, locks, etc. This separation into disciplines didn't exist until the arts were made into entertainment sports. Also, the traditional mindset was for survival in a life and death altercation, therefore those martial artists kept what worked, removed what didn't work, and also learned from whomever they could. Kyokushin is "traditionally-based" but revolves around a specific ruleset that promotes safety within their sport. Traditional martial arts would then be something that doesn't factor in sportive rules for combat and relies on some sort of form or kata to extract their self-defense techniques.

Karate Culture Thanks for the informative answer, definitely cleared up some confusion.

I believe that everything you showed for the Kyokushin guy would be illegal under their rules.

sorry, we were trying to answer the question by suggesting takedown opportunities based on how a kyokushin practitioner would fight since we don't know the rules of sport karate. hope that helps, thanks!

I think it's a little silly that they don't allow punches to the Head in kyokushin karate because that's where are most people on the street are going to aim for and without learning proper head movement or blocks you be dead in a real fight. And their excuses that they're afraid you might kill somebody because somebody did it before in their Style but what they don't realize that boxing actually has the most powerful in terms of punches and they don't often kill each other even in bare-knuckle fights. Not saying that doesn't happen at all but it's just very rare.
