Allow clinch and sweeps in kickboxing. It is effective and realistic in a real fight. Then the difference between kickboxing and muay thai would be that muay thai have teh elbows, slower pace and kick to the quads

There’s many forms of Kickboxing to the point where it’s difficult to put them under a single umbrella. American Kickboxing is Boxing meets Karate. Japanese Kickboxing and Dutch Kickboxing have different origins and styles but they’re both Karate meets Boxing meets Muay Thai. And then there’s other styles that are sometimes addressed as Kickboxing like Sanda, Savate, even Muay Thai is sometimes called Thai Kickboxing.

What you seeing is only the sport aspect of Kyokushin, which is pretty much the only way Muay Thai is taught/trained today. Kyokushin is still a traditional martial art with kata, basics (kihon), it's own conditioning (old style conditioning), self defense aspects etc etc which all goes into building the fighter/practitioner along with the more modern sport aspects of training and cross training.

@casz7098

@@anandls1 yes of course. But MT has a lot of traditional aspects like the wai kru(kata), the crown, taking your trainer's or gyms name, the armbands and prayers as well as how the gambling odds change every round. There's also the age of the art and that it was used with weapons in combat by soldiers. It's very similar to karate as all martial arts are in a way similar. It's the art of war. One style is not necessarily better than the other. It's the fighter of the style not the style of the fighter. Hence we have legends from all disciplines like Buakaw, Masato, Filho, Alerts, etc.

Ya know even though Josh Tonna lost what the announcer says was right. He took all the and still kept moving forward. That in and of itself is impressive. You can’t deny guy’s a beast

Japanese guy is so composed...build out of granite...slippery...killer kicks...great combos! Looking real good!

respect for Josh who never gave up until the final bell. A lot of other fighters would have just stayed down and quit, but he believed he could knock Hiroki out with one punch.

Akimoto, the first time I saw him fight, has been a favorite of mine, his Karate kick arsenal is so good.

what a heart by tonna. Respect to both athletes.

The absolute raw fighting spirit displayed in this match is incredible.

Akimoto is in too good of shape and fights so relaxed which is a sign of someone that has fought a lot! GSP was also trained in Kyokushin which many consider the best karate style.

Yeah, because Kyokushin is the father of Kickboxing

Akimoto's every motion is circular. What is required against him is continuous forward pressure and straight strikes. When Tonna did that, he gained the upper hand.

Akimoto dominated the fight, obviously wins, used mostly kyokushin. However the fighting spirit of Tona is admirable, as well. It's his willpower and good training that he stood in the ring till end. 👍

He is a quality athlete, he stops hitting when the opponent falls to the ground

Great fight, technique and heart from both fighters!

Kyokushin is a great style

What a fight! Both are warriors!

Wow , What a fight of Champions.. respect to Tonna , who lived up to fight till end , after that Karate round house on belly section , that Hart Hard 🙏

Kyokushin is most brutal form of karate, full contact bare hands most game end up with knockout. They have avoided so far in olympics for same reason love seeing karate

Beautiful work by Akimoto, but tremendous heart shown from Tonna!

It’s amazing to see both great fighters display their technique in an mma fight

Akimoto looks like a fitness model dude is ripped. They dont even look like the same weight class.

The best two martial arts in my opinion

Both these guys are in tremendous shape!

Martial art war between Thai and Japan never ends

Jeez Tonna is hard AF……man just doesn’t stop coming forward!!

That kick to body is not roundhouse kick It’s mikazuki kick which karateka does using toe to hit liver. It’s far more destructive that roundhouse kick but few people use it cuz you can hurt yourself if you do it wrong.

Wow akimoto doesn't even look tired at all. That cardio Has been running up mountains all year?

haven't seen Tonna before, but his kicks were nowhere near what I expected based on his TB background. Good win for Akimoto.
