"I am fighting a Kyokushin guy tomorrow"

[KyokushinKarateMan]

Hilarious thread unfolds about a dude who has been training Muay Thai for only 6 months, seeking advice about an upcoming stand-up/striking only challenge he issued to a Kyokushin fighter who's been training for 11 years. The replies

I am primarily a BJJ guy, although I have trained some Muay Thai for the past six months. A MT guy comes into our gym once a week, my hands are not that great but I have a pretty good leg kick.

My sister's boyfriend is a Kyokushin Karate guy, and last night my mouth got the best of me. He was going on and on about the conditioning that Kyokushin provides and the toughness that it builds.

I told him bluntly that there is no striking art that builds conditioning and toughness like Muay Thai. I proceeded to tell him that no hitting in the face simply does not reflect reality, and that the art should not be qualified as a form of self defense. This really pissed him off.

The situation was uncomfortable to say the least. This guy was acting like I was a punk ass bytch and couldn't admit that his striking was inferior. Granted, he has done Kyo for 11 years and has gone to "world" championships, I am confident that my Muay Thai will teach him a lesson and waken him up to the modern world.

My question: to all of you Kyo guys out there, what is the best method for dealing with a Kyo guy. My current plan is to chop him down with leg kicks, but all advice is greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Bill

I dont think your 6 months of world class Muay Thai is going to defeat this Kyokushin fighter, especially if he is championship material, hope its not a stand up fight.. hope you are joking...

This is a stand-up fight. I though Karate guy's punches suck and their kicks are not that great (compared to Thai kicks)??

Well Ive done Shotokan for several years and fought in championships, I can asure you from first hand experience that some of these people are extremely fast... and 6 months of training could NOT over come that IMO. Kyo guys are well known for their body conditioning, infact these fukkers are in your face bombarding with hits until one drops.

Good night sweet prince.

From the replies I am somewhat worried. What is your advice? Haymakers? I can't back down from this fight.

Dude, come on now. You may get one leg kick in before your ass is seeing birdies. Use the teep and keep him away from you. Then stab him and run away.

I'm guessing you don't know much about the different styles of karate. Look up some Kyokushin fights on Youtube. It is probably the most hardcore of the traditional karate styles.

Even though they don't punch to the face, they go full contact and they spar often. Anyone who has put in 10 years of training (if he's even remotely dedicated) is a tough motherfukker. I think your mouth wrote a check your ass isn't ready to cash.

If it's MMA, you need to get it to the ground ASAP and you'll be fine. KK guys tend to fight in close, so you're probably good for getting in clinching range.

If it's stand-up only, you're probably going to get the shyt kicked out of you. My only advice would be to try and take advantage of the fact that he doesn't train much for punches to the face and work in headhots off of body shots.

Kyokushin has leg kicks so he'll be read for those. From the few Kyokushin guys I've sparred MT with their usual weakness is with punches to the face. They are used to holding their arms in tight when they see punches coming because they spar with no face punches. Work some body punches then hook to the face.

However, I'd say the likely outcome is you get KOed by a headkick before that happens.

Don't let Kyoshinkai fool you. They are tough mofos. If he had 11 years of training real Kyoshinkai and you only had six months MT then just throw in the towel and save yourself alot of pain. MT kicks are one of the best kicks, but Kyoshinkai isn't too shabby. He will easily destroy you. 6 months of MT isn't enough to get you in top competition shape.

Damn dude....I didn't have a chance to research Kyokushin...it is not that easy when you get into an unexpected argument.

From what I have picked up so far, leg kicks, or kicks in general, are off.

I think my best strategy is to straight off throw a big ass haymaker to the face. Try to knock him out right off the bat. If he isnt trained for punches to the face, there is a good argument that he won't see it coming.

Again- I can't back down from this fight. It would ruin my game for years.....

He's going to light your ass up. If you guys go bare knuckle it will be even worse.

Don't listen to the reverse trolls.

Those videos you say of the Kyoukshin guys with the leg kicks were Muay thai sandbaggers. This is a fact that you can look up.

The Kyoukshin belt test is breaking baseball bats. The "Hundred Man Kumite" is a lie. Breaking baseball bats is cool, but a trick. This is a fact.

Legkick the shyt out of this guy and understand that he will not know how to punch to your face. You should have no problem walking through him.

Also, video tape and post.
