Who`s into Marterial Arts ? I did Kyokushin Karate

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-bjEP0uE_A&mode=related&search=

So you know what`s up ...

No hitting in the Face is just part of Tournaments because it can end up deadly ... so we`ll just act the Punch to the Head - Kyokushin Karate is one of the Hardest Marterial Arts ... It`s much harder than "normal" Shotokan Karate... It`s purer than other Karate , the Goal is to Kill or Terminate your Opponent (we leave the whoaaaaaaaa at home , and try to be complete Fighters...)



Take a look in this Vid so you know whats up (theres also the Famous Bull fight & Scenes of good Tournament Fights... )

I am practicing Yin&Yang Kempo.

The style I am practicing is originated in China, very similiar to some Kung Fu styles but much more direct and with out the "dancing" you see in most Kung Fu styles.
Kempo made its way to indonesia where it got some influences from Pencak Silat and Kung Tao. Here were two Dutch soldiers (Indonesian origin) who picked this fighting art up and when moving back to Holland teaching it since. They got into arguments about the style and split it into Shoalin Kempo (the newer form) and the old traditional form Yin&Yang Kempo. The most people practice Shaolin Kempo and the style I practice isn't that fermilliar anymore.. but I like it better because it is the traditional style

It is based on aswell long and short distance fighting, most attacks are straight forward which gives us an advantace on most other styles. Altho we do not have any groundfighting involved which is a flaw for modern fighting.

There are many Kempo vids on the net but none can be compared to the style I practice. I know one Shifu who moved from Holland to Germany and still teaches tho. So the closest to the style I practice you can get outside of Holland is in Germany

This is my doing a sword saifa, from another style of Kung Fu

Kyokushin is by far the best form of Karate. Andy Hug proved that you can mix it with boxing and be dominant against other forms of stand-up martial arts. By far tho, Muay Thai is my favorite and is without question the most efficient and effective striking martial art.

Its not easy but your body gets conditioned to it after time. It depends on how far you want to go with it tho. If you want to actually compete, its rough as fuck, but if you want to take classes and learn the art its not going to kill you. Everything depends on the trainer tho.

I did Thai Boxing for a while aswell the training is hard and though as fuck you can whip your body into shape in no time at all. When ever I was done with practice I could wringe the shirt I was wearing like a sponge and there was so much sweat comming out it was unbelievable. I had to quit due to time and location, shitty because I really enjoyed it. I learned a lot there.

Thats not exaggeration. The class I take from time to time is like boot camp. Non-stop movement. When your waiting to do combos on the bag your shadowboxing the whole time. Your running sprints, doing pushups/situps/squats/jumping jacks etc... The clinch practice is really tiring as well. We also trade kicks with each other (non full force) to condition the body. The first class I took I almost threw up halfway though. Once you make it through the class you feel great and refreshed. You'll get rocksolid in no time. But ya, I'll be dripping wet by the end of class.

Yep sounds familiar, mostly halfway through we started sparring 3 minutes against everybody (one by one) this is exhausthing at one point I was so tired the gloves were to heavy for me to hold. So there went my defence out the window. Only thing that saved me was that I had to give myself a mental boost to gain energy again and keep on fighting, or be used as a punching back. This sport asks a lot from you, but if you can give what it asks its a very rewarding sport.

I am due for my brownbelt examn for Kempo on the 9th!!

I never did material arts, but I did Martial Arts. when I was younger I used to take Kajukenbo, which was Karate, Judo, Jujitsu, Kenpo, & Chinese Boxing combined. I got to my green belt.....I should start going again, it was a good workout
