Random Kyokushin question: Why is it that we rotate our foot outward to take leg kicks...but in Sanchin we rotate it inward? Isnt this contradictory? Great content, sensei. Osu
@@ZaydNofal OSU! Thank you for the question. Accepting the kick we need to put weight and pressure on leg and do not want to take the kick to the hamstring so we turn slightly outward for the proper angle. Sanchin is more for protecting the groin from the back AND front. We are not accepting a strike to the leg in sanchin stance.
OOSSss Shihan , forgive me I was wondering where & who you received your belts from ? I trained under Shihan Jeff Lovering @ Goshin-Kan Dojo in NY . I believe he is 7th or 8th dan now.. Mj
Firstly why are they wearing mits and shin guards at a grading? Secondly why would you kick him in the back of the knee and then in the throat? Finally fighting when you are so tired at the end of a grading takes everything you have and then some!! Well done to the young fella!
@@Bob-rv3kj becsue he is a BLUE belt we wear protective gear. Back Belt grading does not. He was kicked next to the knee and he was fine. Fighting at the end of the grading when you are exhausted is the exact point. ALL Kyokushin does this. It is to reach deep and fight when you are tired. The ultimate truth NEVER GIVE UP. This is the meaning of OSU!
@@ShihanTomCallahan thank you for the reply Shihan no disrespect was intended so I hope none was taken. I am currently a 5th Kyu and none of my grading or training involves protection so I found it interesting. I love the testing of oneself which Kyokushin demands. Thank you for the video OSU
Brown belt annoyed me. He used his size to gain the upper hand and avoid getting hit instead of focusing on technique to give yellow belt a valuable training / exam
Guy with Shodan at 4:44 was a complete moron to a 7kyu student. This was a well-thought-out desire to injure a low-grade student. No respect whatsoever.
spinning back kick to the knee definitely a misfire by the yudansha. Kensetsu-geri are no joke, lucky his knee wasn't fully busted, it happens far easier than you might think
I know this video is several years old but mad respect. I just took my 1st kyu test a few weeks ago and the start is easy but the finish is difficult. By the end I could hardly stand and just wanted to fall over. Yet I remained and stood throwing everything I had until it the buzzer sounded. I hope this guy continued because he showed great determination and spirit. Osu!
The spinning heel kick to the back of the knee was dirty. Black belts should know better than that. The blue belt is obviously not a fighter and it shows. It is obvious he has no experience even sparring. He is winded when that black belt hits him in the back of the knee. Completsly unneccessary. The guy is so winded he just becomes everyone's punching bag. He isn't learning anything from this. I have zero respect for anyone that does this to non fighters and those with no real sparring experience.
I'm also a Kyokushin Karateka, in my Yellow Belt. This video is surely a good video to watch, reminds me how my seniors train me for Kumite like this. ❤
Not any more unfortunately,. I moved to Boulder Colorado, and several of the other black belts ended up relocating as well. We shared the dojo with a Goju Ryu school but they closed everything down. OSU!
@ShihanTomCallahan awwww man that sucks i really e Want to get into Kyokushin i appreciate it thanks ill keep looking i live in san jose California myself. OSU
I'm confused why this guy is testing to go from blue to yellow. Although I stopped training in Kyokushin some 20 years ago, doesn't the belt system still go: white, yellow, orange, green, blue, brown, and black? (I made it to blue back in the day). Did the system change since then? Or maybe the testee here forgot his belt and someone lend him his/hers for his exam?
yes he still trains in other disciplines now, but he always tells me what he learned form those years carries into all his other endeavors. I moved from LA to Boulder, so I was unable to teach him.
@@ShihanTomCallahan Ahh ok. Training in Kyokushin defintely carries over into your life. After all, it isn't a sport but a way of life. All the best to you and your students Shihan. OSU!!
