KYOKUSHIN KARATE Meets Kickboxing 🥋🥊 Hiroki Akimoto vs. Josh Tonna 

Akimoto

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

@@kayjay8077 naw it's a different sport bro. If that's the case then allow grappling and takedowns too. Make it MMA

@@markmessi9020 Kickboxing and muay thai aren’t so different. They can be merged into one sport

Then muay thai would be more effective and realistic

Kickboxing is karate. It was made to counter Muay Thai by the Japanese

Japanese kickboxing wouldn’t of existed without Muay Thai. If there were elbows, this might be different

@@ola_eboda kickboxing is the mix of western style boxing and kyokushin karate that’s why u see a lot of kickboxers that throw a lot of boxing combinations have good hands fast and beautiful footwork and a arsenal of kicks

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.

@@YTPrule ur exactly right , I was actually wrong there for a minute this comment made me do a lil research and ur right there’s a lot of more kickboxing styles where they meet each other u know ur stuff man thanks for the info.

Was really inspiring when I got up from body kick in rnd 3

I found out a long time ago that lean aesthetic muscle means nothing in a mma fight. There's some phat phuckers that have a lot strength and endurance out there.

@@thetreekeeper143 Those fat people probably have lean muscle underneath. If you build your muscle bulky like weight lifters, you won't get much power but you get most power from fast twitch muscle which doesn't show as well.

@@thetreekeeper143 Lean muscle means something what are you talking about. Research lean muscles first before saying its nothing, all mma fighters have lean muscles that help them in every way in mma.

@@leem0401 the bro science is real in this comment section lmfao, "bulky muscles" and "fast twitch muscle"??

@@leem0401 ik what it is but thinking that you can distinguish those from "bulky muscle fibers" is straight up monday-at-the-gym bro science

Used to in K-1 when that was around back in the day

@@kenshiro7960 I remember karatekas in their sleeveless gi during K1. And of course blue eyed samurai, Andy Hug 👏👏👏👏

Tenshin nasakawa has a kyokushin background

Becuz it's kickboxing

I think they get too much publicity. The style is not pracitcal

Fr you can see he was worn the tf out before the 2nd round was halfway through, idk how he managed to find the strength to finish the fight

He is a beast

You fully right. First minute i thought he looks weak, but he isnt. Fighters heart. Respect.

Looked like a mae geri to me

Karate in practice is pretty much kickboxing

@@tylerlynch2796 the other way around. American style kb comes from shotokan I believe. Dutch style comes from Kyokushin.

@@Stewiehleba yup

@@tylerlynch2796 It depends.

youtube has a slowmotion button

@@TheMylittletony LOL yeah mate I know that! but it's a bit choppy so it's nowhere near as good as when it has been edited in, thanks though for trying to be helpful.

🤣

No way.....UFC different level

Send someone from one championship to meet khamzat chimeah or Islam machaew Charles Olivera or anyone else don't talk big

@@southtxguitarist8926 did you know meaning of mma

@@southtxguitarist8926 then you know now UFC based on mix martial art MMA ..of course everything there in MMA fight including grappling striking and all that .....when they announce fighter firts by name then go for country then there martial art .....understand

@@capemaari5969 there are very few UFC fighters close to this level of striking....khazmat would get destroyed in one in pure kickboxing lol

Attacking the flanks Traditional Copied Guaranteed

true

They are basically kickboxers with armored bodies and fuckin hell kicks

@Abinanta Maheswara It depends on the tournament but usually no.

@Abinanta Maheswara they don't do in tournaments but they can train in the gym, most of Kyokushin praticioners mix It up with some kickboxing, specially If he want to compete in kickboxing or MMA.

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.

@@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.

True

No one in the martial arts community bashes kyokushin or whatever you said. Everyone recognizes it as powerful. They get knocked out easy cuz they don’t punch to the face, that simple

Yes

True

That's more back in the day it's changed so much now

@@mmgx4895 Yea, now it's an umbrella term to basically include any MA with kicking and punching😆

Difieren mucho como para considerarlos una misma arte marcial.

@@christianrodriguez7749 estan vinculados, si te ves combates de Kickboxing en japon tu veras que los peleadores usar karate patadas, golpes y movimientos con golpes del boxeo tambien

Please say Kyokushin cause if you just say karate most ignorant people will think of shotokan point fighting lol

@@crisalcantara7671kyokushin is karate so stfu

@@camilopalma1223 yeah, we know you have to make that distinction avoid people being ignorant.

You can hear the "whip" that kick generated

@@Ethozel Definitely. Tonna's brain would have activated screen saver if that had landed(!) Great contest from two phenomenal martial artists 👏🏻

Yes it looks like Tekken or Street Fighter games

​@@sashasiobud4793 jin kazama from tekken had ryu narushima kyokushin champion as the motion capture

​@@sashasiobud47937:00 i agree, some moveset of akimoto was similar to kazuya mishima of tekken.

I’ve never seen a good wing chun fighter win a fight

​@@x-rohtrolls7130or any other style of Kung fu for that matter!

Yeah, because Kyokushin is the father of Kickboxing

Which one??

@@davidjones8043 bruh it say josh tonnas

bruh the kickbocing fighter didnt using his hand

@@sahalrizky261 So many hand strikes were exchanged in just the first 40 seconds, so I can't help it but think you're blind.

They’re are only so many ways to throw a punch and kick🤣 everything looks the same on some level

Karate is technically kickboxing. Any art with punches and kicks are counted as kickboxing

@@kermit1211 with Locks, projections, grappling

Kickboxing is karate

@bo xer still looks like kick boxing

@@viktor7208 and karate is tan shou do , tan shou do is from kung fun...still doesn't change the fact that karate is kick boxing
