I didn't know this event even existed. It's like the lower body version of Power Slap
Месяц назад
and way way way much better. Hate me but power slap doesn't even require professional athleticism and mannerism which ends up in some fuck'd up situations
@@rockoorbe2002you can clearly see the people here got more technique and are more fit, the slap guys dont know how to fight and are fat. This is way better you can see it takes more technique and training.
The conditioning of kyokushin is unmatched. As a 2nd Dan n training kyokushin for 30years I get challenged by guys half my age trying to with stand my low kicks ,usually by the 2nd kick they screwed. Most of them are mma n kickboxing dudes lol.
I come from an Enshin karate background, it's an offshoot of Kyokushin, like Ashihara. You'll notice that the Kyokushin practitioners turn their thigh into the kick so the low kick hits more toward the front of the quads. It helps protect the sciatic nerve.
@@PistolsPlayground 100%, some thai fighters do same.. Including the last-sec downturn to dev torque inyo the leg blow. I still remember the delivery and pain from it
We trained a similar kick in wing chun but it's a bit more brutal. You do the same hip rotation that the 2 Tajik guys were doing then drop your body weight down onto the contract point while opening the knee joint slightly. I've heard of legs breaking. Even through a kick bag it's no joke if the person is good.
This is a normal thing in Kyokushin training. Not only are they more practiced at causing pain but theyre better at bracing. Notice the Kyo athletes also change the angles of their legs when they brace so the kick doesnt land on the same spot every time.
@@mytube9182 low kick requires more technique and training. You see the low kickers are all actually fighters and all in shape while the power slappers are not fighters and the champions are all fat.
True. The way I'm taught is that you are turning & dropping the weight a bit so that the shin is cutting and digging into the target. So, yea. In and down for me
yes i think when the downward kicks are placed good they hurt way more. i do think they do less dmg. i can take several hard kicks during sparring and eating the pain but nexst day i will have trouble walking. But we have one tall guy who hits those downward kicks perfect 3 good kicks and iam out cant even stand on my legg for a min feels like my legg is falling off but nexst day no problem. maby its because the other kicks hurt less you can take more but the trade off is more dmg
i can see there's a difference in technique. The angle of the kicks seem different for the karatekas and the way they receive the kick changes the same receiving angle
Very interesting thanks for posting this, when I was a kid in the 70's they televised some karate matches and I still remember seeing Howard Jackson of the Chuck Norris team fighting a guy and all that guy did was kick him in the side of the thigh, within a few rounds Howard could barely stay on his feet he could barely keep one of his feet on the ground even, it seemed like a lost fight he could barely stand when Howard suddenly landed a punch that KO'd his opponent. I was just a boy and this was so impressive that I still remember it
There are 3 types of low kicks: one that goes from up to down more common in muay thai, there is the one that goes the other around, from bottom to top direction more common in karate styles, and there is the one that hits the back of the tigh also used alot in karate or fighters like Jose Aldo
This is exactly like watching thsoe boxes back in the late 1800s, early 1900s, smacking each other in their faces until one drops. It's not a question of skill. It's a question of endurance.
The chopping style leg kick is more typical of Dutch or traditional Muay Thai? I cannot remember ever seeing a kyokushin or any knockdown karate stylist kicking that way.
I agree, allowing the fight to continue after three kicks to the knee, deliberate or not shouldn't happen. The knee won't know the difference and a ligament tear is not less likely to occur because a powerful kick isn't deliberate. It should be first kick, then a warning and the second kick, elimination. These are high level martial artists, it shouldn't be too much to hold them to high standards.
A low kick hurts more when you aim it down wards, because then you hit with gravity. Same with punching, if you can hit a down angle, it is more effective
@@4EverAwesomness92 too much imagination 💭 watching animation No such thing as hurts more a solid low kick you drop and won’t be able to even say it hurts
Some info an Ashihara Karate: It's a style of Karate built off the Kyoukushin system by Hideyuki Ashihara that incorporates other martial arts styles with a focus on street fighting (theoretically should be really good but kyoukushin is just more popular)
In Yaw Yan style Filipino kickboxing the kicks are angled downwards like the machete used in kali. Slicing backhands are also used to trap and bring down guards, same with the kicks as they all arc downwards to pull the guard down. But it also hurts pretty bad when it hits your leg like that
@@slee2695 yeah it’s a style developed during Vietnam war by combining Silat, Muay Thai, Savate, and Karate together I believe in 1971. Pretty cool style where all the strikes are angles downwards to cut into the opponents rib cage and gaurd
Yo that buttocks kinda really works, I was training one time and this dude was going aggressive on me and he was overpowering me but he kicked me somehow I didn't even block he just jam his toe on my glute and got hurt.
You want to aim slightly downward from outside the best is just slightly above the knee 😅. I got one 2 weeks ago and till now waking up at night from naming feeling (slightly torn ligaments) - received 70% from Olympic karateke with Shinkiokushin official shinpads during friendly sparring (i him him 70% inside kick before but with very thick Muithai training shinpads).
3:56 The low kick is stronger when the body's weight drops into it. As the kick gets higher, the kick needs to fundamentally change for more power. I think taller people would be at an advantage in this situation. They're doing two fundamentally different kicks.
That was much more interesting than power slap lol. The kyokushin practitionners had obviously much better low kicks. Better technique, faster and more powerful. I would be very curious to see them against nak muays and see who wins.
in K1 Francisco Filho World Champion of Kyokushin fighted against Peter Aerts World Champion of Muay Thai the Lumberjack they have a Beautiful Kicks fight.
A thought about the referee work for this: The ref can see knee kicks very clearly from one player, but not the other, because of what side of the leg the ref is standing on.
You definitely want to kick slightly downward. When you brace yourself you stand with your leg angled forward. A kick from below will glance off, and even a kick coming in perfectly horisontally will meet the leg at an angle. But if you lift your kick up and kick down into the leg you get a much better force transfer into the meat, and it's easier to put more of your body weight into i. It was weird how many of these competitors didn't seem to have practiced that.
In answer to your question, you want to chop down on the kick for greater weight and penetration. The triangular arc of the chop down adds more torque as well.
The conditioning of kyokushin is unmatched. As a 2nd Dan n training kyokushin for 30years I get challenged by guys half my age trying to with stand my low kicks ,usually by the 2nd kick they screwed. Most of them are mma n kickboxing dudes lol. look the point of a gedan in reality is to break the joint ultimately...now to harness this power and kicks to tyres cause microfractures of the shin, that coupled with pinpoint striking towards the centre of the thigh but grating it downwards is the key factor. However one aspect of mas oyama philosophy behind this kick is to use excessive speed all coupled in one, it takes time but trust me i have fun doing it. But doing it to a fellow kyok fighter is frightening.
The match between two girls is amazing. I think the only difference is the MMA girl was very loose in her whole left leg, that make her more sustainable.
My guess on aiming downwards is for turning your hip more or getting more whip on the kick ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I've definitely tried aiming "down" before to get more hip turn.
Dutch were ahead of their time when their style of kickboxing was created. Thai boxers would load up on their kicks, Dutch were generating the same amount of power but quicker & more efficient thanks to Kyokushin

This obviously requires more skill than the power slaps, you can see the people here are actually mma and karate masters and very athletic while the power slap guys are fat and arent even fighters. Probably being overweight helps to not get knocked out for a reason. But the power slap guys would get beaten in real fights while low kick guys are real fighters and that settles it.
When I was doing karate, my teacher would hit us with a Filipino stick as punishment. The blows were strong, but nothing that would stop you from training or cause you great damage. One day my uniform didn't dry and I was wearing sports clothes made of very thin, waterproof-type fabric. Obviously, he hit me with the Filipino stick for not wearing a uniform, but this time it hurt and burned my soul since the karategui is made of thick and heavy fabric. The blows hurt me for almost a month and remained marked even longer. I love karate and I know that it can be effective against any martial art, but to be honest, I think that the uniform played a big part in this.
For the girls, the height difference made it so that the shorter girl had to throw a round house kick instead of a low kick in order to not strike the taller girl's knee
Muay Thai fighters are better at actual fighting. Leg kicks aren't necessarily the best thing about them. In actual Muay Thai, you don't see them often because fighters aren't dumb enough to tank them lol.
@@cahallo5964there was literally 1 no-name Muay Thai guy and that couldn't proof anything, maybe bring someone like Superlek and see how it goes next time
@@nonon0n0o a no name guy on a local amateur event?!! woah no way bro let's also bring back Filho from retirement and Andy Hug from the grave while we are at it
Muay thai defence for low kicks is about lifting the foot and defending with the shin. Those Muay Thai guys had no idea how to brace for impact. The Kyokushin guy was bracing correctly, lowering stance, firming feet and advancing a bit to soften the incoming kick. Also, the Kyokushin guys was way more precise and effective with his hits while the other guys where hitting with the foot or way too high on the leg or at the waist.
I imagine tall girl had to kick down to hit the shorter woman’s thigh. I’d wonder if there is any strategy to alter your stance depending on the angle the kicks are coming from. It seems like a kick would have more impact if it’s coming down perpendicular to the thigh than it would at a different angle but maybe you also need to preserve your shin by not kicking too directly. I don’t know, maybe you can interview a Kyokushin kicker.
Challenging Karate Kyokushin to a kicking competition is like challenging a Pro Boxer to a Punching competition or an Elite Wrestler to a Takedown competition.
Lady in kykushin was definitely better after the 3 warnings but the MMA lady should've got a warning because she was just as close to the knee on Kykoshin lady 🧐
"Tu dojo de karate", one of the best Kyokushin-related RU-vidrs in spanish language, uploaded a video few minutes ago a new video talking about this (the video is called 'LOWKICK CHAMPIONSHIP | 🦵LKC 002🦵 | TAJIKISTAN | *Full Event* | 18- 08 - 2024'), and how it was covered about many people all over the world. He even mentioned you briefly, lol. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WySufCaFmdo.html minute 1:01
I have very mixed feelings about this. Don't like the idea of people competing in who's willing to sacrifice more health😖 Yet I cannot deny, as a martial artist seeing these is educational - it's like the purest form of a scientific experiment
I have a yellow belt in kyokyoshin and now training muye Thai for some time , These guys are tough as nails , We literally practice bare knuckle kicks , punches to the body all day everyday, Its easy work for kyokyoshin guys but lacks of head punches threw me of , In real mma would dominate kyokyoshin
The Kyokushin girl is shorter and her low kicks can only reach the knee of her opponent. She probably has not practiced kicking higher than that, and kicking the side or back of the knee may be allowed in karate sparting.
