Lyoto Machida Teaches Karate ! 

If he wasn't Lyoto Machida, some idiots would be in the comments section saying, "this won't work in MMA!"

His gym is clean. Anyone with a combat gym please learn from this design. Environment and colors is very important for learning better and quicker.

Karate is well and alive.

Wish Lyoto much success in his life beyond UFC 🥋🔥

I'd listen to everything he says because he has used his ability in real fights.

I ve trained both karaté & kickboxing/muay thaï since 1994, i can say everything is good if you train correctly in a good dojo/gym with good partners and good teacher. I think those who compare karaté and kickboxing/thaï boxing or mma are just idiots , they surely never tried them once. I met very dangerous guy from these disciplines and i respect all of them.

Modern day Shotokan, not the older form is a fantastic striking art which blends well with other arts. In Machida's case Sumo and BJJ. It's strategy of controlling the Maai and Sabaki or the distance and movement is developed to a high degree. Muay Thai and by extension Kyokushin Karate uses more powerful techniques ( a lot of which they copied from the Thais after getting their butts handed to them in some friendly matches). Although they practice Maai and Sabaki they seem to prefer to just walk straight through and destroy their opponents. But their weakness at least in the case of Kyokushin, is they don't practice head movement at all and walk in with their heads upright and vulnerable to strikes. Shotokan is more like a western boxer who waits for the perfect time and distance to set up his opponent for attacks and counters. Look at Manny Pacquiao and you will see a similar entry and attacking motion. Shotokans weakness is their choice of weaker strikes especially in the kicking area. Kyokushin Karate although derived from Mas Oyama's study of both Goju and the older style of Shotokan and Korean Tae Kwan Do has a very different strategy one more similar to Muay Thai with whom they are now more competitive and similar with. Muay Thai is really a sport derived from the Thai martial Art Muay Boran which is more war like as they also incorporate weapons in their training, But Muay Thai as a hand to hand fighting style is devastating. Their concept of 8 limbs allows for more techniques to bring to a stand up fight, They have also developed a stance and body movement which is more balanced and leads to less falling when they strike than Karate. But their weakness is also their stance and body movement which restricts their ability to handle more dynamic fighters like a Michael Page or Raymond Daniels or more recently a Tenshin Nasukawa. And they are very vulnerable to spinning and back kicks unless they prepare a strategy against the fighter using those techniques. Machida has developed a style which combines the distance and movement control of Shotokan with the power striking of Kyokushin and Muay Thai and added Sumo and BJJ to cover those flanks. I would choose him over any pure Muay Thai or pure Kyokushin fighter in an MMA style match as he proved against Sam Greco , Kyokushin and Michael Mcdonald , Canadian kickboxer. Both K1 level fighters. And if he chooses to keep the tradition of practicing his style's Kata how can you judge it as ineffective. It seems to work for him and other fighters like GSP who's striking background is Kyokushin,

The real Ryu from street fighter!

Lyoto Machida o melhor karateca do Brasil de todos os tempos.

Tive a honra de participar de um curso em 2016 com o mestre Yoshizo Machida aqui em MG,muito bom e aproveitoso grande mestre oss.

Aqui em Belém-Pa há uma academia Machida, treino Karatê, e vi algumas vezes esse Mestre (pai de Lyoto Machida)

Porque lyoto esta con la camiseta de colo colo?

Esse é o cara no karate mito brasileiro

It's so cool that this shit actually works, and that against high level fighters too

What an awesome kata performance. A true karate master.

OSSSS!

Karate had elbows,knee,takedowns and they put some judo in their techniques at one point karats can be effective it depends on user

Nice kata

Tentando entender kata ombro ok encadeado , tipo vai junto o ombro no movimento do conjunto

Where is this dojo?

Ty you made my son interested in karate 🥋. He always picks your character in the 🎮 game, I hate it and everyone else hates it too... He's too good with your character, but lately I found a hustle... I play him and tell him to keep losing to me then I bring friends around and I play him then I bet them saying they can't beat him... They think they can because they see me beat him... He just destroys everyone I've taken over 300$ just off of betting on him to win... Capitalism

Esse cara é muito brabo

1:25, is he wearing capris?

Real Master

Machida con la polera de Colo Colo 👊

Com todo respeito Lyoto mas n intendi pq vc está de karat-gi c uma bebida branca e c corte na lateral?

Some People's Thoughts... Before Watching This Video: Karate doesn't work in a real fight and in MMA!! After Watching This Video: Wait WHAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTT!!!!

Is that Chinzo Machida 0:58?

Sochin. Osu!

Muito bom

Wanna hear the gi snaps

People who know nothing about karate always have the dumbest opinions on it. Karate is a real martial art and when it is taught correctly it is extremely effective for self defense and sports alike.

Strike first strike hard no mercy

OSS

Sochin. :)

what is that little dance that lyoto is doing in the beginning of the video?

Jin Kazama

Why isn't he in a horse stance throwing reverse punches??

he speaks Niponggo?

I believe that kata is called Heian Nidan. Correct me if wrong.

It is an awesome video! I also have some karate videos. It is gonna be fun for you to watch. Check it out!

Does he know japanese

Lyoto ... awesome only .. hate to.... but the back leg in zen hibachi is not straight... don't get mad.. God Bless

For another reason for selfdefence...the leathel ones has belongs TAEKWONDO..

せいてきぎゃくたい　おきなわ　なかだし　にんしん　ぐらふ　だたい　ただしい

machidas karate kata moves has got him knocked out more than once and he didn't do that good in ufc once people figured out his style he got smashed, kata didn't help then

His moves and hands work is awesome, but kicks are on zero level. No speed, no power, no flexibility, no accuracy at all. If he could perform at least mavashi geri like Mirko Filipovic, he could be unbeatable. Although his mae geri in last fight with Vitor, was brilliant, but still it doesnt make him a good kicker.

this wont work in mixe martial arts.

Lyoto in kata dont bend the leg behind. Senkutsudachi. Usse

katas are stupid and demonic, serve no purpose except a bit of a workout, fighting imaginary attackers does not make you better at fighting it makes you better at katas and having an imagination, machida isn't good because he does kata, he is good because he trains and has genetic skills, kata won't make you worse as a fighter, and it may help a bit for balance and muscle tone but you could do so many different training that has better bang for the buck and better use for time. How do I know? I have been training in martial arts for 30 years, 6th dan black belt and has done thousands of hours of kata, take 2 guys with similar skill sets, get one guy to train 2 hours a day on specific fighting techniques and the other guy only 1 hour of fighting techniques and 1 hour kata, when it's time to fight you will see who has the better skills.

Only problem with his kata... he moved before her looked. Look, cross, move, and strike/block etc.

The worst kata performance ever ! 😅 but a very good fighter 🙂

He is a great champion, but I feel disappointed. It sems to me a poor kata exhibition. Great mae geri but his technique, in my personal opinion, is lacking.

no

Че-то больше половины вещей не работает в его боях )))

karate solo es para pelicula machida no es un buen peleador. y el karate es algo tonto y para stupidos

壮鎮か。 形はイマイチだね

Lyoto Macheater!

but Karate is not effective on the street haha

if only his ground game was better

He is a noob even as a Karate practitioner. That is why JJ was able to beat him. And now I confirmed it. hmmmmm

seems pretty damn useless to me. muay thai dominates all stand up striking

this wont work in mixe martial arts.
