Kyokushin Karate

I've been out of training for about 6-8 months (I practice Muay Thai). I decided to try something new to get back into a training routine and went to a Kyokushin Karate class. Very impressed. It's tournament fighting I heard was full contact and the tactics somewhat similar to Muay Thai ones.

It also has the traditional side of it which I think looks interesting. Kata, some emphasis on bushido principles etc.

Anyway...I want to hear other opinions on it so please... contribute if you have one.

Dude thats awesome. I used to study Tae Kwon Do. I gave up though. I hoping to do something different, TKD didn't really feel like my kind of martial art.

"Krav Maga (Hebrew: contact combat) is a military hand-to-hand combat system developed in Israel which emphasizes threat neutralization, often in a 'him-or-me' context. Krav Maga originated in the 1930s. Imi Lichtenfeld, its primary founder, fled Czechoslovakia to the British Palestine Mandate, now Israel, where it was further developed by the defence forces. There are several organisations teaching variations of Krav Maga internationally."

Ah I see... cool

Hello

I write it in translation with the machine.

karate is a martial art born in Okinawa.
It reached the Japanese mainland in the 19th century.

Japanese karate had a rule called "SUNDOME". This is a rule to stop a punch on only this side doing hit to the body of the partner.

It is Kyokushin to have criticized the rule.
It is karate which a Korean naturalized in Japan made.

The taekwondo was made based on Japanese SYOUTOUKAN karate.
It was made by the Korea soldier who learned karate in Japan in 1948.

It having much showy movement to attract attention to be different from karate in taekwondo. The taekwondo does not respect etiquette.
