Where's the Hate?

[The Wastrel]

For all the style-bashing that goes on here, why is it that Kyokushin is almost universally revered by people from both sides of the fence? You never see, and will never see, serious threads like this:

"Kyokushin Unproven in NHB"

"Kyokushin Head Kicks: Gay or Super-Gay?"

"Kyokushin has no Ground-Fighting. WTF?! Gay?"

"Kyokushin 'Stylist' Beaten At Promise Keepers Meeting"

Etc. Etc.

So why is it that Kyokushin is the only style that seems to truly bridge the gap between us all, and bring us together as one?

The answer: Because each side can point to it equally as a validation of their point. It supports the MMA camp because it employs their specific training recommendations and requirements, and the TMA camp because they wear gis (without ground-fighing, TMA people HATE groundfighting, whether you bow or not) bow, kick and stuff.

In conclusion: Kyokushin=super sweet.

That's just the sort of thing a kyokushin ***** would say before getting ground and pounded.

Whatever Wastrel, the guy getting his ass kicked on the Big Momma video clip is a Kyokushin instructor!!!

You can't make a man by standing a sheep on its hindlegs but if you get a group of men together you can create a herd of sheep.

Look at this, trying to rabble-rouse. I'm not a Kyokushin guy. I was just noticing the phenomenon.

middle of the road I guess.

fighting ten people for your black belt isnt it?

and you can use it for hunting bovines. I certainly wouldnt want to try "sticky hooves" or "leather ripping" "hoof bars" or any other martial style variation when Im after a nice juicy steak in the middle of a paddock.

horn lock? tail yank?
i doubt you could leg bar properly

the blade windu links look good, if you really want to see some nasty stuff, go to www.ogrish.com, real snuff vids for download.
"dark and gruesome links" (google search it) is another wonderful resource for such material

Hmm, I wonder what would be the largest animal I could KO with a single punch.

I'm guessing badger, maybe young deer.

Osiris, well its getting more difficult these days, especially after watching paul vunaks biting and eye gouging video, he's more "cannibal" than "animal".
