For me the most frustrating people to spar were Kyokushin, judo, and boxing. The judokas with their sweeps and throws The boxers with their head movement and counters The kyokushin folks with those kicks, and they're so relaxed when fighting that it's hard to rattle them

@@markbowen8461 Mma fighters are the most effective at mma 🤷‍♂ who could have guessed. But there are plenty of actual martial arts with all of those aspects and more. And I’m about 60% water.

Kickboxing match with small glove looks fun& Though,i want to see it more🧐🔥

@asianconnection7701 8 днів тому

i wish they had small gloves when i was growing up, these 8 oz gloves is so uncomfortable and it's hard as hell to throw como with it if you are a fast fighter by nature, 8 oz gloves is only useful for slow people with no foot work.

Akimoto's uniquely Japanese atmosphere is similar to that of MMA fighter Kyoji Horiguchi.

@ShinM. День тому

Their similarities come from a shared strong Karate background, not their shared ethnicity,

I would like to say one thing. He is not a Kyokushin Karate legend and is not well known.

@joereynolds475 4 дні тому

If kyokoshin trained head punches they'd definetly be one of the best striking arts. They'd stand with muay Thai, boxers or even lethwei cos of the bareknuckles and their beast conditioning

@ppo2424 11 годин тому

We do train head punches in the dojo, but dont use them in competition because we fight breknuckle s you said. They used to do it but there was too much damage being done. I wouldn't object if they used MMA type gloves in competition though.

The right straight at 6:55 I think was the precursor to the knock down a few seconds after.

@ohajijoiner4301 11 днів тому

Akimoto has great precision and Tonna was slightly behind but definitely needed more volume with his hands.

@zenbear9952 11 днів тому

He just didn't have the range or couldn't tell what his range was. He kept having to get in close and eat stuff from akimoto to do anything

Kyokushin Karate doesn't have punches to the face as though he didn't learn punches to the face and only using karate attacks🤣🤣 Akimoto isn't used to being punched in the face .🤣🤣 Isn't he a kick boxer and muay Thai fighter/mma fighter?

@penttikoivuniemi2146 День тому

Yeah, I don't get why commentators always get a hard-on for Kyokushin. Much of what he did in this match was clear Muay Thai, the only Kyokushin-specific technique he throws is the high roundhouse kick. Although to be honest, both styles have nearly identical basic punches so maybe you could say his punches come from Kyokushin originally.

@digdug23 День тому

@penttikoivuniemi2146 Yeah, he originally started in karate, but he started doing kicked boxing and Muay thai before he fought in this. They act as though he straight out of karate school fighting this dude.
