@shinkyoku did you follow the Sabaki Challenge 2016? I only found one match on video.

I did not know you can grab the jacket and go for takedowns. I never seen that before. Those leg kicks look brutal. How do you stop those body punches? Without gloves it looks like the fists can sneak in much easier.

I've always wanted to train Enshin. There is a dojo about 10 miles away from where I live.

It's hard to get good body punches in when your opponent doesn't have to worry about you punching their head.

Really? from the matches I have seen, it still seems pretty prevalent. They get in really close, and start wacking away. The blocker has no time to react.

And as you can see in those matches, the punches landed usually have little impact.

In most Kyokushin variant matches. Kicks are the main weapon.
