Former black belt of Shotokan. Current orange belt of Kyokushin. I need some critique on my technique.





Thanks all!
 
Oh man, I thought it was spacetime again... :D Luckily it's not.

So, why'd ya switch from Shotokan to Kyo? Not enough bruising? :D

Also, looks like you're in India. Not a country with the best athletes unfortunately, which is also kinda evident in the 2nd video, though maybe it was just supposed to be a low intensity practice session.

Technique-wise I'll let other answer as my experience in Kyokushin is minimal. But looks fine in a general sense. More hip is always a thing.

Yup. Also not enough of literally everything else.

Who/what is spacetime?

Haha I think I know what You mean, I went from Shotokan to trying virtually all the arts in town: Kyokushin, Sanda, boxing, Judo, Aikido, BJJ, Tai Chi... each was fun and felt like levelling up, making me super well rounded... until I joined an actual MMA gym and got my ass handed to me. :D

spacetime was/is a user who often spams this subforum with very short clips of himself doing a puch or kick, asking for feedback and proceeds to quarrel with anyone who disagrees with him. A local troll. Been banned a few times and keeps coming back. Take note. ;]

This is definitely true about most martial arts. However, I am not someone who is in this for fighting. I'm more interested in the conditioning, the philosophy, and the kata (which I love).

Who was the guy who used to get picked on alot?
Not Spacetime, but another guy who would post kung fu videos of himself. Seemed like a good enough dude... but, just left himself open to the insults.

Actually posted videos of himself in .... I think China.
Now that I think of it, I think it was Wing Chun that he was a big proponent for.
 
Out of everyone there you kept your hands the lowest. I would fix that FIRST. Hands at least under your chin.

Your punch combos are good. Your kicks are always singles. Mix them up. Front kick, 4 punches, then low kick.

speedboy or something like that
 
The sparring intensity was too low.

Shadow boxing - use more wrist strengthening excercises.

You are sort of there just a little bit more full body integration. Just get stronger overall is my advice.

Can I have a sparribg video of you ?

I respect his video more than any of yours. I thought it looked good within the rule set. Hands are low as head kicks are rare. But a head kick ends fights. Looked good overal.
 
Am I the only one thinking the sparring intensity was fine ? They started slow but ramped up a bit in the end. And it's only an orange belt test so they don't need to do it 100 man kumite style.

I like kyokushin. Fascinates me. The specific ruleset gives specific stances and flow. And breeds extremely t are the best self to ough fighters when it comes to body shots.

But boy as someone who box a little it is hard seeing people with their head so open to punches like that.

Or Kyokushin is watered down like every other karate system.

Any sport that has full contact competition rules will always remain relevant. Kyokushin is one of those.

It's a low belt grade test, I think light sparring is fine. Just my opinion for what it's worth.

Never seen a hobbyist post hard sparring footage in his kyokushin school. So consider me suspicious

FYI @Intermission is spacetime's most recent account.
And he's still doing the same shit.
I put him on ignore, highly recommended.
