I respect what kudo guys do, you have to give respect where it's due, but from a kyokushin stand point, some of these guys have really bad technical problems, poor positioning, no sense of coordinated footwork or movement - it's non existant, barely any strategy or thought almost all of them brawl - it's more appalling though how many Kudo guys have such poor understanding of balance, you'd think it would be even more important because of the nage-waza, even some of the techniques thrown here and there are pretty poor from a techical stand-point, there's quite alot of stuff that's really shoddy especially overall defense and especially how nothing is put together well stand up wise but then again I've never fought in a Kudo tournament, so maybe it's different when it actually comes down to it.
However I'm more inclined to believe it's the result of the style - daido juku - this is why I'm not a fan of hybrid styles, if some of these guys had learnt judo & kyokushin separately.....I mean the founder Takashi Azuma learnt both separately...
I feel like I'm going on a rant here, but I feel strongly about this I suppose, since I do Kyokushin and picked up Judo (and probably going to pick up yiquan/taikkiken), the way I combine the two looks very different & isn't so aggressive, a good example is Katsunori kikuno, same arts but execution looks completely different.
