I think the “special something” about Kyokushin is that it prioritises and rewards shear aggression and forceful movement, This development of aggression then translates effortlessly into reality based self defence where aggression is the key.

I have to get in on this idea, after 35 years in martial arts and I studied a variety of different styles but the older I get and the cumulative damage I have sustained has helped me whittle it down to about 3 different main styles: my main style is Okinawan Goju Ryu (though we do all 3 forms of sparring (point, kyukushin barehanded rules, and gloved mma style), Daito Ryu Aikijitsu (Aikido but with strikes and actual damaging techniques), and Bagua Zhang (for the movement and the option to be passive while staying safe and managing distance).

This is awesome to see, Ilan reacting and grading his own styles . Can’t wait to see his breakdown and commentary of Bajiquan, since he’s paid plenty of respect to traditional Chinese martial arts. Since you like Kyokushin and Kudo, I wonder if you’re interested in checking the Okinawan side; like Goju Ryu. I’d like to know his thoughts on the training regiment, forms, conditioning and sparring. For me, my styles are Goju Ryu karate, Bajiquan and capoeira. Goju Ryu is my main one and will always be my first; Bajiquan is a very close second due to the close in-fighting and because I always loved TCMAs; Capoeira because the flow and athleticism of it are always amazing, plus I enjoy the music

This is one of my favorite videos from you. The only martial art I'm training right now is submission grappling (Nogi but with a GREAT emphasis on wrestling), but your points on BJJ are absolutely valid. My three favorite styles are Capoeira, Wrestling (in general), and Inayan Eskrima. It's funny that you mention the value of the long range in FMA. Nowadays, my only opportunity to train FMA is with my dad, but we find that the long range and the empty hand techniques are some of the most rewarding.

My first and favourite was Steven Cheas Advanced TKD during the 80's in Aus. We had 2 Kyokishin fighters who would train with us as the closest Kyokishin dojo was 370ks away. One of them was my cousins boyfriend (Shane Whittington) who became an Aus champion. Steven Cheas TKD remained untouched by the Olympic rule set. My next was Yun Jung Do which was developed as a non competitive non contact self defence system system focusing on flexibility, speed, timing and practical techniques. Unfortunately it fell flat on its face after the first 9 to 10yrs as a incomplete system thanks to the Grandmaster and his love of money. BJJ would be my be my next. I started learning grappling at 48yrs of age at a local CrossFit gym for about 7 weeks then moved to BJJ in the Local Fight Club gym, got into my 2nd week and rolled with a Blue belt, was injured and had to stop training. Was not allowed back until I was healed, unfortunately during that time the club closed, there were other Fight Clubs in the area unfortunately 100's of kms between. I also really liked Goju Ryu.

I'd continue with studying and exploring pekiti tersia kali, though I should look into Illustrisimo and learn more about what you're seeing in it (I hadn't really considered it much since I've already been training PTK). I'd like to focus more on silat - either Satria or suffian bela diri because the top-to-ground-to-recovery aspects of silat are so efficient and smooth flowing. Lastly, I'd need to do a ground system but at 50 years old and starting fresh in a ground based style I really need to figure out how to approach that since I've been afraid of getting that damage you're talking about and not being able to recover completely or earning a lasting injury. I'd want something that I can also learn the small circle jiu-jitsu stuff through it. As a fourth, I'd add wing chun just because their sensitivity drills and flows would be great additions to kali and silat, and whatever ground system I would learn.

As for being a little older I can appreciate your understanding of certain traditional arts for their self defense value as well as the longevity in training and health . Nestas Kenpo Karate and Juijitsu offered all of that to me and Shihan Nesta always emphasized this to me . He is a brick shit house with small but fast footwork movement while always knowing how to make yourself plumb just before committing and striking . The striking is a science and every ounce of weight moves with you . That being my root , I've found small circle jiujitsu as a beautiful blend for joint locking throwing and some grappling all with emphasis of getting back to your feet . The controlling and finishing is extremely helpful with my profession and sits perfectly on a Kenpo base. It also shares more realistic aspects of what traditional aikido attempts to do but mostly fails at. A third art blending in perfectly with Kenpo is Wing Chun for its trapping ability , sensitivity training and more practical stances found in Kenpo . The footwork blending with Kenpo can transition and morph into a boxers stance and the footwork can be similar . The plumb alignment in the system align with Kenpo very well . Kenpo is very eclectic and everyone's system can be slightly to greatly different . It's a great system for the street, but like anything else these are only tools that will help only if the mindset has developed warrior wise first .

I highly respect your humility and being so open about whats important to you in training. Im only 29 and still very athletic but the facts are i work 50+ hrs a week hard manual labor and i absolutely cannot afford to be severely injured in the gym ( also i go in after 10-11 hr shifts so im already pretty tired lol😂 ) so now my focus is how do i fight well without getting hurt? Fun fact i almost never get hit hard in the head. Partly cause i train with good guys but also cause i cover up well. I also have never been laid out by being kicked in the groin ( even though i dont wear a cup ) because im hyper aware of that and defend the groin area meanwhile i often see people wearing cups being laid out by an accidental groin strike. When i go to the ground the strikes do not stop ( although theyre normally pretty light ) My big weakness is i instinctively close guard when i should probably be trying to escape, im trying to work on that 😂 My main point was we have to put our training in perspective and focus on how it will best benefit our current life circumstances and im glad you get that and are so upfront about that fact.

Unfortunately a incomplete system due to a self important greedy grand master. Next would be grappling which i practiced in a locall gym for about 7weeks then moved on to BJJ at he local Fight Club gym i was injured rolling with a blue belt within my 2nd week couldn't train for 12 mnths. Unfortunately the club closed by that time and the closest Fight Clubs where 100km away. 200km roundtrip.

Not sure what would be my number 3. I put Krav Maga as my number 1, as it gave me the self defense training I was looking for, that I didn't get from doing sport/ traditional martial arts. For Goju, I just enjoyed the way It teaches about body mechanics and techniques. I would say my fighting style is a mix of Krav Maga and Goju. Maybe a bit of Kickboxing too, but Krav Maga sparring is basically a form of Kickboxing. If I could try out other martial arts, I wouldn't mind trying Kudo, Sambo, Senshido/Richard Dimitri, and Urban Combatives.

Adapting as we age is so important and this makes me think about systems akin to other things I have done that makes sense for longevity. Along these lines there is Savate school in Loredo Texas I have seen online and the buy is a virtual historian of Savate and related disciplines. Buittron Savate De Rue. Apparently he is Basque Texan and 5th generation expert in these related disciplines and trained in France as a fighter . Apparently got an award from government of France for putting back together sport savate, street savate, lutte ( their street wrestling), LA canne. Apparently some savate schools taught some beadwork and he teaches some Basque fighting arts too. Very open minded person. Anyway I have not trained in this but if I was to use your criteria of avoiding injury and longevity I might look at this because you get kicking including low kicks and sweeps in a sort of flowing way with I think less injuries probably.

@@junichiroyamashita Between Karate and Muay Thai kicking methods? Well Karate is variable in the details by style but the common thread is that Karate kicking methods are known for mostly being snappier. Take the round kick Muay Thai doesn't chamber it and instead swings up with proprietary hip engagement and is turned over at the end of the kick and swung into the target. Karate styles meanwhile would lift the leg into a chambered position (the chamber trajectory varying by Karate style) and either with minimal or a degree of hip swing rapidly straighten the knee in a snapping motion often with a equally snappy retraction. Muay thai emphasises more swing and follow through, Karate when going for power either only does this a bit or cuts through but doesn't think of throwing themselves aside or with a spin when they perform the kick (even tho obviously when there's an actual things being hit this is obstructed by the target but the first is to imagine you are kicking through them as you would when you Spin doing it in thin air). The full Kyokushin kick combines the swing and follow through associated with muay thai, as well sometimes some of the extra intial hip engagement with the snap of Karate, extending as the knee is already past the target.

As always I agree and can relate to most of what you say. It's interesting what you have to say about Brazilian Jiu Jitsu because I also was drawn to it as a self defense art and a neutralizing force against other martial arts. I trained at a couple of different Renzo Gracie affiliated schools in 2002 and then in 2005. Back then it already seemed to me to be more about sport, and I felt that at my 155 lbs it would be ineffective as self defense against a bigger wrestler or Judoka. So I gave up! Similar story with Kyokushin. I hated that it didn't address punches to the head and I was just basically going punch for punch against dudes who were almost always bigger than me. It's all interesting, but now I'm a master of nothing! Just been dabbling in shit for forty years. But I'm still trying to find the right thing for me at 56 years old. It's not Tai Chi!

I don’t Spar much anymore since I’m way past 50 years old but it still makes me feel very good. Love the movement and coordination in it. Daitoryu is a beautiful martial art with a myriad of almost Genius techniques. Not very practical but very very interesting to learn. Such a pity i too rarely can go to train it. Mostly do seminars but i enjoy them very much. I did krav maga over 15 years and i still feel it’s my thing. I don’t train it anymore mostly because of the same reasons because i can’t train daitoryu. I missä the old days of krav maga when there was way less techniques and much more straight forward approach. I guess because of those reasons and the schedules my main training is now boxing and swimming. I think the best martial art is the one that makes you feel good and has a training schedule that fits you. Them you can actually train, not just dream about it 🙂

After an entire life of GojuRyu and Shotokan(since I was 6), came kick boxing, boxing, Muay Thai, some taekwondo, etc. In 2016 I wanted to restart in a different way, and train with the idea of just keep learning and keep training. So I keep practicing what I've learned, but Im trying to find the way to practive efficiently a striking oriented art. Wich is where kyokushin style karate and full contact okinawan karate come in hand. I also want and need grappling that is where kudo, judo wrestling and jujitsu come in hand, though karate is supposed to already have that integrated I to it's training syllabus. Then its the weapons thing. Some kobudo is useful for tactical baton practice and juego del palo and Verdadera Destreza(old style fencing). Having my job in mind and only having to name three, it would be. Full Contact Karate. Judo or Jujitsu Kobudo or stick fighting.

I 100% agree about Jiu Jitsu. I love it, but I feel like we have lost something through the years. I’ve never done Kyokushin but I live like 30 minutes from the Enshin HQ and think I may start training there on the days I don’t roll.

Yes, the Ashihara version of Kyokushin for all the reasons you describe, then traditional Kodenkan Judo, the either USA ameteur boxing or a really good Muay Thai gym. For me Brazilian jui-jitusu is awesome but one dimensional, whereas Judo has more as far as grappling and throwing

Ivan Gomes jiu jitsu is more 90s style bjj with more judo throws emphasis as well. Darcio Lira lineage is an offshoot of this style. There are also gracie affilated schools which are more self defense oriented too as well.

I trained BJJ in the ‘90s then got out, practiced Sambo, Judo, and traditional jujitsu in it’s place, I saw a lot of BJJ guys that got crushed in the street, none of my FMA buddies got crushed in the street. The FMA I studied included panatukan and dumog.

The Gentle Way= The Injury away 😂 That is so true, I know so many martial artists with 20+ years of training injury free only to jump into GJJ/BJJ and to get seriously injured they no longer train any martial arts 😮 Illistrisimo has been recommended to me so often! It’s just not massive in U.K. I’d like to also see a illistrisimo, Sayoc & PT styles comparison video.

I'm just training BJJ at the moment. But if were to add 2 more MA to train in now, I would choose boxing and Shuai Jiao. I also started BJJ in the late 90s... but I took a 17 year hiatus and didn't get back into it until about 6 years ago. Now everybody's into leglocks. I still suck at leglocks but trying to get somewhat competent at it. I don't aim to become a leg lock guy. In fact I hate it both guys are spamming leg locks back and forth, LOL..... what about you? Do you mess with the new school leg lock game?

I've trained in different styles (Judo, Wing Chun, Taekwondo, Yang Taijiquan, Combat Hapkido, Krav Maga, and Muay Thai) but lately I've begun learning Kuntao Silat as well as the basics of knife and cane fighting because I find these methods are conducive to me continuing to train and develop my ability to defend myself despite my being disabled. I find that the way they grapple and strike are ways that still work well for me without damaging myself and combines well with the use of a knife and cane. I emphasize the hand strikes and the grappling in particular as they don't rely on me having to pick someone up or having to use Boxing-esque punches, which are difficult for me to do due to the hip and back twisting involved. I chose Kuntao Silat instead of Pencak Silat because the movements are more suited to my abilities. I've only just begun getting into Kuntao Silat, but outside of it I would say my greatest experiences in martial arts training in quality of instruction as well as what has proven most useful to me for the purposes of self defense has been my time spent in Judo, Combat Hapkido, and Krav Maga. However, when it comes to martial arts that I think are great for self defense, I think Shuai Jiao is a little more suited as a grappling system than Judo for actual fighting. I love Judo and Shuai Jiao equally, but from what I've seen and experienced from Shuai Jiao practitioners from sparring with them and learning a few moves, I feel that more of what they do can be applied to a street fight than Judo, although that isn't to say Judo doesn't have useful moves as well because I still use some Judo moves to this day. As much value as I got out of Krav Maga, I would choose Combat Hapkido over it, if only slightly. Krav Maga is also very useful, but it's more suited for people who are more athletic than others and if you're looking for something that is easier to apply strictly for self defense without having to be more physically inclined than others, Combat Hapkido might be more up your alley. Combat Hapkido is still demanding, don't get me wrong, but it's a little less intensive and more beginner friendly than Krav Maga. Also, there's the fact that finding a quality Krav Maga school can be more of a challenge than you might think. While I haven't practiced Kyokushin (although I've always wanted to but never had the opportunity) I have immense respect for it and I think it can be very useful for striking, although I've heard that some practice protecting the head from hand strikes and some don't, depending on whether they are focused solely on competition or not. Kyokushin has developed some of the most mentally and physically tough people on the planet from what I have observed. If you can only train one art for self defense I would say you can learn a lot from Combat Hapkido, but if you can train three, then I think you could do worse than combining Shuai Jiao, Combat Hapkido, and Kyokushin. I'm not saying all of these are ideal, but I think if you combine them and modify some of their tactics for the purpose of self defense then you will likely know most of what you need to. If you want to be prepared for dealing with weapons, I would also suggest learning Kali or some other form of Filipino martial arts system as well. I can also tell you from experience to avoid Wing Chun, any form of Taijiquan, or any art that doesn't spar and pressure test what they practice, no matter what style it is. Many people look down on Taekwondo, but I've practiced a style that taught the full range of the art and sparred full contact so it was still worthwhile, but I've also seen schools that teach what would be practical if they actually sparred but didn't and only focused on compliant drills. No matter the style, avoid classes with no sparring! A final note: Even if the training seems solid and sparring is part of the curriculum, look around and check out the ratio of newer students to experienced students and observe the quality of the instructor. If the instructor isn't very attentive to their students and doesn't seem very capable on top of sparring sessions of the other students being poorly trained, leave. A poor instructor leads to poorly trained students. One of the worst things you can have happen is ending up in a self defense scenario thinking that you're capable of taking someone on only to find out the hard way that you're not. This can happen from poor instruction just as much as from not sparring and pressure testing what you've learned.

Later on I intend to train Yoseikan Budo, become an instructor of original JKD and practice HEMA using my base of Jogo do Pau. I wont be practicing more than 3 systems at the same time. Apart from that I am working on geting back into shape and being consistent again wich is not easy because I work security in rotating shifts.

I have trained other Martial arts too that does grab and so on.

I'm 54, and I have trained for most of the past 35 years... Mostly BJJ, Muay Thai, wrestling, and Kali since my 30s. I'm also getting a bit old for kickboxing style sparring, so I stopped that about 5 or more years ago. I also recently discovered Ilustrisimo Kali via Ray Floro, and I also agree it's really good, and it's primarily what I focus on now. I haven't "rolled" since before covid (covid obviously put a stop to that), and I've been focusing on Ilustrisimo. I plan to roll at a local MMA school soon, probably a few times a month. I think some grappling but mostly weapons (Kali) will see me through to my old age, plus I think training in weapons is fun :) Btw, I also think BJJ has lost its way a little, with its focus on techniques that seem primarily for sport.

He has his own style, which is mostly a simplified version of Ilustrisimo with fencing tactics... especially "non telegraphic" strikes. I thought I was good at weapons sparring (I have competed in Dog Brothers, etc), but Ray kicks my ass convincingly... which is why I now focus on his methods. If you can't beat them, join them :)

I do tang soo do, Korean judo, boxing, and BJJ. I would love to do gongkwon yusul. It has beautiful Korean kicking from taekwondo, elements of kyokushin, judo throws and takedowns, and jujutsu ne waza. It also seems like a nice blend between a traditional martial arts environment and a sports environment. Taekkyeon would also be fun to try and I would like to imitate its quality of movement and some of its eccentricities. If I were to choose 3 competition formats I would say WTF taekwondo for elite kicking, kyokushin for bare-knuckle inside fighting, and judo for throws. After that would be light contact kickboxing, karate point fighting (with takedowns), and BJJ.

I practiced Ashihara myself for about 6 years. It's very hard to find a good school in that style. It's much smaller than Kyokushin. I consider my school pretty lackluster tbh. I transitioned to Goju-ryu as I already mentioned in the comments to some other videos on the channel. With the last one I got incredibly lucky. I consider our Goju-ryu sensei as one of the best in the World. But the style itself is kind of ignorance proof. Meaning that even if your sensei isn't that good and/or knowledgeable, it will still give you great development if you practice kata and basics with diligence. I have strong belief in traditional schools.
