Kyokushinkai and Drunken kung fu

I've never seen drunken kung fu sparring, much less versus a kyokushin student. Pretty neat clip.

Hi Boomer,

That clip really shows a Kyokushinkai guy trying hard not to kill the 'drunken' stylist. I understand it was from a Japanese TV show. Perhaps the Drunken stylist should have had a few more before the fight.

BTW please tell your father I'm coming down to Red Lion on July 1st through the 5th and will try and come into his class on Saturday morning.

I live near Red Lion! ARGH!!!! I have to work Saturdays!!!!

BLAST!!!!

Any chance of meeting you and/or Boomer on the 3rd? (sunday)

PM me if you wish.

Matt,

Sent you a PM, but I'm sure we can get together, perhaps at my father's pool.

The KF guy is trying to look pretty but not actually connecting. The first sweep should have upended the Kyok guy but it was too weak. The other guy was all hands but hardly got close enough. Not a good advert for their sifu!

Victor is right about this....looks as if the Karate instructor told his guys to be easy on the Kung Fu dudes. However, this should in no way imply that these Drunken Kung Fu practioners are the best representatives of their styles.

Whenever I see things like this, I draw the conclusion that it is Japanese TV and Japanese against the "other" styles....Well the presentation will be to put down the "guests."

I'm curious if you have had fighting experience with Kyokushin vs. other styles. I am exploring Karate for the first time, and it seems that Kyokushin has strong focus on actual contact sparring. Do you think Kyokushin is good for a beginner?

Many thanks for the input...

ingo, You would get more responses to your question by starting a new thread.This thread already has a topic that should be stuck to.

Thank you. I will do that.
