    Hands up! [gif]

    Not my gif, found it surfing around.



    Dangers of training in a style that don't let you hit the head - develop bad habits, namely hands up!

    Yep, one of the reasons you see lots of kicking Ko's in kyokushin is because they tend to drop their hands WAY TOO MUCH.

    He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !

    When we first started promoting sanshou in NYC, we had a lot of Kyokushin fighters, they were tough, but low hands and obviously zero boxing skill made things hard on them

    Yep, I never had that problem because of my boxing background, the whole notion of dropping my hands was too unnatural to me.
    At my old school we tend to spar with gloves and head shots and only when training for a comp sis we do more "traditional" sparring.

    Don't have time right now to get into it, but there is a LONG STORY about this that starts with Jon Bluming and ends with Daidojuku

    meant 'long kick' in clinch range, as there are 'short kicks'

    but wow, oldschool Jon Bluming

    Two reasons:
    When your hands are down ( which they tend to get one two people stand in front of each other and punch each other in the chest) a kick is surprisingly easy to get in from that range.
    Kicking "should" be able to be done from ANY range...

    The lack of punching to the head changes the fundamental shape of the fighting as has been said... and since you can't punch, of course you kick in close...

    Well, that and the fact there was no clinch allowed....

    Jon Bluming, with his Judo training, of course was opposed to this format, and was very vocal (well, he was very vocal about everything) to Oyama about this, when push came to shove, Bluming did in fact throw people in Oyama's dojo

    Bluming suggested to Oyama to change the format.. at least to include the Judo throws and some ground... Oyama resisted....

    The story goes, Oyama eventually said he wanted to see a draft of some new rules, those rules were brought to him, and while at the last minute he still felt such a change would split his organization, he approved the author of those new rules to start his own organization with those rules... that became Daido Juku
