    Cool video Shane. What's the rationale behind prohibiting punching to the head? Hand breakage?

    :D It just makes "knockdown / knockout" that much more difficult. Kyokushin knockdown rules are all about "destroy the body, bring down the hands, take out the head". Because there's no "fear" of getting punched in the face; participants just go at it until 75% of the time; someone get's knocked out.

    Jackass with skills! :D I like that! Semmy wasn't in there Barry. He was always more of a Kyokushin Budokai / Daido Joku / K-1 type of guy.

    Most Kyokushin fighters focus on bareknuckle knockdown (like the vid) and K-1 rules.

    That has to be the king of Japanese/chinese/Korean striking systems!

    Have to admire the control of the kicker at 2 min's 54

    Great stuff Shane.

    Your style is one of the top striking arts out there.

    The few spars I had with yourself and dave really put it into perspective when I got a few full whack bare knuckles in the ribs! LOL!

    If it is not sparred like on that vid...it is not proper Karate....its as simple as that!

    Hey Gerry. :D Glad you liked it! Although you may inadvertently be painting a mean picture of me there. :( Be honest now; when have I ever hit anyone in the ribs full whack in training? :o

    How's the Thai going? :)
