One of the episode of the Fight Quest featured them training in Kyokushin Karate. Wow. Very intense training.
I saw clips from that episode, and it was much better than the way Human Weapon covered kyokushin. Fight Quest showed the three-man kumite (where one person takes on three opponents in three consecutive one-minute rounds) and the shin kick baseball bat break (which was part of the black belt test at the school I attended in Japan).

lol True. However, it's also one of the most effective demonstrations I've ever been involved with. You wouldn't believe the looks of shock and the gasps coming from the audiences who watched those breaks. It also helped the karateka understand the importance of all that shin conditioning that we did.

Just to clear up any misconceptions of the naming of Kyokushin.
"Ultimate Truth" means to find the truth in ones self through the discipline of the training.
Oyama did not mean that his Karate was the Ultimate Truth as a fighting art. He meant his training could help find the ultimate truth in the individual and help their life.
When I saw some kumite videos, it didn't look like there was much emphasis on blocking, it was just two guys punching each other int eh stomach until an opening for a head kick.

Osu.
Indeed.
Pop question boys and girls:
And what did he think of Kata?

A polish fella has joined our club and he used to practice Kyokushin back in his home country along with Shotokan and all i can say is he is unbelievable at Kumite compared with the people at the club already. I cant wait to see him in competition.
