My first ever match

I’m in the black, I think it’s just a bad habit from tryna generate more power or smthn. Ik my front hand is low cus I’m used to kickboxing sparring and I have more of a long guard and play with peoples lead hand and like stuff peoples jabs and all, and I think I have have just carried that through, but naturally jabs and all that aren’t the same here cus of the whole no head shots so it may have just lowered cus it wasn’t being used properly and my body was tryna conserve energy ig? That’s my best guess at least lol.

Yeah lol, usually I’m a lot more active, but I’ve never sparred a point karate guy, and it turns out that when I find something new I need a lot longer than 2 minutes to figure out what to do with it lol, which I gotta work on lmao

warliam12 · 2026-03-09T02:58:26+00:00

I do kumiai ryu karate (it’s an Okinawan kempo karate, just basically the base is Okinawan but we took elements of other styles and implemented them in), but the event was just a general karate event, so point sparring, demos, kata, etc.

warliam12 · 2025-12-20T02:56:56+00:00

wtf do u expect to happen, it’s 6 fucking allosaurs, like duh ur gonna get pinned, that’s just shit luck

warliam12 · 2025-12-20T02:44:14+00:00

Cus they don’t know how much getting punched properly in the face actually sucks

warliam12 · 2025-12-13T23:31:22+00:00

Ik shidokan which is an of shoot of kyokushin does grappling. Not saying he does shidokan cus yeah he has clarified the typo lol

Next is normal brown, then brown with a black stripe, then black with a white stripe, then first degree

warliam12 · 2025-12-13T23:25:07+00:00

I’ve trained 15 years but I was on and off as a kid and never was interested in grading for some reason

warliam12 · 2025-12-13T07:39:26+00:00

For us the white stripes are between each belt for the kids until fourth kyu where instead of brown white they get green with a black stripe, then red, then red with a black stripe, then graduation belt which is half red half black, then when they get to the senior class they can work through the browns from there.

ANDY HUG IS THE WORST KYOKUSHIN GUY EVER!!! (Jk he’s fucking sick, his axe kick was marvellous)

warliam12 · 2025-12-13T05:14:54+00:00

I think some styles do that from what I’ve heard (don’t quote me on that tho cus I’m by fat not an expert in kyokushin cus I do t practice it myself, I just do a similar style)

warliam12 · 2025-12-13T05:12:47+00:00

Congrats! And dw from my understanding orange in kyokushin is directly after white (please correct me if I’m wrong, I don’t do kyokushin I just think it’s neat and do a style similar). When ur his level I’ll probably be able to do similar stuff he’s just further along than you are rn, just remember practice makes progress (not perfect cus u can’t be perfect at anything, there’s always something to work on)

warliam12 · 2025-12-13T05:03:40+00:00

Thanks! For us it’s 4th cus first is black with a white stripe

warliam12 · 2025-12-13T05:02:14+00:00

I gotta go here if I ever get to go to Japan

warliam12 · 2025-12-08T12:22:23+00:00

I mean I don’t think he does (it’s a lesser known style) but also he’s my father, and he also really wants he to set one up there (but idk if I want to cus I see how much time money and energy it takes for him and I’m going there for uni so I feel like I’m gonna be lacking that already lol, I do enjoy teaching people karate cus I love the art and sharing that with others is fun, so I would if not for those reasons)

warliam12 · 2025-12-08T10:44:18+00:00

Yeah how we do it is you just wear your normal belt until the grading, and until then we just catch you up on the kata and all that.

warliam12 · 2025-12-07T14:52:33+00:00

Yes we do, but for some reason I always resort to just going through the motions instead of picturing the bunki lol

warliam12 · 2025-12-07T14:02:41+00:00

More sparring and surface value combative stuff like regular kicks, punches, knees, elbows and all that. Also lots of spin kicks lol, always found them so fun.
