As a new practitioner of Kyokushin Karate, I came online to find some videos and am a little disturbed at all the "style x is better than style y" talk. Your emphasis should be less on showing that another style is inferior and more on making yourself the best you can be. Your real opponent isn't another fighter or another style-- it's yourself. You should always be trying to overcome the person you are today to be a stronger person tomorrow. OSU
These are stances that show position, and there are techniques that can be done best from each stance. Also, stances can be transitional. Also, in fighting, seldom would one stay completely in the same stance for the whole duration, if you think about it. If you throw a punch, the hips have to move, and so do the knees and feet, and if you move from position to position, you're transitioning your weight and leg positions from one stance to another, even briefly. One transitions from zenkutsu dachi to kokutsu dachi to neko ashi dachi to tsuru ashi dachi to chamber your leg to throw some kicks, for example. This strengthens/trains muscles for those purposes too.
Thanks for showing this stances they can be very tricky. And a good way, alternativ way then the sensai offen youse. Maybe offen by old custem. I only miss more alternative pitchers of the profile front and side, and focus on the special focus-point. That can some time be the missing link from full understanding.
As with everything else when you do it enough you remember it, you also use them when doing kihon, ido-kihon, and kata ofcourse so they are harder to forget then to remember ;) osu. kyokushinkai Denmark.
The Kyokushinkai fighting stance is similar to other competitive martial arts, like muay thai and boxing. In a real fight you have to react quickly on what your opponent does; studying kata opens your mind to see opportunities you would otherwise have missed because you don't have time to think in those situations. These stances are meant to study position and movement, unlike to what they teach in the average mc-dojo, it's not a manual on how to fight.
Of course they should be. Your heels should be under your shoulders (shoulder width), with your feet pointing out (that is why this position is also called Soto Hachiji Dachi or outer eight stance) at 45 to 60 degrees.
@KidMilly. you can't say that. i'm sorry but neither is superior. They are different. Someone can be better fighter than another but you can not say X style is better than X other style. It has been discussed quite a lot already.
LoL. Mixed the comments on someone practicing the stances on that time. Please do keep in mind however that the Kyokushinkaikan has splintered into various branches due to differences amongst students and the Oyama family. Matsui is only head of the IKO 1 branch alone as he is ONE of the Sosai Oyama's most brilliant students but you shouldn't forget others such as Kenji Midori,head of IKO 2, who was originally the be the head of all Kyokushin. Thanx for reminding my year old mistake. OSU!
All martial arts are pretty much the same. Just pick one and train, if ya lost or saw guy losing it's not style fault but yours or his lack of training and fight experience. There are to martial art it's own weakness, work the way to clear it then. So basicaly it's all up to ya. Also I like this, street punk won over someone with black belt, it's also matter, I said earlier, of persons experience, don't underestimate folks on street since some of 'em fight day by day so. Yeah, ya feel me 'ight?
You know which style wins in the end? The one that adapts over time to change, period. Martial arts is a science, not a religion, the one which applies the proven most effective moves will have the most bang for their buck. Sure, the individual comes into the equation, but if you stick to practicing ineffective moves and don't adapt with new research, your not likely to fight as effectively as someone who utilizes that martial science.

Thats exactly what I am thinking about right now.
RESPECT. It's not all about kicking and punching. Respect is a huge part in martial arts. I hope you remember that, cause looks like you forgot.

i can see similarity of stances from different traditional martial arts
My children 9 and 7 yrs old they have learnt alot thanks to tniz now they do good in karate classes
As with everything else when you do it enough you remember it, you also use them when doing kihon, ido-kihon, and kata ofcourse so they are harder to forget then to remember ;)

Hello , can you write what was the translater was saying .. please . I need to read it many times to save it in my mind .
This is very helpful. What dvd is this from?
I still have troubles with some of them. I need to practice more. Don't forget kumite dachi too. It's an important stances.
Yoyi dachi too
We use fudo dachi quite often, and I've only been at the Kyokushin Dojo for about a month.
And kumite dachi too.

I can't remember them omg hope I do..
When you are orange like me a lot of these are easy, zekutsu dachi and fudo dachi are the first ones to learn
yea im sure you're right, this guy is only the current head of all kyokushin and best student of mas oyama himself...
@lawker777 Did Oyama really face thai boxers in thailamd?
he is kancho matsui
@Mansi1221 no from lyoto machida
Does anyone know if for Fudo Dachi/Shizentai, does both feet have to be exactly symmetrical to each other?
Of course they should be. Your heels should be under your shoulders (shoulder width), with your feet pointing out (that is why this position is also called Soto Hachiji Dachi or outer eight stance) at 45 to 60 degrees.
Naach, Kokutsu-Dachi ;].
Osu!
it is kind of similar to the pigeon toed stance of wing chun
what stance would a kyokushin fighter use in a k1 fight or an mma fight
Zenkutadachi
is there also fudo dachi and hangetsu dachi in kyokushinkai?
Yes.
what? metal gear solid soundtrack?
haha yeah metal gear solid theme
True, I believe there are 8 IKO's in total. All founders were students of the Sosai Mas Oyama.
is the sochin or fudo dachi not in kokushin?
They are in Kyokushin
