[Question] Advanced practitioners, do you usually compete under K-1 kickboxing rules? How do you adapt your game?

Osu!

Estou começando minha jornada no Kyokushin e estou muito curioso sobre o cenário competitivo para karatecas mais avançados.

Sendo um cara mais pesado (tenho cerca de 1,90m e 108kg), tenho me concentrado bastante em entender a mecânica da nossa arte e o quão física ela é. No entanto, uma coisa que sempre me vem à mente é a transição para aqueles que saem dos nossos tatames e entram nos ringues de kickboxing.

Gostaria muito de ouvir dos faixas mais altas: vocês costumam competir em torneios com as regras do K-1? Se sim, qual é a maior dificuldade ao adaptar nosso "jogo" de Kyokushin para o Kickboxing?

Imagino que a transição para a defesa de socos no rosto e o costume com luvas maiores mudem bastante a dinâmica, mas eu realmente quero ouvir sobre suas experiências práticas. Além da guarda alta, como vocês ajustam o controle de distância, o clinch e o jogo de pernas sem perder nossa essência de poder e Condicionamento?

Agradeço antecipadamente pelas dicas! Osu!

10th Kyu- injury leading up to first tournament

For context, I'm 33 and I've had bad knees since I was a teenager. The last several months I've been intentionally strengthening them and honestly haven't had any issues.

But a couple weeks ago during kumite I took a kick to the front of my knee and it flexed back. Not pretty, but not as bad as it could have been.

I've been trying to keep training and was doing well until kumite last night where I took a mawashi geri to the side of the knee. Normally I would have been fine but it put me down for a second.

After class my sensei expressed his concern about my knee still being tender and the comp being a week from now.

I'm concerned too, and at this point I'm just wondering what I can do to get this at least mostly rehabbed by the Tournament? Any insight or advice would be great!

Greet experience

Osu, me again, I'm back training and had a truly great experience.

I was the only one training in the dojo today, because everyone else is busy with exams and other University work.

Its was truly a unique experience doing solo training like that. My dojo is in my Uni's gym and can be looked into from the second floor.

I did exercises and Kata with some cardio and shadow boxing to end. And as I worked I felt more in-tune with my training than before, even with passersby looking in here and there, with more eyes looking in as I refined my Kata and worked on my Kiai, which truly felt great as a refined and tweaked it by my lonesome.

The highlight of my day was meeting another Karateka who came in to practice 1 Kata of his own. He said he was from a Shorinji style (can't remember the fullname) and it was truly amazing seeing these new form and how different they where from mine.

His Kata was more fluid, but firm, and had many flowing motions. Truly amazing. He even said he might join us to train next time.

This solitary training truly helped me understand how much I actually care for and look forward to my future in Kyokushin Karate. I truly hope for grand things along the way. OSU

I seek Guidance

I am a Bachelor Student, 20M from Pakistan.

I am 5ft 7in and 90kg. Roughly 25-30% body fat.

I can do 8 regular and 5 knuckle pushups in one go without rest. Then after a bit of I can do again 6 and 3 respectively.

No kyokushin or effective karate Dojo near me.

I want to study Kyokyshin and I am a diehard fan.

My Dad was a 2nd Dan Black Belt in KyokushinKaiKan back in the 90s.

He got into an accident and severely damaged his spine so he can't teach and guide me.

My goals:

Street Effective striking

Basic Throws and Knockdowns

Basic Joint locks

All of above require speed, endurance and Strength.

How can I build these with minimal equipment as Gyms near me are super expensive. I have 2 5kg dumbbells at my home.

For techniques I refer to Kyokushin Budo Kai manual. It gives me the perfect blend. I want to do conditioning and develop my body as a Kyokushin fighter.

I seek Guidance from Senpais and Shihans.

A big OSU!!! to you all

Take Care
