Welcome from another Kyokushin student! Osu!
Do you train at the Urban Gym?
Osu! Welcome from another Kyokushin practitioner... I've met and spoken to Hanshi Arneil many times... I attend his tournaments once or twice a year and know many of his Instructors/Students
Welcome from Scotland ;)
I think its interesting to have a look or try other styles etc. I have on occasion arranged for a "Guest" instructor from another MA to come to one of my dojos.
The IKKU Scottish Open Knockdown Championships took place on Feb 21st in Glasgow, 70 fighters from 17 different organisations and 7 countries competed for the title of Scottish Open Champion.

Is that what we call uchi momo geri? inside low kick to the thigh?
and being a Kyokushin guy... Kansetsu geri is one of my favourites too! :)
I love this.... I use what I call throwing the tennis ball, a closed fist (holding the imaginary ball) and throw it,...
very true! :)
A Happy New Year to you all

IMHO The ways described in the original post were mostly on the money,
Yoko Geri (side kick) should be done as mentioned using sokuto (outside edge of the foot, near the heel) whether barefoot or...
I really hope that they are just messing around to have a joke..... but I have an awful feeling they are serious!
Hi Peter,
In Japan, it is common to use your own name... Hills dojo :)
I wouldn't argue that point, lots of similarities.
Hi,
Sorry I am a bit late to this particular thread, but I would like to add some of my views.
Thank you for posting the article, I found it interesting.

Sensei (as he was then) Bob Boulton opened the first Kyokushinkai dojo in Britain in 1965.
