Kyokushin Karate Black Belt Michael Jai White Destroys Opponent in NEVER BACK DOWN 3 NEVER SURRENDER
The History of Martial Arts class really enjoyed viewing this film today and seeing the application of "old school" karate used to neutralize the younger "new school" MMA fighter. The problem with MMA clubs that this movie points out -- the close minded new school practitioners like Cobra are too arrogant and cocky, and they don't appreciate & take for granted what traditional training practices has to offer.
Doing kata and forms helps one learn many applications, proper technique alignment and balanced stances. Practicing on the makiwara board toughens the knuckles, elbows, knees and feet because the WHOLE idea of that method is to make your limbs, even your head become weapons.
In an actual fighting situation, there is no referee, no rules, no weight class, and there are high chances you're up against multiple opponents at the same time -- some will have weapons, while others won't. You never want to be on the ground in a street fight or any fight at all. You're literally a vulnerable sitting duck. So don't try and copy what you see on pay-per-view.
