- Lyoto "The Dragon" Machida became MMA legend using Karate. But it didn't work at first. Because traditional Karate is designed for self-defense, not combat sports. So Lyoto made changes and became UFC champion! Learn more in this interview hosted by Karate Combat.

Who should I interview next? 🥋
You know you have a good channel, when Lyoto Machida says he follows it.
He’s also the most successful sumo wrestler to ever compete in the UFC! (Seriously)
"Learning to fight without an opponent is like learning to swim on dry land.” - Bruce Lee
Jesse, people often forget a simple fact. Kata teaches techniques. It doesn't teach you strategies and tactics. Those are things you have to learn on your own via sparring.
Most martial arts in their pure traditional form are not mma compatible. Mma is about filtering the practical and effective moves in martial arts.
The Dragon and The Karate Nerd in one video? Too good to be true.
Bruce Lee never believed in Kata. He believed in full contact free sparring.
Finally someone like Lyoto Machida Sensei spoke out what I felt as a Karate practitioner for many years. As much as I am old school and conservative in Karate to keep tradition, we need to be open minded to separate traditional from modern applications. Especially when it comes to fight sports (MMA cage fights, competitions) or even self defense situations. Thank you for the interview!
By traditional, he means ITKF standards (shobu ippon). By "old", probably late 1960's ou 70's. By bunkai, he means embu (very common mistake in brazillian karate culture). You're welcome
MMA is a sport. Traditional karate is like entering a Rembrandt in a surrealism exhibit. The debate isn't even worth it.
An old Japanese chef once said:
I'm glad people like Lyoto are speaking up about it.
This is one of the most underrated interviews in the Karate world. So much great advice and wisdom there from Lyoto Machida.
When I learned Shotokan, I was taught that kata is a choreographed fight. We did some bunkai but nothing too deep. Later in life a good friend who’s a long time Wing Chun practitioner said “forms(kata) are a syllabus of techniques to be mastered independently, then combined with one another”, which is in line with what Mr. Machida said. It’s possible that this line of thinking would be beneficial to adopt into modern karate training in order to make its value more relevant in MMA.
HOW did you get a Machida interview!? Guys is a living legend! One of my favorite fighters of all time! Great insight and knowledge, love when masters can explain their thought processes .
It's great to have someone like Lyoto Machida to represent Brazil in Karate! Have to agree to what he said: of course training only kata won't make you a better fighter. It gives you the "tuning" of the techniques. But if you want to go for kumite, train kumite. You have to adapt your training to your goals, and not get stuck with a close-minded thinking.
Jesse, I gotta believe this was a small dream come true for a karate nerd like yourself! 😄 Lyoto is definitely a legend, mad respect.
That front kick you see on the video knocked out Randy Couture on his retirement fight. He expressed that he wanted his last fight with Lyoto. I believed I've never cried watching a fight until I saw Lyoto crying because he won but he had mixed feelings about it. One of the top ten moments in the history of MMA.
One of my favourite MMA fighters of all time. Love how honest he is about traditional applications in modern day combat, whilst still being respectful to his roots. Great interview with a great man! 👍
