- Boxing legend Mike Tyson said his ”peekaboo” style (invented by Cus D'Amato) was based on Karate movements. 😱 So I invited Allstars Gym boxing coach Jay Elder to explain how Mike Tyson fights. Can you see the Karate connection? 🥋

Can you see how Tyson uses Karate? 🤔
Defense to counter. Duh
i think its about the use of kochi + hip + shoulder to punch and get a strong kime.
1 hit kill philosophy. In and out
He uses his feet and hips to generate power. Which is what you’re supposed to do as well, at least that’s what I was taught in Taekwondo.
@@andresrivera1638 in all real combat disciplines.
This guy is an incredible combat sports coach. Bring him back again.
Yeah - he just give you (Jesse) one class and was marvel!!!
Agree 🙌
That man has The Mauler and Borz in his gym
AGREE 👍
Jess. Agree
Whether its karate, kickboxing, muay thai, boxing, etc, we can all learn from each other. Great connection since both "styles" tend to favor each other in terms of feints and punching combinations.
Absolutely
Well said sir!
Excellent comment 👍🥇🥋
Very good!
@@KARATEbyJesse can you answer a question can you like beat somone up if they came at you in a fight using your karate people keep saying u can't use karate to fight you gotta let these people know u can.
In reading Tyson's book, I found that he was a big admirer and fan of Karate and other Martial Arts, he also used kicks in street fights. His fighting style was perfect for him, 5'11, 220 lbs, thick neck, short arms, strong legs, very fast, strong, &explosive.
Where did you read that? I didn’t find anything on mike tyson using kicks except for stomps and soccer kicks?
Did he actually use low kicks??
@@normangoldberg8303 you can almost use a soccer kick as a low kick,"stiff leg" technique,the only difference is you bend your leg inwards and hit with the upper part of your shin.
@@normangoldberg8303He talks about it in his book Undisputed. Mike was shopping and one of his opponents Mitch Green who was high on drugs at the time started trouble. Mike details how he threw roundhouse kicks at Green along with punches. Mike loved seeing Karate movies.
@@normangoldberg8303Mike Tyson once used kick in a street fight from a road rage around 2000s & he got a court case from the incident
Yep, I’m Tyson size myself 😅
*“You can get it; your a Blackbelt”*
Thanks Coach
I did Kyokushin for a long long time.
And then I met Julio Cesar Chavez.
That kind of got me into Boxing.
When I started boxing they asked me if I had any experience in Martial arts.
I said no because I thought it wasn't worth mentioning,
because I thought the only similarities were that they were full contact and Strike based.
Once we started sparring I ended up using some of the techniques i knew from Kyokushin
and found more and more similarities.
My instructor told me that he saw a mexican ( I am mexican)
with a good mexican attitude. Then I told him that I used to do Kyokushin.
He will allways be the Best instructor of all.
Funny enough I always thought his style look like Kyokushin Karate.
@@ntuthukobrendonbhengu7518 I was thinking the same thing
@@thebrownbaldy I've seen Mas Oyama demonstrate body hooks just like that
@@thebrownbaldy they plant themselves and punch almost identically.
That is how you defetead the Jedi?
As in most sports and fighting arts. Generating power from the ground and creating torque with the joints. Especially the hips.
Biomechanics 👌
Man, I always focus on moving the hips but sometimes I do the less power, more reach approach, like Muhammad Ali or Samart Payakaroon. Just an unchambered loose but fast approach. There's a balance I guess.
@@walangchahangyelingden8252 hip and shoulder rotation is the key, that is why most boxer and Muay Thai fighter do jumping rope. Jumping rope can make your upper and lower body synchronized better.
When I was living in Puerto Rico, I practiced isshin ryu karate do. My sensei always encourage us to use the hip to throw the punch.
actually, lot of people think about throwing a punch that only have speed and dissipate on impact, so it relies on speed to have kinetic energy
but actually if there is a force behind the punch, it can distabiliz the opponent and throw him off balance
imagine you're pushing a car, you won't throw your hands with speed, but you actually use your legs and whole body to push
if you can apply that to your punch you can throw a person on the ground with one punch
"Don`t be a martial artist, be a SMARTial artist" AAAAAAAAAAHHHHGGGGGG now i want to make my self a lobotomy (i still love your work!)
Cheers! 🤪👌
"Smartial artist" creativity and invetivity from our fighter researcher jesse tyson yankee karateman.🍻🍻🍻🍻
This Tyson stance and torque is called the kabe (lock in) and kame (unwind) in Buken Ryu. This comes from Gensei Ryu and was discovered in karate by Shukumine Sensei.
as long as human's only have 2 arms and 2 legs,there will always be some kind of overlap,no matter the striking martial art you practice
2 arms and 2 legs? Just wait until the aliens land!! 👽

Movement. In order to generate power, combining the body with strikes creates a whipping motion. This is common in boxing and karate.
Excellent observation 🥊
Fighting is just movement
In one of your previous videos you said that Karate became popular in 1920s Japan, after cinemas were showing Jack Dempsey - and Mike Tyson is also incorporating an adaptation of Jack Dempsey's method.
Tyson has said publicly he was influenced by Dempsey.
Kyoshukin Came Later .19 sixties .boxing was there from dempsey time so its Karate imitated Boxing not the Other way Around . In early nineteens was when dempsey's video was shown In japan And they developed the Kata like shadow Boxing and The Footwork .
@@muhammadali-eb9bk No. Karate was developed in the 17 th century and they were creating forms since then. Katas were a Chinese idea, at least in terms of influencing Okinawan Karate. They were created as a way to teach self defence in a block to people who would often be illiterate. They teach defence against the AVERAGE person. Nobody like Iron Mike. Somebody who punches with wild, telegraphed, swings and who kicks like a Soccer player. The normal, untrained, person.
The other karate and it wasnt know as Karate but tou di , was earlier but had No footwork or Uppercuts or hooks Like They have Now that's a Fact . Karate was coined in 19s
@@muhammadali-eb9bk kyokoshin is the last martial arts that the Japan created in karate... which means the first karate version is from 1500s-1700s they get from Chinese kenpo. And boxing come from Greece in BC or AD. So they both are different. Now do you understand?
This is the kind of material the martial arts world needs right now. The lines between styles have been boldly defined for too long. Now is the time (I feel) to bridge the gaps in this age of information and progress. Unity in the community like this might really be the beginning of a new Renaissance period for martial arts. This kinda stuff definitely helps me fix holes from my own Shotokan-centric background.
Thanks, Jesse! And of course big thanks to coach Jay Elders!
Thank you so much! I appreciate it.
Peek-a-boo is awesome if you're fast enough. Problem for me is that it doesn't work without boxing gloves. Tried it during MMA matches and got my own knuckles punched into my face when stuff gets wild.
OUCH 😱
Did you try to slip off the opponent's line of attack and parry the punches?
That happens because you don't know how to do it
Isn't the peekaboo guard specifically designed for use with boxing gloves? I see how that would be a problem.@English Martial Artist channel does some good videos on how the boxing guard has changed since bare-knuckle prize-fighting days.
It can work great in mma just modify the guard a bit I would suggest looking into daniel mendoza
I could see maybe 3 different things from karate that influenced his style. 1. Is the square stance and in-close style of Kyokushin. 2. Is the concept of blocking and moving to the outside. This was adjusted more to head movement to move around the opponent, followed by body shots to open up the head. 3. Karate often has a heavy focus on using the hips to generate power, and this is something that Tyson also based most of his strikes around
Indeed, that shifting movement to find an angle to the outside (while nothing new to boxing) is pretty much straight-up tai sabaki. You see a lot of Enshin and Ashihara karateka practicing drills very similar to this.
Cus D Amato literally told Mike: Hit like those Karate guys, with mean intentions! lol
In Bruce's words : "with emotional content"
I was an amateur boxer for 7 years, and fought competitively. I once got invited to a friend's taekwondo class, wherein we did very light sparing. Surprisingly, I found that I was much better at closing the distance and getting out of range than most the students that had been training their for +5 years. Most importantly it was respectful and fun. Never let those attitudes be dismissed in any of your training ❤️
Why the hell from boxing straight to taekwondo so real quick Why not kickboxing ?
He actually confirmed what your saying before in a old interview. He said something like Cus use to be a karate fanatic etc and would combine stuff etc. I wish I new exactly how to find it, but it's out there!
Let us know when you find it
I think I figured out the connection. When the boxing coach said that in boxing the power comes from the feet and from the hips. In karate it´s the same. When we are throwing tsukis, we use our hips to give power to the punches and to stabilize ourselves. I think Jesse has a video about it!
That’s a great way to see it!
The shoulder actually helps with generating power also. I would recommend watching a video from Ramsey dewey who made a video about this recently on how we can use our shoulder to generate power. I believe the video was about different stances in martial arts. An example would be when we throw a hook with our left, we could generate more power by pulling our right shoulder.
@@tonyeng2663 So, i.o.w. hikite?! Don't tell Iain Abernethy :-D
that doesn't make sense. All boxers generate power like that. if Tyson discovered something to take into his boxing it is not that
@@conradjonsson I think the rolling motion Mike uses so often is the point. His height makes it very advantageous to throw when popping back the other way.
When are we getting a " I've fought a Taekwondo master" ? 😂
Last time I fought a TKD practitioner I got knocked out by a spinning hook kick!
Nah nah nah....i believe in you jesse haha
@@KARATEbyJesse Great it would be interesting to see but when will you be posting it??
@@KARATEbyJesse Oh damn. Fair play for being honest! Have you taken any tkd stuff and added it to you your own Karate?
@@KARATEbyJesse Love your humble and learning approach even as a bonafide champion . 🙏
I have never seen a boxer who does a better job at moving and hitting from the blind side as Tyson. Some of his hooks from the blind side look just like a karate kage Tzuki.
True!
I like this guy. Seems like a cool boxing coach.
That makes 2 of us!
Me too. He explains so simple and clear. Not too cocky but real lessons like educating. And the stripes on his clothes helps while explaining. Nice!
In the Zendokai (freestyle) Karate that I train in, we use quite a few basic boxing movements like slipping, bobbing, weaving, pivoting, jab, cross, hook, uppercut, overhand, always keeping out guard up like a boxer etc.
That is also in karate. At least real karate
@@lalchungnungaralte9104 Yeah, its never ''real karate'', in fact, the world hasnt seen ''real karate'' in over 50 years, the same way the world has never seen an unicorn, or the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
@@Pazuzu- Here here.
@@Pazuzu- Are you a Morbid Angel fan? I know that your username is one of their songs. Great band! 🤘😄
@@Martin-bc3xn Definitely. And thumbnail is Pazuzu, mentioned in the lyrics.
My favourite part of the video is the boxing guy’s accent
Same!! 😁
Ahhhh
Definitely not a Scottish accent. South of England. Sounds quite estuary.
Is it irish accent?
I'm a boxer 🥊
And I love all types of martials arts ❤️
Learning some kicks and throws and ground escapes would make u an amazingly complete fighter
To me it's closer to kyokushin karate specially the square stance having almost equal power in both hands.
Exactly! 👊
True!!!!
That was fascinating.I'd heard that Cus D'Amato took Eastern influences in his training but I had presumed that it was mainly philosophical and spiritual aspects.
Awesome to hear!
That explains a lot. Remember Mike's appearance in the "Ip Man" movie? I see why Mike 's attributes and application meshed well with Donny Yen's fight choreography. He used those boxing combinations with similar delivery against Donnie's " southern chinese boxing" counter responses.
If you watch Ali closely, especially when he's fighting his hands down style, when he throws his right he'll pull into a loose chamber position then throw... He was slicker than he let on. Cuss saw many things others just missed completely. Great trainer, probably the best ever.
Jesse is a warrior. Dude is just learning so much.
Mike Tyson - one of the best and greatest Legends in Combat Sports ❤️🥊❤️🥊
I always thought that the relation of mike's punches to karate is that he wants his punches to go through his targets much like in karate, where as most boxers would whip it or pop it
Nice way to see it!
I like the way he explained & his coaching techniques…it is easy to find the students but hard to find such great coaches like you both. Every video of yours is worth watching.
Thank you
I trained JP karate (old style) 30 years ago which seems to be different from the nowadays karate I have seen in many schools.
The karate I have been familiar with contains the necessary sets of blocking / attacking of which the discipline of keeping the blocking hands/arms close to body (like Mike Tyson style) must be maintained; whereas the nowadays karate mostly uses the single blocking hands/arms without relying on the entire body strength to support the blocks. 🙏
So, I am not surprised when I see your VDO displaying the specific movement techniques of Mike Tyson , which are the simple movement sets trained in some old karate schools.
Interesting. According to a book I own called "A Killing Art: The Untold History of Tae Kwon Do" (if there's a book about it is it really untold?), Muhammad Ali was a black belt in TKD along with several members of his entourages (who were actually his bodyguards).
Thank you Jesse! This was so fun to watch! Its always a pleasure to listen and watch people performing, when they have a deep knowledge about moving and how to generate power.
What a brilliant boxing trainer, he explains the movements in such clear and understandable way.
Jesse sensei, this video is really amazing! Because of the COVID 19 quarantines, while at home I begun watching boxing tutorials, and this gave me a deeper understanding of angles in kata and power generation based on hip rotation. I even tried the begining of Heian Nidan from or thru a peekaboo stance and it works really well! I think that cross training with boxers, filipino kali, muay thai and others as you do is a great way to release karate from the stiffness that froze it in the last decades and bring it to its original and dynamic practicality
Your patience & willingness to learn is incredible & it shows. Well Done. What a Great Boxing Coach as well. Very much 2 different worlds.
Bruce Lee used a lot of boxing techniques in his style
I wouldn't say a lot. Its mostly fencing with some inside boxing. He did away with the wing chun at the end.
@@yamiyomizuki But of course he would! He is stuck in his own classical mess. Check out Sifu Thomas. IFO is the way to go. :P
@@AztecUnshaven His students from Tommy's IFO group would disagree. Personally it would be great if Bruce was still alive to ask and see even where he would be today with his art.
How do you make such connections bro!
It’s mind blowing for a Karateka like me
Never realised that Karate is almost everywhere
I didn't make the connection until Mike said it!
@@KARATEbyJesse do you think Muhammad Ali or Floyd Mayweather use Karate techniques while fighting?
I wouldn't go as far as to say that karate is almost everywhere, It's more like biomechanical principles are generally the same
@@yeetthemicstudio868 right
Boxing was used by gladiators whereas Karate is waaayyy more recent
This is great. I’ve trained for years to blend boxing and karate together with using Shorin-Ryu as my base. Lots of little adjustments in my stance but it works great. Great to see that Tyson is your go to boxer ... he’s my favorite! Great video Jesse and the coach was awesome!!!!
I really love the friendly atmosphere in all of Jesse`s films... Trying to learn and not putting anybody down! The boxing coach is really doing at good job explaining the mechanics of boxing - Thank you for that. Tai chi people are striking in the same way, useing there feet and body to generate power... There are so many more thing unites us in Martial Art, than sets us apart. I am really tired of videos where people in Martial Arts uses all their time putting down others - Jesse is certainly not putting anybody down! Great work in spreading Martial Arts to the world in a joyfull way :D
The D‘ Amato-Shift Tyson often used is similar to Karate angles you find in Kumite 🤔
When I started to learn how to use my taijii for fighting, my Sifu used to have me study Mike Tyson; saying he was one of the best taiji players in the world. It took me a while to see the connection but in every form I’ve done be it Tae kwon do, karate, Kung fu, ect. All have off movement that if you were so inclined , could be slips and strikes that generate power in the same way.
I believe these techniques have always been embedded in the forms but practitioners rarely branch away from how there masters applied them and there isn’t a natural curiosity into how to apply movement differently.
Great video!
My first discipline was boxing.
I then started practicing kickboxing, and later found traditional Karate, (Matsubayashi Ryu.)
I loved the boxing and kickboxing style of training, and still incorporate it in my practice, but the lessons that I’ve learned and applied from my studies in Karate are much more detailed.
You can used more of your body as tools of defense and offense.
Karate is not an easy system to make functional when compared to boxing because once you dig deep into the practice of Karate you have to put focus on so many other areas of your body and learn to interpret movements through Kata and make them functional for your physical abilities/ body type.
I believe that the advantage boxers have over most Karate practitioners is there willingness to test their practice constantly against worthy opponents without the fear of being humiliated.
Karate practitioners tend to shy away from this more because of the shame that comes with defeat.
We preach humility, but it’s rarely practiced.
With titles, (rank) and all the ego building factors that are taught through Karate we tend to care less about practicality and more about status on the mat.
I personally believe that everything lacks something and what we lack, life gives us the opportunity to gain from others who have different perspectives.
We are all just pieces of this giant puzzle called life 🥋🙏
Jay Elder is fantastic - thank you for introducing him to us. I can’t find any more of him though!
Love it. One of my main martial arts teachers was also a pro boxer. I also learned boxing from him.
I had watched many boxing tutorials here on RUclips. Many also explained and showed their take on Iron Mike Tyson. This video to me is by far the best boxing video I seen.
Simple loved it. Thank you.
I learned taekwondo in the 1970s with an instructor who was a Golden Gloves boxer, so we always incorporated boxing strikes into TKD. It's not as hard as it seems, once you work it a bit and adjust your stance to accommodate both the need to punch with effect and kick with effect. Doing it correctly is the basis of very good kickboxing. You did a great job, Jesse. A little more hip leading the front hand hooks, but the rear hand hooks were awesome!
Can't wait Jesse! Gonna be a great vid
Enjoy the lesson!
Great Video. Great Analysis . You are doing great work bro , keep it up
I love Jesse, his brand of honest and open learning is fantastic. He is obviously completely into it. And no bullshit. Obviously zero ego, all ears and no mouth. Bet he can actually fight as a result.
Hi Jesse, Great video! Awesome to see how open you are to many different martial arts, finding that karate connection. Funny enough, Filipino martial arts has a strong connection to boxing. Almost identical foot movement and evasive patterns, power strikes with a stick corresponds to using torque with your hips, dexterous strikes corresponds to jabs too. Once again, I'm a huge fan of seeing you find these connections with martial arts. Keep up the good work OUSS!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Content suggestion: karate workout/training in 1hour🥋
Best video yet. This coach understands Kinetic Linking and the power originates from floor or feet. Your videos are too good. Salud!
I trained in Shotokan for over 7 years when I was a teen. At 28, I was invited by a friend, an experienced boxer, to spar with him and his friends at his gym. It was an amazing experience. Although the styles are very different (and I wasn't allowed to kick), my friend told me I did pretty well. During the pandemic, I started practicing Muay Thai, using my karate skills and a bit of boxing I had learned. The karate base I had wasn't like starting from scratch in Muay Thai. My instructor said to me, 'Everything adds up, nothing is wasted.' I am adapting the punches and kicks, but when it comes to sparring, I can't help myself; my karate training unconsciously comes out. The counters, the timing, and the kamae stance. A friend once told me, 'You fight like Machida. Did you train in karate? :D
I did boxing for 3 years and out of all the styles it has the strongest punches it taught me so much about body mechanics
Sensei thank you for easing me into karate when I first started it was foreign to me but your videos helped me learn it at a much faster pace on March 27th it’s my white belt test and it’s only been 2 months since I started karate again
Excellent! Great to hear 😁
This leads me to believe in all martial arts have a over lap
Well basically all martial arts are about balance and maintaining balance in motion. Using your whole body to achieve efficient power and motion and using slight movements to protect and defend yourself
Jay Elder is correct about changing how we think. I realised quickly I needed to retrain my thinking when I moved from structured TKD to FMA.
Great video & guest instructor. Thank you for this content.
Brilliant! I have called him “Sensei Iron Mike” for a long time. 👊🏼
I’ve watched several videos of Jesse I’ve never seen him out of breath until he actually did some boxing! I’ve been boxing for two years and can say without a shadow of a doubt that it is the most exhausting exercise I have ever done.
Another fine episode of training and thinking in the combat arts. Thanks, Jesses.
Very informative absolutely loved this video! The boxing coach is definitely a master of his sport. I will watch this video many more times, thank you!
Don't be a martial artist be a smartial artist. Thats my favourite line from the video
Thanks 😄

Deep bow! 🙏
This is by far one of my favorite videos. Thank you very much guys, well done!
Fantastic!! Cheers
Really enjoyed this one. Thank you!
Somehow, I think Thai elbows are more akin to Tysons style. Punching like how Tyson did takes more torque than the average hook, but so does throwing the elbow.
Oh shoot, I think I figured a new style!!
I need to test it out.
Mike Tyson love Muaythai too as it already Confirm and Had little bit training and selfdefence but never met muay boran before. I wonder if he seen Muay Boran in Thailand Event Show before except he know about Tony Jaa Movie
Cus d’amato taught Tyson this style and he is considered to be one of the greatest boxing trainers of all time. He also beat an American karate champ(whatever that is).
I love how the couch practically explained it. The insight from Karate's that inspired mike was the use of movement hips to gain more power.
Both of you are really awesome
And much respect to that coach
I noticed sometimes he does wing chun like blocks
Wing Chun share roots with Karate!
@@KARATEbyJesse indeed sensei, they're both Shaolin based
Fujian White Crane & Claw for the most
@@ntuthukobrendonbhengu7518 yup
What you're seeing are various hand and forearm parries. High level boxing has as many (or more) parries and blocks as Wing Chun and a greater variety of punches on top of it. Boxing also has a variety of hand trapping techniques.

Oss! Awesome vídeo, Jesse Sensei! This coach is very good too, hope we can see him again soon. Greetings from Uberlândia, Brazil!
I've worked a bit on peak-a-boo style boxing and specifically on melding it with other martial arts, so I think I have a little bit of a different perspective on this.
As a matter of history, the peak-a-boo style that Tyson used was created by Cus D'amato in the 1940s-1950s after he was inspired in part by a boxer named Maxie Rosenbloom, who was an incredibly unorthodox and elusive light heavyweight champion in the early 1930s. The first peak-a-boo champion was Floyd Patterson in the 1950s. This was before karate really came into American culture in the 1950s and 1960s, and well before it became a cultural fixture through movies in the 1970s and 80s.
I think its possible that when Tyson says "Cus D'amato based the peak-a-boo on karate" he doesn't mean "karate" in the sense of the specific art that originated in Okinawa and then Japan. I think he might be using the word in the way some Americans use "karate" to mean Asian martial arts in general. If you accept that argument, then he could also be referring to some of the close-quarters punching from a squared off stance found in southern kung fu. Cus D'amato was a professional boxing trainer his whole life (he competed as amateur but couldn't professionally because he'd been blinded in one eye) and he lived his entire life in New York with the exception of a few years in the 1930s when he was boxing coach in the US Army. With that background in that time period, I think its much more likely that he would have been exposed to Chinese martial arts than Japanese martial arts.
History aside, if you're comparing the mechanics of karate to the mechanics of peak-a-boo, then I think the commonality is in two things:
1) Both styles train for ambidexterity. You throw your next strike based on where you are after your last movement. And Tyson would change stances/sides as he bobbed and weaved through combinations. You don't try to maintain a specific lead hand throughout the fight, like a lot of traditional boxing styles or like a fencer. This allows you to blend offense and defense -- the weight shift involved in weaving under the opponent's hook simultaneously loads your own hook/uppercut from that side. You see that in the drill that Jesse does in this video.
2) Both styles throw every punch to "kill." D'Amato called this "bad intentions" -- every punch throw is intended to do as much damage as possible. Tyson often led with the lunging left hook you see Jesse do in the video instead of the traditional (weaker) probing jab of a traditional boxer. "Bad intentions" is essentially the American equivalent of ikken hissatsu -- on which Jesse has a good article on his website.
ty for sharing that info.
It would be awesome Jessie if you ask mike himself to explain his own connection
Agreed. That would be very interesting. I’d definitely make for a good video
Whooooooh .... This is like one of the most informative videos I have ever watched ..for a moment thought the thumbnail was click bait ... thanks guys for this content
*Great Video!!! The guy you brought in really explained Mike Tysons Peek a Boo Style.*
Really cool thar you go beyond traditional Karate!
Always have, always will 😄
Iron mike jesse! Let's go!
Wow! You picked up that combo pretty quickly. Good stuff!!
Ur vids r always awesome keep doing the goodwork🥋
woww, he practicado ambos, karate y boxeo, y me parece interesante saber este detalle de iron mike, tambien seria bueno que dieras una vista al estilo de peleo de bivol, su salto cuando avanza y retrocede me parece como si fuera del karate, no estoy seguro, te agradeceria mucho si pudieras realizar ese analisis, muchas gracias desde california
These are good at learn but I wouldn't recommend using them against a kickboxer. Also when you do that hook keep short distance from your opponent. To keep in range towards them.
Superbly done by both of you. Please, Please bring the coach back to show more. Jesse you are truly a “Shmart” martial artist!
An amazing instructor! Great video!
Technique-wise? Peek-a-boo style & karate have nothing in common. Tyson attacks from multiple angles at close range, while karatekas tend to burst forward in a linear trajectory from long range. So, where's the connection?
In principle, Mike Tyson is an *in-fighter* which means he goes in, closes the gap & digs those punches deep. Which is the second most scariest thing after facing a muay thai fighter who is unfazed by your hits & still marching forward! The only "karate-ish" aspect to Mike Tyson *lies in the way he tensed his form at the precise moment* & that creates fully-committed HARD strikes. Unlike other boxers, Tyson wasn't playing! No floppy or sloppy punches. To him, an opponent isn't human. More like a 'makiwara' that must be destroyed & obliterated by all means! And we all know that in order to strike a makiwara, your posture, form & tensing is important.
Such was the rage & power in his strikes. His form was tense & even more intense upon impact. It's like getting hit by a falling tree! And indeed, I have to be honest here. Despite my background in muay thai & boxing, it was through my practicing traditional *karate* straight punches that I actually perfected the form of my boxing punches. Every part tenses at the precise moment to create a prissy & visually commanding strike as opposed to a sloppy one. No bias from me - if it were good for improving my repertoire? Then, so be it. Peace!
Not necessarily
he just even met Aikido master before so in theory mike tyson apply akido in boxing as a joke theory
You clearly do not know anything about karate
Interesting comment! Especially as the video poses the question, and really doesn't answer it! (Fun and interesting as it was, too.)
Lost me at linear attacks. It is technically inspired. Cus explained that he saw how karate fighters specifically kyukoshin which didn’t go for head, would attack the body in angles
I do Muay Thai, but also always wanted to learn Karate.
The friday we do some sparring, and on one moment y block one of my partner's punch and hit him in the stomach uwu
Just like in Karate, I like to learn new Martial Art, I do a little bit of Judo and now I want to learn some Karate and TK.
Edit: I just Notice the Cleto Reyes gloves, México is in all the world uwu 🇲🇽
I recently found your channel and I'm benching the hell out of it. It's almost poetic that the 3 martial arts I've studied, Karate, Boxing and Muay Thai, are the topics of your last few videos.
I must say, it's pretty darn impresive, even for a Karate black belt as yourself, to pull some of the moves you did in this vid, especially if it's your first time training boxing. It ain't easy to jump straight into upperbody movement drills, and that you did. Job well done!
Thanks and welcome! 😄
so ur a dutch kickboxer
i love seeing you do boxing and mma sessions! Please do make many more videos with your brother and all the boxing guys! they know how to win fights!
Wow, now I can say that my grandfather was actually a KARATE champion back in the day instead of a boxing champion 😂

I gotta say, that coach’s enthusiasm and energy is completely addicting. Lol! Halfway through the video I practically forgot what the video was about and was just into watching you work with the coach! Ha!
