Glad to see these with commentary. Sorry again if i ripped the fights out of order. The media 8 dvd wasn't clear when a round of the tournament started and stopped so i just grabbed all your fights. osu. I never want to take those low kicks by god they look painful.
You are LEGEND Mate. Love your support and love your dedication, thank you for always being the best TOMODACHI. I believe this one turned out good. Sorry for not giving you a proper shoutout. I am in love right now and tend to be a bit light headed TOMODACHI. But thank you for your support and RESPECT
@@TheTokyoShow No problem at all Nic. I just noticed that i put the same fight in twice just from a different angle. OOPS. Anyway super glad to hear your thoughts on this. Take care Brother
Master Pettas, this is truly intriguing. It is thanks to you, Andy Hug, Francisco Filho, and the great Mas Oyama that I have learned to gain a deep appreciation for Kyokushin Karate. Osu.
Wow! So cool to hear your comments about this tournament! Man, watch you kicking like that makes it look so easy! You did great! 👊🏻😁 The famous and venomous "brazilian kick". I lost the count about how many times I also got slapped in the face by this same kick haha 😄 I practice Karate at the same dojo where Shihan Francisco Filho used to train with Shihan Isobe. It's simply amazing learn Karate there!
The greatest gaikokujin kyokushin son of Sosai to ever live!!! Nicholas Pettas is a living legend. His wisdom is immense and his experience is unparalleled. To the one and only true karate kid, I say....OSU!!!
Oh good. I just read your book. Was wondering on what happened with the Uchi Deshi that was still yet to graduate. Ok now I know. And the program still exist.
No worries Vagabond, ask away and if you really want to get a true show about your questions then please head over to patreon.com/thetokyoshow and become a Extreme Tomodachi
@@TheTokyoShow OSU! We actually talked a few times via emails a few years ago about Japan and dōjōs, I doubt you will remember, lol. Thanks for replying. I hope all is well in these crazy times; I am trying to purchase your book, but I cannot find it anywhere except on Amazon for like $350.00...OSU Pettas Sensei! OSU! 内弟子 4Life
you really can bring the experiences of the past back to life, with great expression of affection and pleasure for everything you've done, I think that when you train with a great man, that man can bring out the best we have inside, it seems that all the good we have comes to the surface and we savor each day as it is meant to be savored.
big respect to master nicholas pettas you fight bigger opponent, I admire you and you re my super roll idol i training the ITF taekwondo , I fight in overweight decision my opponent is like 6 feet 3 but I am only 5 feet 9 is hard for me what is your advise to fight someone bigger than you , in that match I only fight run.
Osu TOMODACHI I hope you love the channel? I feel that when you fight taller people that you should try to getg close inside and fight hard to beat them. Good Luck TOMODACHI
osu ! i love the ur channel ! i be share like and comment. i watch ur program on japanese document about the viewing / study other martial art like judo , shotokan karate , sumo... etc and you done great sir in those video progarm , how about sensei make video about review on other martial art might be interesting !
Great video! I finished reading your book "Blue Eyed Samurai" today about your life as a Uchi Deshi and learning from Sosai Oyama directly. Amazing book! Very motivating! OSU!
dear nicholas pettas awesome video!!!...we want more videos like this, when you was ushi deshi and sosai times appearences also kata videos!! osu frome chile!!
Great moment. you fought hard and very well. Francisco is a monster!! hahah. but the nicest thing is the respect between these 2 fierce warriors. you were among the top fighters of the time. I like to say... if you're not the best, stay between the best. and you did it. you're a very respected warrior until the present days. great inspiration. thank you. Osu.
@@TheTokyoShow My pleasure!! hahah!! By the way, You could talk about the All Japan Shin Karate Tournament, or the 1999 World Kyokushin Championship. It would be nice!! Oh, and check out my instagram, please!! I did some footages of you on videogame, hahahah. I played "K-1 World Grand Prix" for Playstation 2. You knocking some fighters out, LOL !! Osu!
Awesome video! As a kyokushin practitioner I truly admire your skill. Osu! Also, I'd like to ask a question. How does a kyokushin fighter handle a wrestler/judoka or any other martial artist who knows and is used to fighting on the ground? Thanks
Thank you very much TOMODACHI and welcome to the channel, please share the content on SNS. I spent a few years learning MMA so I feel confident enough to handle myself. But truly it's so different from Karate that I suggest you go and learn for a year or two, then you understand better.
@@TheTokyoShow Thanks for the advice Nicholas, I'll keep that in mind. I'd like to ask a few more questions if you don't mind. The first one is, do you have a kyokushin karate dojo in Japan? I'd love to learn from someone like you. The second question is, how would you recommend to fight someone who's an expert on fighting on the ground, in case you're a kyokushin fighter without any kind of knowledge of ground-fighting? Thanks.
Awesome as usual to have you give us the insight on how it felt through your eyes. By any chance, could you do another with your 1995 European Heavyweight Championship in Bucharest? I was not able to find any footage of it. I was your translator with the romanian hosts btw 🙃 and have been following you ever since.
That's so cool TOMODACHI, unfortunately the footage from that 1995 tournament seems to have been lost... if anyone has anything anywhere I would love to see it...
Hi! Maybe would u like to record video about karate training? I mean sth like "how to practise punches to hurt ur opponnent like Glaube hurt me" ? :D Maybe any crossfit workout good for karate? Osu ! Its big pleasure to listen u. U propably have a life like i always wanted to have myself. When i was kid i watched ur fights and other legends and i was dreaming about becoming uchi deshi and taking part i world open tournament. U are nice guy!
Thank you very much TOMODACHI, I will try and recap some stuff on the podcast project that I will start to record soon. If you have any more questions please leave more comments and I can take them into the channel.
Great Video Nicholas, good to see Shihan Tsukamoto was around in that time, I only learned of him in 2008 during training. P.s: was that Tokyo metropolitan gymnasium in Sendagaya as it looks familiar? Osu!!
I admire your eyes back then. They were hard to impress it looks like :-) One thing I note though. Every single time you get an illegal punch/ kick you totally rely on the judge and the stop of the match. I mean the real spirit or in real budo you NEVER turn your back to your opponent. That is at least what I have been tought/ felt during my stays! :-) Please keep up the good work and of course to feel free to comment. What is your take on the budo vs sports karate? Or tournaments vs. the street? Best regards from Denmark
when you have 4 corner judges and one main referee it's a sport. and there are ways to manipulate the judges for sure. I played this sport fairly well. Not the best in the world but I did knock out all my opponents in Europe to claim the Heavy weight title, its a different game in Japan with all japanese judges, unfortunately this is true to this day so as a fighter you simply try to play the sport as well you can and hope for the best.
Nu är jag oförskämd och skriver på svenska. Hoppas det är ok. Språkutmaning ;) Har du några upplägg för hemmaträning , eller kan man få hjälp att konstruera ett pass så jag kan köra på hemma för karate , kumite ? Tack så mkt! Osu
