Miami nights 1984 - the getaway 🇺🇸👌
Dave was by fare best i ever trained under nobudy compares he was amazing fighter one of the all time best kickers pound for pound and even better teacher. ❤
For years, Dave Johnston trained alongside Mike Winklejohn, who later founded the famed Jackson-Wink MMA gym in Albuquerque, New Mexico, when they were both World Champion fighters in the early and mid 1980's. (This is where UFC Champ Jon Jones has trained for the last 12 years.) Winkeljohn was also an amazing fighter, but a kick to the face in practice in 1986 put his right eye out, so he decided to turn to coaching.
What style did they study
interesting info👍
But he seems - like many american kickboxer of this time - Bill Wallace inspired😁☺️
Actually, dave was already multiple world champion when Winkle came into the gym
@@fucu41 bill packer kenpo karate he had some of the best stable of fighters back then tones of world champions
Happy to have trained with him, taught me to fight in both stances by way of a hard lesson he learned. Rip
Where did you learn from him?
never seen such perfect kicks!
Great highlight! Stoked to see another video dropped!!
Strength in the man is unbelievable almost
his style was very effective against muay thai styles
Really? I gotta look this guy up more. I don’t see technique like this on tv matches anymore. His technique is very clean and precise👌🏽
I don't think any style is effective against Muay Thai
@@themacocko6311 Wushu Sanda and Kyokushin Karate
@@themacocko6311 I don’t think Muay Thai is invincible either. It’s got loop holes like any other discipline. Though if is favored by many.
Thanks for knowledge you hold the keys to this knowledge remember you are a key holder
He had an amazing back kick! Nice video thanks
Best of the best!!
El mejor canal de lucha/musica del Mundo

This channel is ALIVE! 💥💥💥
One of the best channel on RUclips
This Chanel makes the best 80s Kickboxing tribute videos !
Can you make a tribute video about Jcvd? But only with the fight scenes from Blood Sport and Kickboxer,!
I think you’re better off going to The 80s guy or Neros77 for that
Look up Don Dellpiero - fight for revenge if you haven’t seen that already
Damn im glad i found this channel
Those fights reveal the art of kicking
He was a great guy. RIP.
I think that Stan Longinidis also deserve to have video on you channel ;-)

Totalmente técnico 👍
Vaya efectividad a la media vuelta!
I like fighting style
Thank you so much for the channel!
Full contact karate/American kickboxing is still my favorite sport- we trained in that sport when I was young and I still train its techniques. It's a beautiful style. I don't like Muay Thai- looks ugly to me. Yes it is effective, but besides effectiveness I like to choose the style that also looks good. And I'm strongly believe that good kickboxers using TKD and Karate techniques can defeat Muay Thai fighters
It's a real shame that kickboxing died in popularity in the US and that the full-contact ruleset went with it. It's basically impossible to find pro matches under these rules anymore.
@@sorenpx100% agree! Still glad to know that there are people who share my feelings❤
@@timzarmi6850 Indeed. I was young enough in the 80s and early 90s that I only vaguely remember the kickboxing scene at the time but I remember enough to feel nostalgic for it. And I've spent a fair amount of time as an adult going back and researching the history and watching matches. The mid-70s through early 90s was a great time for American martial arts.
Kickboxing fullcontact 🥊🥊🥊🔥🔥🔥

Bealtyfull

'The Getaway' - Miami Nights 1984
Was he doing karate at the beginning?
0:52
Oh my that karate straight was NASTY. People rag on the technique, but when timed correctly it works to perfection. Wonderboy has a great use of it off of a jab slip.
Мой коронный удар с разворотом
Супер.
Mark Hamill going beast mode xDD
phaku solangi fam slets do it today
2:29 My god, he nailed Mr. Red Shorts a good one in the stomach.
@GemTWood Oh that's cool! Thanks for the info! Who won?
@GemTWood Ahhh ok, I get it. I really appreciate you taking the time to educate me! 👍💪
Why karate Kombat dosent looks like this ??
Why the padded shoes when fighting Thais ? They had only ankle wraps on?
@@GemTWood oh ok thanks, so he had the option not to wear them , he thought padding helped him makes sense, Thanks for info
Cuando el full contact tenía competidores de primera ....juju
Uh oh the Nak Muay Nation won't approve of this video 🤣 Dave Johnston was a great World Champion and fought everybody no questions asked and he fought 12 round fights not these safe 5 rounders
Как в игре Tekken 💪💪💪👍
