    The Niko style is my most favorite fictional martial art, due to it being a survivors martial art.
    Adamantine: helps you with muscule and bone control so you can fight to 100% even if you're injured, it also offers good offense and defence for your body against slightly larger or weaker opponents.
    Water: A primary grappling style that offers the user mid to high level grappling skills that allowed Ohma to go toe toe against Cosmo, who is also known as the King of Stranglers. But the water kata also allows you to learn how to go limp so you can either transfer power or or disperse it.
    Flame: offers the user high level of foot work and basically learning how to sprint. This kata was meant to help practicioners how to get out of a sticky situation with either foot work or literally running away.
    Redirection: this Kata is by far the hardest to master due to the practicioner needing to learn the flow of power their enemy is sending out so they can redirect that force somewhere away from them. In my opinion this is a mixture of Aikido and Jujitsu. Aikido was never meant for someone new to fighting to learn it was meant for more experienced users to learn so they can apply litte effort or little harm to their foe and that can be seen in the redirection kata, barely anyone in the manga/anime has anyone gotten hurt by this kata less it was mixed in with other katas.

      To be more precise, it feels like the "soft fighting style" that martial arts movies want us to believe. This idea that adopting a technique like the Niko style makes the martial artist superhuman by experience. Those people who grew up watching Jackie Chan Drunken Master's, Donnie Yen or those classical movies involving Pai Mei. e.t.c, see characters gain super human experiences by training. In principle, the Niko style takes that aspect of Chinese marital arts and dials it up to 11. In principle, it's possible to take away some of the lessons taught, but it's also apparent that it's, to a degree, not human.
      Which is a running theme. Superman syndrome is a superpower, formless, the old Sage Master who is secretly a mega badass. Even features hair magic, supernatural senses (hearing, smelling), and so forth. Most of the character's abilities are somewhat tied to a real effect but enhanced to such a degree that it becomes superhuman.

    VMatt, I've always believed Kengan-verse would be the perfect match-up to the PTJ verse. Both are attempts at taking irl martial arts, close-quarters, hand-to-hand combat but they become gradually more absurd, but not as outright unbelievable like Baki.
    In fact, Baki is much closer to History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi

    I used to to love martial arts, but for some reason lost my passion for it and knowledge for it in general.
    A couple years later, after watching Kengan Ashura and reading the manga, it made me re-discover my passion for martial arts/MMA. I also discovered a lot of martial arts because of this. It is definitely my favorite martial art manga ever.

    10:49 not how formless style works, it just adapts and creates a fighting style to specifically counter your opponent's style and has some roots in the Niko style

    • @kearsargeyt8848
      @kearsargeyt8848 Месяц назад +1

      What he explained is not exactly correct but you are not correct either. The Formless Style is, as the name implies, formless. It’s all about flexibility and being able to reacts to whatever your opponent throws at you, and hiding your own intent behind the irregular movement. The creating new fighting style part isn’t from The Formless Style, that’s Agito’s special ability. He’s basically Mahoraga. He can adapts to every and all martial art. You will have to defeat him before he can adapt to counter your style. That’s why Gaolang have to use Muay Thai toward to the end of the fight because Agito already adapted to his boxing. And that’s also why Takeshi created his trump card, the Blast Core. Because after he lost to Agito, Agito already adapted to his Karate. How do I know this? It’s because in the Sequel Manga Kengan Omega. These is a new character who is also practitioner of the Formless style, a perfect formless too. And he didn’t shows any sign that he can adapt and create new fighting style to counter his opponent’s fighting style. And here is the fun part, The Formless Style doesn’t have root in the Niko Style. They are completely different. The reason Agito can also use some aspects of Niko Style is because he was taught both style from a guy name Tokita Niko. How do I also know this? It’s because the same guy I mentioned earlier from Kengan Omega confirmed that he was the second batch of Formless style user and the second batch wasn’t taught the Niko Style, only the first batch did which is the generation that Agito comes from.

    I love this show, but there's nothing to learn from it. I've been heavily training BJJ the last couple years. Royce (pronounced Hoyce) won because early BJJ was molded by Vale Tudo (no holds barred) competitions that had very few rules. Most of the original UFC fighters came from different sports with strict rulesets, making them easy pickings for a well trained (to that ruleset) Royce. Pro athletes train for specific rulesets and thats why the Gracies no longer dominate MMA. In the real world, all of the fighters in this show would train essentially the same way. Given that when skill is equal, the heaviest/strongest will win. This is why there are weight classes across most combat sports. This is a goofy "what if?" show and that's fine. If you want to actually learn anything, train.
