Well done to the grading students for an impressive show of spirit! Those leg shots really are the killer, it only takes one well placed thigh kick to put you down…
This looks awesome, if the rest of karate had gradings like this it's reputation would be much better. I get that the first section is headshots allowed, second is knockdown rules, but at 8 mins is it clinch with punches and knees only? Well done again all karateka
How long are you allowed on the ground in Kudo? Are submissions happening often? Cheers, and thanks for putting Kudo on the map, I'm going to try the local gym out next week.
What did you put them through before the sparring? They look thoroughly gassed at the beginning and there doesn't seem to be much room on the matt for other bouts to be happening.
@@kudouk Very nice. I wish there was Kudo around the Hunter Valley, it would have been a good next step from Kyokushin. Sadly the Judo guys got flooded and haven't restarted and all the MMA guys are hellbent on groundwork. I wish you guys good fortune and strong growth - Osu.
I did not realize pulling guard was an acceptable strategy in competitive kudo? I thought kudo was all about takedowns and of course ground submission work and ground striking but I didn't think pulling guard was usually a thing?
@@trustmeimaphysiologist I think Kudo is a fantastic martial art! I think standard MMA compared to kudo is garbage honestly. I think Kudo has so much more to offer the student in terms of Spiritual Development and self-defense
WHat is the Kudo belt order? Same as Kyokushin or same as Judo? Also isn't the short-sleeved Gi a bit of an unfair advantage (thinking from a judo perspective)?

Kudo looks very good! I would love to try it!

I love those style of sparring helmets though!
Are there any Kudo dojos in London? Looks like good fun and a great addition to my kyokushin background
In Slough. Google South East Kudo with Anas 👊🏼

10 sec standing clinch - 30 seconds on the ground and yes subs happen a lot
@@kudouk cheers
@@kudouk thanks, is it a big part of training? Seems most of the content is striking focused? Cheers
@@Janisurai yes Kudo is 2 thirds striking and throwing as out of a 3 min round you are only allowed to stay on the ground 30sec twice in a round
If I don't have Kudo gyms in my country what martial arts can I train ? I'm guessing Judo, Kyokushin and boxing?
Yea that would be perfect 👍 Osu
How about Sanda?
Won't have the ground game though.

They had completed a fitness test, pad work and drills before their fights

@@psychedashell thank you, wishing you all the best too OSU
So I'm curious, what intensity are the students at during the sparring, hard or like a medium?
@@KonginDB During grading and competition it’s full contact. In class we spar light 👊🏼

Guard is used in Kudo all the time. Its not the 'go to' but is very effective for setting up defensive submissions
9th Kyu Vs 4th. I think Ben was tiring a bit.

Purple, Blue, Yellow, Green, Brown, Black. Personally I find long sleeves limiting so short sleeves are more functional for striking

Are wrestling takedowns allowed? Single and double leg takedowns?
Sorry for the delay. Yes you can use wrestling 👍
Jesus... I beg for Kudo dojo in Ireland... ; ( Pitty it's not really that developed
We are looking for interested groups/people to develop it
brutal 🤣
Falta técnica y siendo cinturones avanzados muy desordenadss
Thanks for your opinion, do you fight full contact MMA? I’m curious as real amateur fights look this way in my experience
Oof, this brownie looks intense, poor Ben, hope he keeps getting better.
