There’s a very big difference between no head punches vs with head punches, and I really respect those kyokushin guys who go into Kickboxing or MMA 🫡🫡🫡

[@senordictador5577]

In kyokushin there is something called shinkenshobu
And there are head punches

[@bryanking1428]

There are only head punches in bareknuckle boxing. Head punches with gloves are not real head punches buddy.

[@gabrielorellana6544]

​@@bryanking1428Have you been hit with gloves? Do you know that in boxing there are many more cases of brain damage and deaths than in mma or bare knuckles fights?

[@samuellee2107]

​@@bryanking1428Dude, gloves are there to protect the attacker's hands...not your head! If anything, they add more weight to the punches😅

[@bryanking1428]

@@samuellee2107 a few ounces? Okay.. let me give you three bareknuckle punches to the face and after you can tell me what feel nicer. Gloves or knuckles.

One of the hardest low kickers in K-1...His low kicks were so explosive and powerful they turned out to be highlights.

When Nicholas Pettas visited Myanmar in the 90s, my coach sparred him.
