View Full Version : Jean Riviere in Vale tudo (vs Capoiera guy) Martin H 02-16-2010, 10:38 PM Found this: Jean Riviera (kyokushin) vs Mestre Hulk (Capoiera) - Brazil Open 95 Dy9LuUtusAU Thunar 02-17-2010, 01:13 PM Found this: Jean Riviera (kyokushin) vs Mestre Hulk (Capoiera) - Brazil Open 95 Dy9LuUtusAU Excelent video....I remember watching that fight liveo n tv back in 95....good memories..... Tks. P.s. Mestre Hulk (not so "Hulk" to me....lol:D......).made the classical error for capoeira fighters...they normally move foward too "opened" giving some very good spots to land a punch or kick....and they are not used to take blows because in rodas de capoeira (capoera fights in portuguese) they normally do not fight for real, they do no land the kicks. So they kick very well and their kicks are very strong, but they are not used to get hit......... Dent 02-17-2010, 02:01 PM Osu! I think in this case, no amount of conditioning would prepare him for the 118kg punch to the jaw. ;) Osu!

His thigh's measured 30 inches around. He was a monster that had the speed of a middleweight. Me, I did my best impersonation of a makiwara...:eek: kakatootoshi 02-18-2010, 04:11 AM I remember having to fight Jean Riviere at my 2nd Kyu test. His thigh's measured 30 inches around.

I think in this case, no amount of conditioning would prepare him for the 118kg punch to the jaw. ;) Osu! Ok,ok,ok....you got a point......:D.......afterall there is no "conditioning the head stuff"........but what I meant is that because they don't hit each other on rodas de capoeira, they normally atack without any proper hand position and are not used to take real blows (see the video posted against Mark Kerr, he just run away from the fight). But I know what you mean, not many people would take that punch from the canadian guy without being KO. Osu! Deaken 02-22-2010, 07:27 PM He drifted away from Kyokushin to try early MMA from what I understand. He damaged his knees and it ended his fighting career. |
