OSu hello everyone i hav a few questions. First before i take kyokushin i lose a fight to some guy....hes like a cocaine head...well anywaysss lol he decked me in eye hard and i fell and lost and couldnt see from dat eye in a while. hehe first of all im not the most fittiest guy a lil over weight. but before even that fight i hav taken shots to head with no problem how could one shot waste me..? now i take kyokushin and i wonder does weight training like getting buff help u in real life more? but does it make u slower for kyokushin sport comps?

Martialart is not for street fighting. Why do you want to fight such as guy like a cocaine head? Do you want to be involved in bad circumstances? then you should avoid things like that.
Weight training certainly would make you bigger but it will result in making you slower in kumite. See what has happened to Shihan Filho and Teixeira recently in All Americans.

WRONG WRONG WRONG.
bodybuilding training strictly aimed at muscular hypertrophy will result in slowness. Weight training (esp a program with a heavy emphasis on the Olympic lifts) will result in a faster and more explosive fighter.

Oh sorry spanky, yer iwas wrong there. If you bulk up too much though you will definitely lose speed, I have experienced it in the past.

Olympic lifts vary, but the two main ones right now are the snatch and the clean and jerk. Olympic lifting builds tremendous explosiveness, experienced O-lifting competitors can often do broad and high jumps and sprints at levels you would see in advanced to elite competitors in those same fields.
Training for sarcoplasmic hypertrophy (muscle mass) won't slow you down too much unless you put on a LOT of mass, to near-bodybuilder like proportions. Myofibrillar hypertrophy (muscular strength) is what you're after if you want to maintain your size. For that, you typically want to lift heavier weights for multiple sets of low reps.

Use heavy weights, use a 5x5 rep scheme. Two warm-up sets, three work sets with the same weight. Is that better? :D
