All,

Please note that on my previous post it is my opinion only.

Most of what I have stated is from my personal experience as I have trained in both Muay Thai and Ashihara, with influences of traditional Karate. Also from what I have viewed on the TV and DVDs with training and documentaries like Fight Quest, Human Weapon etc and K-1 and UFC watching Muay Thai fighters and Kyokushin Fighters.

Then again Master Sken is also a Tae Kwon Do Blackbelt (This is what I have read, but this may have been misinterpreted) so I can see why Mawashi Geri's seem so similar - I've answered my own question lol.

We teach the 6-point kick to the beginners so this is where it comes from although it can come up from 45 degrees as previously advised

I think it may be personal preference as to how the kick comes in

My reason for the Aikido/Judo influence is that the Nage Kata from what I have been told, CORRECT ME PLEASE IF I AM WRONG (I DID GET THIS INFORMATION OF THE WEB), were formed with the assistance of an Aikido Sensei that Kancho Ashihara O Sensei knew. Also that his number 1 student at trhe time Kancho Ninomiya was a Judoka before coming to Kyokushin and this is where Ashihara and Enshin were formed

Osu!!!
