Best Joudan Mawashi Geri Kicker in Kyokushin History?

[nzproud]

In my opinion, it's Ryu Narushima because of his countless knockouts from his hidari joudan mawashi geris.
Sergey Osipov's kick is just too beautiful, knocking down many of his opponents but not as powerful.
Any other thoughts?

Hello, excuse for my english but i am french....

I have just seen the dvd of Ryo Narushima and his jodan mawashi geri is really incredible and its kick is very effective with much KO !!

[greedy]

Ryu Narushima IMO

[chi_kyokushin]

IMO Filho did the best mawashi geri against Andy Hug.

[Aunty Ichigeki]

I voted Ryu Narushima but if we were voting ushiro mawashi then I'd vote Matsui all the way!

[Boaretto]

I vote in Glaube Feitosa. See the excelent Kubi jodan mawashi geri on Tamura in the World weight categories in 2001(?)... We can vote in Filho too...

[Iwaks]

Midori Kenji?

I vote in francisco filho

[veeevek]

i vote for Rru..actually the only videos i saw of him is Daisukey's highlights..and i think ryu is the best...

[effectz]

narushima ryu has the most effective jodan mawashi geri, i also think that glaube feitosa should be added to the poll.

I don't think that a vote of this type is plausible, since there is countless people who would need to be viewed by all to vote on, and some have passed away... and many did not compete or are on film to view.
Posssible if you asked "as a K/D tournament fighter only who" ... then that would change things.
You also have to take in to consideration that fighting ways have changed over the years as the science of the training and the fighting too has changed. The way science has informed us of how to train, stretch etc.. has made for better kickers and the tools we have now that where not available back in the 60's, 70' or 80's... also has improved the kickers.
(things like but not limited to, digital video, weight training, meds; & better insructors-based on 30-40 years or more of their training)
So you can see my point on this one, though you may not agree that is fine, it's still a valid point to consider

[Fire!]

Yes I agree but I still think Ryu Narushima sensei has one of the best highkicks to knock out his opponents. The most practical I would say.. osu

[Sigma]

Well I voted for Narushima in this one because it's only for mawashi geri right?
because if it was for all kinds of high kicks...I think that I´ll vote for Andy Hug because of his amazing kakato otoshi...or maybe Sensei Ryuji Isobe...for his beautiful Kubi tate geri.....
but even Narushima's mawashi geri is different from most fighters...that's why I voted on him...

[sephiroth_de]

[machbaga]

tsukamoto norichika for sure

[desertfox]

I think francisco filho has the best mawashi geri in kyokushin cosidering the speed, height, reach and power he generates with his kicks.

[JwzOrry]

Narushima got the best jodan mawashi geri
