Combat Karate

[mani]

Does anybody know much about combat karate? Doubt it!!

Combat Karate is a karate style which incoporates all karate styles especially goju but also has traces of other karate styles. Combat karate has all the most effective aspects of karate put in one style COMBAT KARATE! It is probably the most effective style for street fighting as that is its main goal.

Combat Karate is a street oriented version of Goju, but it would be misleading to call it Goju as there are so many other effective elements from other styles.

Combat Karate is well suited modern style.

By the way i would like to know if anyone else has info or history about combat karate aor any website

thanks

So you're saying your style is the best for the street? What's the point of this thread all karate that lacks the 'do' is supposed to be a combat art.

[Relosa]

It sounds like something that was just made in the last ten or twenty years. Also I think if you just realise how to incorperate any of the techniques from your style into a real life situation any style would be a good "modern" style.

Mani do you know any history about combat karate?

Combat karate has all the most effective aspects of karate put in one style COMBAT KARATE!

and

style is a style
no style is superior
DONT BLAME THE ART, LOOK INTO YOURSELF

Does anyone else see the contradiction here....?

LMAO I hardly think getting kicked in the willy and punched in the throat makes you effective.
Have fun when you want to have kids!

[kerling]

Why not call it karate soup?
Karate stew?
Karate mix?

Finally: Would somone create a karate style with all the worst from all styles and let people know?

[Furikuchan]

Combat karate? Never heard of it. How about American Karate, the biggest oxymoron of all...That's what it sounds like you're looking for. Not to insult the American Karate practitioners, but they do no kata, and have you seen their rank requirements? I could do the stuff required for a black belt at age 10...at least, this is my experience with the style...

That's exactly what I was thinking. I never heard of combat karate but it sounds suspicious.

For all you "youngings" out there Richi Baranthy was the founder of "Combat Karate". He is a Hall of Famer who mingled with the New York sports stars of the early 70's. He was a very charismatic individual who trained like an animal and was able to perform incredible breaking and, what we now call, hard Gigong. So much so that he often appeared on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. He was reputed to have one of the most devasting speed/power punches ever recorded. All this despite having many chronic health problems which eventually took his life as a young man. Here is a thread I found on him if you care to read more.

Somehow I'm not totally filled with joy about the idea of yet another karate style.

[wayofthedragon]

all karate is combat karate, because that is what karate was created for in the first place:D

I got combat Karate confused with "combat ki" "juko kai" BS. Sorry for my previous post.

[jedmonteclaro]

sounds familiar, i knew Maharlika Shotokan Ass'n. its a Philippine Combative Self-Defense Assn. a combination of karate, arnis,aikido, judo and so called combat styles. overall,a preparation for street fighting skills. assn founded by Master Carlito Mendoza, i think his place is in Cavite.

[Alucard]

Heard of Combat Karate but never saw or heard of any schools teaching it nor met anyone that studied it...I was unaware of Richard Baranthy's passing..I remember him on the Tonight Show when he broke 10 granate slabs after dousing them with gas and igniting them..He believe he set himself on fire briefly as he had very long hair..

[Knight_Errant]

god, there are hundreds of losers offering 'combat karate'. Just frigging ditch the marketting gimmick and teach a real style like wado, kyokyshin or goju. Shut up.

There never was a cowboy that couldn't be throwed; never a horse that couldn't be rode! On any given day...any one or any style may come out on top, but always on the street...both get injured in some form or another.

[Knight_Errant]

huh?

Toyama Dai Shihan taught that there really isn't many different styles of karate. They all have the same blocks, kicks, punches, stances, & strikes. All are executed in much the same way. The forms (katas) have all been around and are still done much the same way. Some have been modified by the "headman" to accomodate his preception...but when broken down to the basic movements, are all the same. It never has been this style is better than that style because it's the fight in the dog, not the dog in the fight. And, on any given day, anyone can get beat! Most of the time it's the training or conditioning that prevails in "kick - punch". On the street, other techniques prevail over the "kick-punch" mentality. Even the teeth become weapons.

[Telsun]

Is this Combat karate anything to do with the Daigaku karate kai, headed by Gavin Mulholland and Dan ?, or perhaps Nick Hughes of the USA?

So that means we should label something up, throw in a load of mcdojo, wear pansy-ass camoflauge gis and call it 'combat karate'? Somebody stole the logical steps again. If somebody was offering 'modern karate' with no references to ki, 'dirty jailhouse tactics' (ewwwww...) etc., with good conditioning levels and plenty of sparring and possibly with some judo and shin kicks in it, with a LOT less kata, I'd take it like a shot.

Now, now....take your medication, breath deeply, and relax. Think before you talk...then you won't have to. :woo:

[Cain]

Avoid the personal attacks and watch your language please, KE just expressed an opinion, you don't have to agree with it but you don't have to resort to personal attacks either :rolleyes:

Who is Gavin Mulholland? What is Gaigaku karate kai?

Daigaku Karate Kai (http://www.goju-karate.co.uk/)

A respected, well known instructor/ group wotin the UK. Reknown for their tough training. Sorry if this is not relevant.

Does it matter what it's called? As long as it is effective?

I think "combat karate" is like a "driving car" just silly name for a product.

The irony is immense :D
The fact that you think wearing camoflauge gis and doing self defence drills is cool, and that you make outrageous claims that da l33t combat karate is teh only thtw33t effective style speaks for itself.

is it just me, or does that sound more like an infomercial than anything else?

[Mongoose]

While Combat Karate may seem to be an effective 'street fighting' style (although it just seems to be 'educated street fighting', but nontheless street fighting); it just seems that this style makes street fighting just more brutal.

When i fight someone, in a Dojo or on the street, i aim to set up a clinch with punches and kicks, then overcome them with grapplings, throws and holds until they submit

The idea of doing the 'quick effective' thing of gouging their eyes isn't exactly in my cup of tea. Can't exactly use some of those techniques on a friend or MA pupil.

Dr. Rao is an International Combat Martial Artist awarded Hall Of Fame. He has formed "The Advanced Commando Combat System 'ACCS'". Below is an excerpt from their homepage:

It is to please be noted that ACCS is not a new combat style. It is a principle oriented close quarter fighting art specifically designed for the Special Operation soldier to quickly dispose his enemy. The useful principles of various martial arts and the foul tactics are imbibed and the sport applications rejected. Then these techniques & principles are reinvented for use in close quarter battle situations.

The specifics are the Close Quarter fighting weapons like the seasoned soldiers body along with his dagger, the bayonet & the rifle butt, the CQB situations like raid, ambush & hostage rescue and the Soldiers goal - to kill, else be killed.

We derive inspiration from Sun Tzus 'Art of War' & Bruce Lee's 'Jeet Kune Do' Concepts.

And yes, We are non commercial.

Visit their webpage at: http://blackbeltcombat.tripod.com

This combat martial art is taught only to the special forces of the Indian armed forces and a few chosen civilians (not below the rank of Black Belt).

Much cheaper than bullets I bet!

No, it's not just you, it does sound like an infomercial.

Re:Combat Karate - Daigaku Karate Kai - Okinawan Goju Ryu Karate

This style of karate IS Okinawan Goju Ryu Karate with a clear lineage from both Principal Instructors, Dan Lewis Sensei - 5th Dan - Bristol, and Gavin Mulholland Sensei - 5th Dan - London, to the founder of Okinawan Goju Ryu. It is not 'yet another karate style' it is applied goju, though this in itself is hypocritical since all karate should be applied in its very essence but sadly most isn't, even alot of Goju that I have witnessed over the last 25 years of training.

jees lots of old threads getting revived over the past week.. i guess people are bored due to it getting cold?

Is this an advertisement? I have never heard of "combat karate"

Was this foounded by someone last year?

[Knight_Errant]

Depends on which particular loser he was referring to. This trick is hardly new yet for some reason- probably because, as they have amply demonstrated time and time again, the general public are a bunch of gullible cretins- it continues to be pulled.
