Juko Kai brings in Genki Sudo and allows him to punch their experts throat, thai kick him in the ribs and front kick him in the groin....

Who's Juko-Kai? Is he a famous fighter of some sort??

[Tom Yum]

Juko Kai is a form of traditional karate that also trains in meditation. One of their trademarks are advanced ranks who can take full on side kicks to the throat, thai kicks to the chest and front kicks to the groin...

nvm, question solved.

I've watched half the video so far. Kinda amased that the guy is still standing after taking a Sudo punch to the throat. I want to seem him try a spinning back fist though.

[Bjjexpertise@be]

Ok so I finished the whole video. I liked the part where one of the hosts held a pad and Genki pretty much broke his arm with his kick. Anyone have any idea what Sudo was saying throughout the clip?

[Tom Yum]

The following dudes are proficient in Japanese: Aseepish, Jubaji and Gunjin. You might PM one of them and ask politely.

pretty impressive stuff. I can see how someone could take strikes to the side of your ribs and your sternum if you are tough, and with the neck punches the way those guys flex their necks I can see how they could not get seriously hurt from that. The weirdest one is the crotch kick, I couldnt really imagine taking those without hitting the floor in pain. Really to be honest with you im a skeptic, if you look closely the guy kind of hops a little bit before he gets kicked 'down under' so the 'boys' down there might sort of bounce up a little so the kick would pretty much miss them and hit whatever else is down there. If you notice the kicks kind of come from under so that could be possible. Im not saying these guys are bs or that its a hoax, I can see that genki threw his hardest shots, its just I wonder what would happen if someone walked up and surprised them with a canning before they could prepare for it. I also wonder what would happen if a powerful striker such as cro-cop threw the strikes, I doubt they would get the same reaction as the strikes thrown by genki sudo. Its just that genki is more of a grappler, I know he koed that taekwondo fighter but I dont think hed fare against a thai boxer in a striking match. Also, he fights at 160 lbs. so hes not a real big fellar by any means.

Wow I knew Jubaji spoke mandarin but I didn't know he spoke Japanese as well. Thanks, Tom.

He also speaks Klingon, but you have to pay him in advance with beer (Papst Blue Ribbon).

Now I regret taking up mma ;/ How much time does that take to be able to take strikes like that...

[danfaggella]

I've seen this before and admired the skill. However, I don't think if they were figthing and you caught them with a stiff jap they would take it that well, they have to prepare for the strike from what I can see. Also, standing there and taking hits is nice, but what about retaliating.

Also, this talent, though it is rather impressive, isn't going to stop a submission.

There are MMA fighters and kickboxers who take hard hits that they aren't specifically preparing for and not showing any effects, so this isn't terribly out of the ordinary. Nice that they brought in Sudo to prove they're not complete BS and can do what they claim, but I'd still like to see how that plays out in an unprepared fight situation.

[danfaggella]

^Exactly, I don't think thier skills will help when they catch a cross to the face, because even though they are very good at taking hits and all, but they cant really prevent a broken nose. Not to mention, can they fight or just act like statues?

if someone armlocked them and dislocated their shoulder, they may not feel any pain but they would lose the arm's function. Same for a broken neck. they would lose their head function but feel no pain
