Sonik,

No, I have not seen the Ichegeki on video yet, but I am looking forward to see it very soon!

Even do I haven’t seen the event yet, I don’t think that many of the big names in Kyokushin are ready for the K-1. It is hard to shift and to readjust from karate fighting with no punches to head, to kickboxing with gloves. It takes years to learn to box, and most of all, to learn to get hit in the face.

Glaube Feitosa is an excellent example. He is one of the absolute best Kyokushin fighters in the world today, but he has had a very hard time to get success in the K-1, and he has been in the game since 1998.

Andy Hug and Filho are two positive examples, where Kyokushin fighters have had huge success in the K-1, so there is no reason to think, that Kyokushin not will produce a new star in the future. But Andy and Filho are also two unique people and fighters, which only come around very rare.

Noji had a good start on his K-1 career, Nicholas Pettas has won the All Japan tournament, Sam Greco was also very popular and had huge success... So who knows who from Kyokushin will be the next? Still I don’t think that Kyokushin karate will produce a new Peter Aerts or a Jerome Le Banner.
