Billed as the world’s hardest karate, Kyokushin is one of very few traditional martial arts which is well respected in fighting circles. In Kyokushin they condition every part of their body for toughness and spar bare-knuckles, full contact. Watch Antonio wince as he absorbs bare-knuckle punches to the chest and abdomen. Punches to the face are not allowed, but kicks to the head and face are.
