If I were to move back to Japan, I would love to train with Nicholas Pettas. When I lived there, it was so important to me to stay with the organization. I missed some great training opportunities, not that I had it bad.
In this vid, Nick is talking about different ways to deal with a middle kick. He illustrates his approach which depends on whether the kick is from the front or rear leg.

You're welcome guys. It is interesting to see Nicholas Pettas teach a class.

What's always been interesting to me is that Nicholas, Glaube, and Francisco really got their start in transitioning from Kyokushin to Kickboxing (K-1) from Maurice Smith...and a bit from Haru Shimanishi (HMC/AMC founder). I'm not taking anything away from Nicholas at all, I've communicated with him quite a bit 1.5 years back or so, and met him once by chance when I had Glaube autograph a magazine of mine when I was still a teen.
Nicholas still teaches knockdown karate/kickboxing, he has a small group which he doesn't advertise much. I know his standards are fairly high, which is no surprise, too.
Osu!

It is pretty easy to meet Kyokushin celebrities, even the big wigs. Just go to their dojo.  . Tournaments are also a good place to catch up with forum friends. |

I got to train with him at the original Honbu for about a week in 1998. He's a good teacher and a no nonsense kind of guy.
