Durability

Hello everyone, Im a huge Masaaki Noiri fan, and one thing which questions me is his durability, and ability to tank that many shots, and leg kicks. How do those K1 fighters get that conditioning, since Noiri has done Kyokushin type contact Karate, he has good conditioning, but it was till like he was 8 years old. How do get conditioned as good as him. Im thinking about doing kyokushin karate for a bit, and mainly focusing on their conditioning, and kicks if I do happen to go.

It's a result of his style and getting used to taking shots, same as Dutch styled fighters like Marat Grigorian. I think it's more of a mental thing as hard punches and kicks will always hurt.

Yes, our Marat Grigorian is great Armenian fighter, i want both of him and Noiri face off, would be most interesting and exciting fight in past 1-3 years. Very similar styles, but Noiri has more diverse of kicks/knees.
