"KARATE IS BACK!" - Lyoto Machida, the UFC LHW Champion

With all the Machida Karate talk lately it seems many MMA fans think that the art of Karate disappeared from MMA entirely after Harold Howard's fairly disappointing run back in 1994. Even Machida himself proclaimed that Karate is "back" right after he captured the LHW belt. Was it ever "gone"? You decide.

I present to you a list of successful Karate fighters in MMA (no particular order):

1. Lyoto Machida

2. Bas Rutten

3. Guy Mezger

4. Chuck Liddell

5. George St-Pierre

6. Semmy Schilt

7. Sam Greco

8. Andrews Nakahara

9. Frank Mir

10. Ryuta Noji

11. Vitor Belfort

New Start

Osu,

Since the Young Lions Dojo have closed down in late 2007, it has been some time since we have properly run a formal class.

We have found a new home at Ground Zero gym @ 373 Little Bourke Street, Melbourne. Classes are now held every Saturday for now, with individual training programs to improve stand up game now available.
