Kodokan Judo was created By a small frail man named Dr. Jigoro Kano...he was a master Ju Jutsu practitioner who trained at many schools.....
As Japan began to adopt western culture Ju Jutsu started to become obsolete...other than a few masters that taught family members....
Kano who trained at many schools decided to try to save Ju Jutsu....so he combined all the knowledge from the schools he trained....

Dutch Kickboxing (Netherlands)
Mixture of Kyokushin Karate, Western Boxing, Muay Thai
Biggest Differences between Muay Thai & Dutch Kickboxing
more emphasis on footwork, more combos with punches & kicks, most gyms train heavy in Western Boxing more head movement better hands.....
Muay Thai kicks are done with the shins making them very powerful....while Dutch Kickboxing uses the foot....

Kyokushin Karate (Japan)
Founder Master Masutatsu Oyama was a student of Goju Ryu (Karate) & Judo for years until he decided to start his own Dojo....He retreated to the mountains for an annual well known solitary training period....he developed Kyokushin also known as the "Ultimate Truth"....he combined his knowledge from Western Boxing, Judo, Goju Ryu & Shotokan Karate...
the style reflects its founder....Oyama was a strong man...He is known as the father of Full contact Karate....Kyokushin emphasizes realistic combat, physical toughness & the war of attrition...
Kumite (sparring) is full contact....punches to the head are illegal although they train strikes to the head...they are also 100 man Kumite....
UFC's WW champ GSP, Dolph Lundgren & Micheal Jai White have Black Belts in this style.....
