Training Benefits

Kyokushin is a self defense system that utilizes the whole of the human body and the ways in which it moves and twists. Techniques vary from punching and striking with the fist, hands and elbow, to kicks and strikes with the feet, shin and knees. 

To some, it is a way to develop and maintain physical strength and learn effective self-defense techniques. To others, it is much more than that. Kyokushin Karate is a way of life that transcends the physical aspects of training. Kyokushin karate is Budo Karate.

The philosophy of Budo (Martial way) is evident in the name that Sosai Mas Oyama the founder of Kyokushin Karate chose for his karate style Kyokushin, which means "Ultimate Truth".
