Mas Oyama studied
the martial arts for most of his life, from Korean to Chinese
and Japanese styles. He developed Kyokushin Karate (from what
he believed to be the best elements of each) into a practical,
no-nonsense and effective defence art. Kyokushin is comprised
of two Japanese words: Kyoku meaning ultimate and
Shin meaning truth. The Kyokushin style is practiced
throughout the world by millions of Karate-ka and is
recognized as the Strongest Karate. The style is
characterized by strong, powerful, circular techniques - Kicks
- Strikes - Blocks
and throws. This combination of hand and foot makes Kyokushin
the ultimate in self-defence. Training and conditioning is
rigorous and strenuous. Sparring is with both full and semi
contact. |
