Description

Kyokushin is a full-contact style of karate founded by Masutatsu (Mas) Oyama in 1953. Known for its emphasis on physical conditioning, bare-knuckle sparring, and powerful strikes, Kyokushin became one of the most influential karate styles worldwide. The style emphasizes kihon (fundamentals), kata (forms), and kumite (sparring), with a distinctive training regimen that includes makiwara striking, body conditioning, and tameshiwari (breaking techniques). Kyokushin kaikan is the organization that governs the style internationally.
