A brief overview of the history of Kyokushin.
Kyokushin is a full-contact Karate style that originated in Japan. Kyokushin practice is rooted in a self-improvement philosophy, discipline, and continuous hard training.
Kyokushin, a full-contact style of stand-up fighting system, was introduced by Masutatsu Oyama during the development of the Oyama theory of Karate in Oyama Dojo since Oyama Dojo was initially opened in 1953.

In addition to regular training for Kihon, Kata, and Kumite, we train our students to learn usage weapons such as Bo, Sai, Tonfa, and Nunchucks.
During our sparring sessions, we focus on fighting techniques. All our students must wear the protection gear during sparring sessions to ensure their safety and continuous practice.
