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.
