“Kyokushin” pronounced Key-o-ku-shin, means “Ultimate
Truth”. Kyokushin Karate is a Japanese style that was
born in the pursuit of ultimate truth of mind, technique, and
body. Karate was developed over a thousand years ago not
only as a form of unarmed combat but as a way to
discipline the body in order to improve the spirit. By
practicing Karate, one can increase his/her alertness, self-
awareness and self-confidence by conditioning the body by
improving speed, strength, and coordination. It is to
achieve the unity of body and spirit.
Kyokushin Karate has been known as “The strongest
karate”, not only because of the incredible feats of
strength and endurance that Founder Masutatsu Oyama
performed, but also because of the rigorous requirements
of the training and tournaments. The founder, Sosai
Masutatsu Oyama, often said that the difference between
sports and the Budo Way is the path of self-discipline.
Sports can always be associated with a game in some form
or another where people compete for leisure, money, or
fame. The Budo way is never these since it was developed
from harsh-living situations where one must fight for their
life in the midst of human suffering and pain - this can
either be of the mental or physical kind. The Budo Way is
this challenge in life itself. Kyokushin Karate was founded
by a man who was dedicated to the Budo Way. The reason
Kyokushin fighters become the strongest under Mas
Oyama's teaching is that they train for real-life application.
The late karate legend, Mas Oyama, said time and time
again that the most important element of Kyokushin
karate was the BUDO SPIRIT which encompasses
elements of proper behavior, courtesy, the spirit of Osu,
and good will towards man, in addition of course to fighting
prowess.
Shihan Kenji Fujiwara was an uchi-deshi, (live-in student)
of Mas Oyama for three years, and was sent to the United
States by Mas Oyama to teach Kyokushin Karate. He is
the Master of the Kyokushin-Kan International Karate
Organization in the United States and teaches at his dojo
located in Cromwell, Connecticut. The World
Headquarters in Japan were officially opened in June
1964, where the name Kyokushin was adopted. From then,
Kyokushin continued to spread to more than 120 countries,
and registered members exceed 12 million making it one of
the largest martial arts organizations in the world.
Kyokushin Karate is known as the most powerful karate in
the world.
