Little background: Mas Oyama was his japanese name, after leaving Korea, during WW2. He was taken in by the Oyama family. He taught the two brothers, Shigeru and Yasuhiko, who split from Kyokushin in the early 80s, to form World Oyama Karate. We have a school here in Atlanta, but their main Honbu is in Birmingham AL. Tadashi Nakamura(Oyama's prized pupil) was shot in the kneecaps, in NY, for leaving Kyokushin and starting World Seido Karate(Hence why Honbu of WOK is in Birmingham, instead of NYC where they started.) It's quite a complex lineage, and now there are about 7 diff forms of kyoukushin, all which started as schools directly under Mas Oyama. The most well known are IKO1 and IKO2, run by Shokei Matsui, and Kenji Midori, respectively. Both laid claim to be successors once Mas Oyama passed away(under strange circumstance) and both are of Korean Heritage. Best not to bring this up, if you choose a Kyokushin school.

My toxic trait is that I fully believe I could complete the 100 man kumite if I had like 3 months to prepare.

Iv done karate at a young age 7 years old then went back to it when i was 15 wado ru and got black belt and was teaching for years then started mixing the arts going to different clubs and styles and in 2003 started mma but was still loving karate and it stood to my advantage because i liked fighting and sparing, then in 2010 started training kyokushin and ashihara and training with valeri Dimitrov in Bulgaria and its a very practical karate for club and street and believe me i know, Oussss from Ireland 🇮🇪

Kyokushin karate is very unique an incredible and amazing I just wish I could have had stayed in my original karate class back in 2011 I don't know what type of style of karate I was studying but if I had to take a guess I had to be shotokan karate or kyokushin karate Okinawan karate nevertheless it really was a very good class I just wish I could have stayed and then be learned it so much more and become a strong as I can be can be 😉👍

[JoesGeekShow]

That's what I do now. Mostly because no Shotokan in my immediate area but hey living in Japan and training here is already a dream come true.

Who is that guy doing the rolling thunder kick? Looks like a great fight

[TheKidNuksung]

i just think Kyokushin plus Muay thai would be deadly

[lars]

Extensive? He only trained with Gogen Yamaguchi for two years about the equivalent of brown belt

[ChrisWizzerd]

The thing about that story of a single man in the mountains with 100 men fighting in a "kumite" is just that, a watered down copycat Frank Dux story... In short, it's bull shit.

Kyokushin is what Kempo Karate isn't. Efffective
