For a black stripe test, our instructor put me through a 12 hour cycle of technical demos, calisthenics, and topped it off with a 10 minute abbreviated kumite with 10 fresh opponents. It was a magnificent trial. I needed a week off from work to recover.

[mysteryskate]

I went to a free kyokushin class it was hard and I got discouraged but the instructor spoke with me after class and he motivated me so I signed up and got my uniform tomorrow I officially start with my uniform and white belt. OSU 🥋

I have trained for decades in several martial arts. Never in Kyokushin but from what I have seen of it I am impressed. It seems to breed tough, skilled fighters!

[TheGoldenDiscHenryTGD]

Kyokushin, one of my favorite martial art styles of the branch of Karate.

[Dopple_G]

I will forever love kyokushin and being a practitioner of it, it really brought out a lot out of me as an individual, even changed my way of how i used to think, it brings nothing but positivity and improvement 🥋🥋🥋

[tevesjuliusrey]

With great power comes with great responsibility.Kyokushin karate made me a totally new man

[amospizzey]

I’m a lifelong student of martial arts
my foundation is JKA Shotokan .
IMHO Kyokushin is the ultimate truth in striking .
I’ve trained with many of their students and they are literally hard line steel .
Respect always the purity of the style remaining unbroken .
OSU 🥋🙏🏻

Love this documentary. just one correction in the translation in the name - just to translate it as "ultimate truth" can be seen as an arrogant statement... page 105 - the Kyokushin Way - "the ultimate goal of the martial way is to break all such attachments, including the greatest, the attachment to life and the fear of death resulting from it. and this is the aim of my karate, as the name Kyokushin-kai(Association for the SEARCH for Ultimate Truth) indicates. " - Oyama Sosai - 1979.

I met him when I was 7 years old he came to my school my dad bought his book autographed I was seven and a mere white belt. I don’t have it anymore. I just remember my Sensei who was a beast in his own right completely submitted to this man with the red belt . I believe he came to see his student and see how he was developing we were all white yellow and blue belts so I sure he was giving him his support

[wachtlerviktor]

As a 32nd year student of Kyokushin I could say that this is one of the best videos out here about our style. Arigato gozaimasu! OSU!

[kristianjosh]

Seeing Celebrities respect Kyokushin is very honorable. Keep Karate alive everyone!

Great video - Thanks a lot. Worth exploring Hanshi Steve Arneil in the UK is one of the early pioneers of Kyokushin. He is part of the IFK (BKK) organisation

[gigih.]

Thank you! I haven't trained in karate in about 12 years. I reached Nidan rank and then my son was born...and life. Recently I've been missing training and want to return. A lot to remember and a body to recondition. I've been running for years, but I've lost a lot of flexibility. Those days were the best of my life. My Nidan test was about 5 hours and I cannot remember how many people I had to fight, but I think it was around 25ish. They worked us hard! But I loved every minute of it!

[akapantsusenpai]

Great history of Kyokushin Karate! I used to practice Seido Kaikan Karate in Tokyo. I wonder if you could do a video on some of the more famous fighters of Kyokushin Karate (e.g. Andy Hug, Francisco Filho, Glaube Feitosa, Nicholas Pettas, etc).

[aaronharris]

I remember seeing the kyokushin documentary 'Fighting Black Kings' from the 1970s, 10 years ago! Even though I train in shotokan, Mas Oyama got me hooked on karate! Thanks for the upload my friend!

[escrotte]

Great video! I'm a blue belt in kyokushin and your videos helps me to learn more about this art. Thank you 🤜🤛

[deathroid]

I am proud and lucky to be a practitioner of Kyokushin Karate
.

[Mutilator]

much respect for kyokushin karate from a muay thai fighter

[MaxPayne]

3:45 This is a rated G version of Mas Oyama's story. He also faced a LOT of racism in Japan since he was a "Josenjin." That was one of the reasons he ended up going into isolation to train for years.

[chudheadquarters]

"Mas Oyama kept a very strict regimen training at least 12 hours a day, no days off, under cold waterfalls, breaking stones and logs and even using trees as a makiwara." wow what a champ
