Kyokushin Karate

Kyokushin Karate is a full contact knockdown martial art. Developed originally by Masutatsu Oyama, Kyokushin is probably the hardest karate form. The competitive part of the art is highly developed and many tournaments take place worldwide.

The physical development as well as the spiritual development are critical for Kyokushin training, which includes a wide range of technical hits with both the arm and the leg. The training is mostly divided into:

• Kihon: basic techniques
• Kata: forms
• Kumite: sparring
