Kyokushin is a style of stand-up, full contact karate founded by Masutatsu Oyama in 1964. Kyokushin is Japanese for "ultimate truth." A very practical method of self defense, Kyokushin is deeply rooted in the philosophies of self-improvement and discipline. Unlike other sports, martial arts is a lifestyle of training focused on the five aspects of fitness: mentally, physically, socially, emotionally and spiritually. Focus is placed on doing your personal best and not on being better than others.
