Oyama's (the style's founder) teaching closely then you will learn a very effective martial art. However, be warned because the training is tough and yes the sparring is full contact and bare knuckle (no punches allowed to the face). This style of karate is very rich in technique, at least the way it was practised in its original form, and has even grappling and ground applications, again in its original form. I hope that you find a good school as faithful to the original kyokushinkai as possible. Good luck. Use your time on an art that is worthwhile and not on a dozen irrelevant "ways".

Enshin Karate Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Excellent style. One of the hardest stlyes to "Americanize" You will find it great to put your experience to work against the closest real fighting possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oyama's successor, Shokei Kancho Matsui, heads the IKO, the international karate oraganisation kyokushinkaikan. Try to check out dojos that belong to that organisation.
