Hey, i was wondering how effective is kyoksuhin karate. I am currently doing tkd and the school i go to aint that great. I also heard that kyokushin is full contact, is that true thanks for your help.

If you find a good school that teaches Mas. 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".

How do i tell if the school really is the same and not some wannabe Kyokushin school?

Once you go Kyokushin you wouldn't have it any other way. It's great.

If I am not mistaken Mas. Oyama's successor, Shokei Kancho Matsui, heads the IKO, the international karate oraganisation kyokushinkaikan. Try to check out dojos that belong to that organisation.
