A member named "Feels" posted, several months ago, a good clip showing Kyokushin tournament knock-outs. That post is probably still on this forum somewhere if you'd like to search for it.

Here's some other good sites for Kyokushin info:

http://www.australiankyokushin.com/

This site has good info on notable Kyokushin practitioners.

The Wikipedia entry for Kyokushin still needs some work but it does have some information and links to other good sources of info:

Yoshiji Soeno, nicknamed "the Tiger of Kyokushin", and founder of Shidokan Karate. In the 1970s, Soeno was the only warrior with the courage to challenge Reiba, the strongest Thai kickboxer in the world, and dubbed the "Dark Lord of Muay Thai."

The biggest difference between Kyokushin and other styles of Karate? Circular motion. Most other Karate Styles are very linear in their movements and techniques, in Kyokushin we are very circular in our movements and techniques. By the way where are you located LoveKarate.

I have met a few Aussies in my day, was at the 10th Australian open in Geelong and was at the Commomwealth Championships in Sydney. So who do you train with and what group are you with?
