Charlie Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 My fellow karatekaI Practice Ashihara Karate, aswell as Wado Ryu, I have been told that the Ashihara Karate Kata are very similar to the Kyokoshin advance Kata but I have not seen them would anyone like to advise me on this topicOsuDobbersky Does your dojo belong NIKO, AKI, or neither? I'm moving to Japan in September to western Kanagawa (Yamato-city area) and I've heard that there's a NIKO dojo in that area, but don't know for sure. If so, I hope to train there.

Osu No Seichin Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 I am curious. What are your advanced kata? Then we can go from there to see how close they are to Kyokushin advanced kata. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace2021 Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 I practiced shotokan for 3 years until I was 16 and old enough for kyokushin. Still currently doing it, brown belt. it's a very physical style as i'm sure you've heard..and I hated point sparring. But check this video out..one word: awesome.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XT8D2MOBl5s&search=Kyokushin A New Age Dawns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oahngoji Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Osu!!!Through my experience, I believe that karate is karate, we shouldn't talk about the difference in styles....Instead we should appreciate the art of karate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Beginner Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Well Ashihara Karate was founded by the late Hideyuke Ashihara who was a honbu student of Kyokushin during the 1960s, so it's very likely that the katas are very similar. Those considered 'advanced' in Kyokushin would in my opinion be, Tensho, Saiha, Scienchin, Kanku Dai, Garyu, Seipai and Sushiho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
