Mr. Karate Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 How similar is Kyokushin compared to circular Karate styles like Shorin-Ryu and Goju-Ryu?
ShoriKid Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 Are you training Kyokushin or considering it?What little I know about Kyokushin is from books and video clips. Kyokushin is pretty linear and high impact. There are plenty of circular technique, but they are the ones common to other forms of karate like ridge hands and round kicks etc. Kisshu fushin, Oni te hotoke kokoro.

bushido_man96 Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 I think one of the practitioners here has stated that Kyokushin tends to be a mix of Goju and Shotokan, but I am not 100% clear. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
Kuma Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 I think one of the practitioners here has stated that Kyokushin tends to be a mix of Goju and Shotokan, but I am not 100% clear.The founder of Kyokushin Karate, Sosai Mas Oyama, learned Shotokan under Gichin Funakoshi and later on Goju Ryu under a senior student of Chojun Miyagi (he was eventually awarded an 8th dan by Gogen Yamaguchi). Oyama essentially combined Goju and Shotokan with jissen kumite to make Kyokushin.

And Kimure also showed him Judo, which Sosai gained his 4th Dan in as well. To fear death is to limit life - Xin Sarith Azuma Phan Wuku
Kuma Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 So Nei Chu was the name of the senior student of Miyagi's, correct.
Traymond Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 So Nei Chu was the name of the senior student of Miyagi's, correct.Oh haha I thought you were referring to Yamaguchi as his senior student...woops Sorry. To fear death is to limit life - Xin Sarith Azuma Phan Wuku

But I read so much, things can get garbled at times.... https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
Mr. Karate Posted April 9, 2009 Author Posted April 9, 2009 Thanks for the info. Looks like I'm gonna have to look into some other styles and dojos.
Soheir Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 (edited) Oyama also trained Daito-ryu Aiki-jujutsu So unnecessary to answer to this now...

Most people dabble their way through life, never deciding to master anything in particular.” -Anthony Robbins
