monkeygirl Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 Well, I'm back from my search but not enlightened...the only "Iko" I found was the International Karate Organisation. Perhaps you could explain? 1st dan & Asst. Instructor TKD 2000-2003No matter the tune...if you can rock it, rock it hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SensiBasha Posted January 15, 2003 Author Share Posted January 15, 2003 Here's where mty knowledge ends and I hope one of yours can help. IKO stands for International Karate (kyokushin) organisation. When Mas Oyama died the organisation was split up into 2 original groups. Midouri and some other guy. (not sure of name. They had conflicting issues and so forth. Where I get lost is the difference between 1 2 &3 Osu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyokushin Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 That is a good question. As far as I can tell the only real difference are the people in charge of the organization. When Mas Oyama died there were three people who claimed to be the "True" successor of Sosai. Of course nobody knows who really is, and so they split into the three IKO's. Not to mention all the other little associations besides those. I would'nt think there would be a big difference in how things are run. Probably mostly just little minor details, although I haven't trained with these branches personally, I am part of the IFK (Internation Federation of Karate) headed by Hanshi Steve Arneil. I know that all the kata are the same and all.If you really want to learn about Kyokushin history I'd go to http://www.australiankyokushin.com. The site is currently under construction, but it's really great so look for it in the future. If you want to know more just ask. Osu!

Tancred Posted January 30, 2003 Share Posted January 30, 2003 This site seems have a large amount of information about the three groups. It also seems not to be pushing for one group over another, but wanting unity again. I have nothing to do with this site, or Kyokushin BTW. http://www.kyokushincanada.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobbitbob Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 It is the same problem the JKA had when Nakayama died. One strong person held the organization together. After his death, everyone wanted to run the organization. There have always been Starkadders at Cold Comfort Farm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
