i've been considering going to a dojo which is part of the world oyama karate group in the us, founded by mas oyama. i was wondering, what style of karate do these dojos teach, or is oyama karate a style in it of itself, and if so what style did it originate from? also how does it compare to other styles of karate, namely okinawan karate?

World Oyama Karate is the name of the style.

 

Founded by Shigeru Oyama around 20 years ago.

 

Stylistically very similar to Kyokushin.

 

Shigeru Oyama was one of the early Kyokushin

 

people, but broke away from the main Kyokushin organization.

 

He was not related to masutatsu Oyama by blood.

 

anyway

 

he runs World Oyama with his brother .

 

for more information on the style, go to:

 

http://www.brooknet.com/oyama/index.html

 

which will answer some of your questions.

 

they inclide some weapons training such as

 

Nunchaku, Sai and Bo. simialr kata as kyokushin

 

and a couple of forms unique to their style.

 

I have watched a few classes and watched some

 

of their competitions. If you are looking for

 

Knockdown training, you will probably be pretty happy.

 

good stuff.
