About Kyokushin Karate / Mas Oyama / Founder
KYOKUSHIN, which translates to "Ultimate Truth" in Japanese, was named by our founder, Masutatsu (Mas) Oyama, to represent the peak of martial arts training. It is not merely an end goal, but a continuous where dedication, perseverance, and hard work converge with strength, humility, and wisdom. Kyokushin has significantly shaped many "Full-Contact" karate schools, focusing on realistic combat, physical resilience, and practical training methods. More than just a self-defense martial art, Kyokushin Karate is a holistic system of well-being that instills lifelong skills and attitudes, promoting discipline, respect, fitness, confidence, and a supportive community. Classes are structured to accommodate all levels, welcoming of any age, gender, or physical ability to embark on their Kyokushin journey.
