#originofkyokushin - Sport
Kyokushin changed my life at the age 11. Now I'm almost 60.... it's still with me.
Congrats!!! Keep on the good work!!!
I started learning kyokushin for fighting some bodybuilder bullies in college and I hope it helps me too to change my life. OSU
Which version did you learn
Osu !
Kyokushin may have changed your life but,
The Lord Jesus Christ will save it. Mas Oyama died an early death at seventy and never came back.
The Lord Jesus Christ died but can back to life in three days and will never die because he is the son of God.
For we are not fighting against people made of flesh and blood, but against persons without bodies-the evil rulers of the unseen world, those mighty satanic beings and great evil princes of darkness who rule this world; and against huge numbers of wicked spirits in the spirit world. Ephesians 6:12
Osu, Mr. Dan! How you're doing?
I'm a 1st Dan Black Belt of Kyokushin Karate since December 2017. I graduated here in Brazil (my birthplace), which hosts, as far as I am aware of, the toughest Black Belt exam all over the world. I had the honor of being examined by our World Champion, Shihan Francisco Filho, among our most reverred local Shihans.
I came across your series of three videos about Kyokushin Karate right after watching "Fighter in the wind", and I must say this is the most graceful, precise and comprehensive documentary about Kyokushin Karate I've ever seen on CZcams. Thank you so much for dedicating your time and effort on producing it! And as yourself, I also regret seeing our organization subdivided into so many countless branches, instead of keeping people united under Master Oyama's legacy. Unfornately, politics are present even where it is least expected.
My best wishes for you from Brazil! Looking forward to watch your next videos. :)
Thank you so much for the kind words!
I am so glad Filho Shihan stepped away from IKO. IKO is shrinking in size every year and changing so much that it’s softening.
I said this before, and I will say it once more, you really outdone yourself when doing the history and origin of Kyokushin Karate (the art I studied for 3 yrs and continuing) and actually you are right in street fighter, Ryu and Ken's fighting style (Ansatsuken) is based on real Kyokushin, in fact there is one fruitful fact about Ryu, he is actually based on real Karate-ka (and Mas Oyama's student) Yoshiji Soeno! Also one of the characters that you showed from Tekken was Jin Kazama which his style is based on Kyokushin, the kata he was practicing was Yantsu! BTW Kyokushin-Kan is one of the branches I train in. OSU!
Ah! Even cooler still I didn't know that!
The Sakazaki family of Art of Fighting/ King of Fightes (Takuma, Ryo abd Yuri) Kyokugen Karate is also based on Kyokushin.
awesome, i never knew that either!
I have been doing Kyokushin karate for 3 weeks now and I love it!
The video was well put together and provided a lot of history
Saaame
Respect, I'm going back tomorrow! It's only been about 20 years I truly look forward to the mental spiritual and physical challenges. after losing my family this year I have strengthened a lot. This is going to be where in break through. All the best in your journey
I wish i began as a Kyokushin Karate Athlete instead of Shotokan because i am a strong guy with strong bones and i know kyokushin is the best for me because of my toughness rather than shotokan which is all about soft touches to score your points. Kudos to Kyokushin Karate and much love from Nigeria. Osu
I really prefer when students go on to create their own variations of Kyokushin (Enshin, Kudo, Ashihara, etc...) without arguing who deserves to be the leader of Kyokushin and the successor of Sosai Mas Oyama
You left out Seido Karate founded by Tadashi Nakamura, who founded his school in NYC in 1976 before the other offshoots you mentioned. Then there was World Oyama Karate founded by Shigeru Oyama, Mas Oyama's first real student. He was also a Korean living in Japan, and in fact it was his family Mas Oyama stayed with when he first arrived in Japan and so he adopted Oyama as his Japanese name from his family. I studied under both in NYC. In fact, it was when he was still teaching Kyokushin that I saw Mas Oyama in person when he visited the school in the 80's, but I only saw him from a distance.
Kyokushin In video games... as mentioned in the video Jin Kazama from Tekken trains in Kyokushin. Ryo Sakazaki from King of Fighters along with his father Takuma and Robert Garcia train in Kyokugen Karate which is in fact Kyokushin. Jean Kujo from Virtua Fighter is a Kyokushin fighter and so is Hayate in his Ein alter ego in Dead or Alive.
jin kazama has the most realistic looking kyokushin hands down
Hitomi in Dead or alive fighting game series uses ashihara kaikan, just like ein who s mentioned. It s very realistic looking in the game. And She practice pin an sono yun kata from kyokushin. in trailer, and opening scene of game.
Politics ruin martial arts. Kenpo also faced this when Ed Parker died. Ego facing ego. There is a sadness to this. Some truly great Kenpo masters are left out of most conversations because of politics. Skip Hancock comes to mind.BTW: brilliant series of vids. I would like to request a similar series on kali/eskrima... Not unknown to many Kenpoists thanks to Dan Inosanto :)
Ryu in Street Fighter was inspired by Mas Oyama himself or at least one of his students. Jin Kazama in Tekken 4 onwards uses Kyokushin because the plot was that Jin felt betrayed when his grandfather Heihachi Mishima shot him in his Tekken 3 ending, thus Jin’s backstory explains how he despised his family lineage, and stopped using the Mishima style.
well actually Ryu from street fighter was based on real martial artist (and Mas Oyama's student) Yoshiji Soeno!
One of the Greatest of All Time MMA fighter for the UFC, Georges St. Pierre has background in Kyokushin (3rd dan black belt).
I started in kyokushin in 1987 in Brooklyn (branch) NY. Them something happened that it got separated and established the name USA Oyama from where I got my first degree black belt in 1990. Thanks for the video it is good.
Must have been under Shigeru Oyama. He broke off in the 80s to form World Oyama Karate.
@@IrishKyokushin yes.
I'm currently in NYC training in World Oyama Karate. Osu!
Kyokushin-kan Karate is the best style of Kyokushin (For me, that is). They allow face punches with MMA-esque gloves (They call it Shinken-Shobu). The founder is Hatsuo Royama who is also a direct student of Mas Oyama.
I think Street Fighter was inspired by the Karate vs. Muay Thai bouts in the 50s and 60s (Ryu and Sagat). When Mas Oyama sent his 3 students to fight Muay Thai Fighters, the Karatekas won 2-1. This established Kyokushin karate as the Strongest Karate.
Kyokushin-kan is IKO-6 right? I'm confuse wether to choose Matsui's IKO 1 or Royama's Kyokusin-kan (IKO 6), please help me!
Thought Ryu was shotokan Karate!
He knows his history yes but it's 1rst dan not don fist dan black
The training is brutal much respect
@@saagar66 nope, unfortunately, none of his move have anything to do with Shotokan karate!
Very good analysis of Kyokushin! Iwas a student from 1972 and was Shodan when I left Tokyo in mid 1973. Most of the instructors are known from that time, sadly, some have passed away. In a fight style Kyokushin remains undisputed.Karate has gained a lot from this style...However, karate will not develop into an Olympic competition with all these splinter groups and divisions.The public attendance to Kyokushin tournaments testifies that by numbers Kyokushin is winning the vote on what Karate should be. To be a truly successful system of combat all the karate schools must unite. Sadly there is the problem, Politics comes into play and egos have got in the way.

Osu! from the humble Kyokushin white belt I am, from the Gaspé, Québec, Canada. Your three videos series is very interesting.
I can't believe the amount of information you pack into these videos, and couldn't begin to imagine the amount of research you have to put into making these videos. But I greatly appreciate all the hard work you do for us. Chalk up another great video to end another great video set.
Very Nice Job on the whole series. I thought there was one omission is that of Shoshu Shigeru Oyama as a founder of his own offshoot "World Oyama karate" He is a fascinating martial artist and worth investigating. OSU!
I'm 33, just started taking kyokushin a couple months ago. Never did any kind of sports or martial arts in my life (asthma was big factor in that). But I'm sticking with it. Always wanted to learn some martial arts. It's hard, but there is many benefits to this.
This is truly one of your best series! Greetings from a 1st dan Taekwondo blackbelt.
I'm a Kyokushin karateka and for a long time I've found it is very pittyful that Kyokushin now is different than in the 70"s when I began. Your movie changed my point of view: now I can see not only the bad things about it. Thank you! We can say that the many divisions and derivations of Kyokushin allow almost everybody to evolve to develop his/her own martial art. Evolution is one of the most important things in Martial Arts. Sosai Oyama's life itself was soaked by evolution: from his own training to the time that he went to Thailand with his students to test his karate against Muay Thai, and learned from the defeats. These things are the best points of Kyokushin. To be open, to be realistic, to work hard, to constantly test and learn with/against others. Shihan Steve Arneil from UK pointed out in a vlog (the Martial Way) that Oyama encouraged everyone to develop his/her own karate. We can say that is the paradox of having styles or schools in Karate or other Martial Arts. Saying that there is no Kyokushin karate there, but in fact your karate or my karate, so to speak. OSU!
Kyokushin won 2 of the 3 fights in competition against the Muay Thai
Osu!! 7th kyu from sweden here. Great video :)
Im almost a 9th kyu... (Don't judge me!!)
In the end, it doesn't matter who is in charge of a school or 0rganization of a style of martial art; it matters more if that style can be taught to others successfully. Sounds like Mas Oyama was successful in that regard...
I’m a Kyokushin pupil (4th kyu) and it has been amazing, not just a bunch of badass people, but a family to have fun with, you were right the last video OSU it’s all for us 😊🙇♀️
Once again, great job! It's a shame that the Kyokushin system fragmented the way it did but a lot of great systems came from it. I train in World Oyama Karate with Saiko Shihan Yasuhiko Oyama and have been blessed to have evolved from Kyokushin into my current system.
Osu!!! Well done, well told. I am a 4th Kyu based in Brisbane training under Sensei Dominic Hopkins.
Jimmy Smith former ufc and bellator analyst and former mma fighter is one of the fight quest fighters
Osu! thank you for your videos on Kyokushin!
My sensei and I have been with Kyokushin all our lives and with everything that has happen with the politics, we decides to go with shinkyokushin.
Its by far the best decision made by our shian.
Speech less Sensei, i dont know how to even praise.
Keep being a badass Sensei, OSU.
Well done series !!! Over the years Street Fighter characters Ryu and Ken have been associated with Goju Ryu, Kyokushin, and Shotokan Karate predominantly with Ryu being heavily inspired by Mas Oyama however their official Canonical style is called Ansatsuken Karate. A fictional Karate style so as not to offend or mislead about any particular type of Karate.
Agreed. They definitely didn’t want to offend any style because they wanted to create an all around Karate fighter. Ryu was based on Mas Oyama (story wise) but his style is hybrid now over time. His stance alone is not pure Kyokushin as many think. He’d be standing like Sagat if it was. He uses Shotokan, Kyokushin, Goju, Judo, (maybe TKD), and Kickboxing. Ryu and Ken’s style was originally called Shotokan (which it really wasn’t THAT different from as many say, especially full contact Shotokan). But Anasatsuken fits more. I actually practice Shotokan and cross train with Kyokushin. All of their attacks are found in both styles, just utilized differently. Judo throws are used in both but more used in Shotokan and Gedan Mawashi Geri is in both but more used in Kyokushin for example. So they created a fictional style to portray an art that could be all around. Distanced and up close and personal. Basically a Japanese MMA. Very fitting for someone who lives to fight all styles. It also clearly shows as all the “Shotos” have their own stances and styles that its a diverse art. Many even consider Lyoto Machida the real life Ryu with his looks, style, and ambitions going into the UFC and revolutionizing the effectiveness of Karate in MMA. If Ansatsuken was real, I think many of us would be down to learn it! In my honest opinion though, Jin Kazama represents Kyokushin the best and newcomer Lidia Sobieska represents Shotokan the best.
I met Sensei Fogarasi at a seminar in Canada and he is a very good ambassador of Kyokushin with a really good spirit and attitude. Osu!
I dosen't matter how hard my Black Belt promotion was back in 2001, it dosen't compare what students have to endure to earn a black belt in Kyokushin. Much earned respect.
Even with the split, it does seem the different factions still compete with each other, so at least there's that
Great video! All three kyokushin videos were great! :) and tbh as a guy who grew up watching fighting/martial arts shows and movies and anime and playing fighting and martial arts related video games like mortal kombat and street fighter, Ryu and Ken's fighting style(ansatsuken) being based on kyokushin, Ryu being based off a real life kyokushin fighter and Mas Oyama's student Yoshiji Soeno and the style of Jin Kazama(the tekken character you showed) being kyokushin are some of the several reasons I want to learn kyokushin. I also I have done research on Ashihara Karate and Enshin karate before and have interest in training in those styles too :).
Please cover brazilian jiu jitsu and or luta livre. Or catch wrestling
Kyokushin Kai kempo jutsu and ALL REAL kenpo/Kempo is geared towards Street fighting and SD unlike other systems. JJ is great and must be added to your kempo to complete it but you don't want to be on the ground in a real fight where knives will SURELY be introduced. Oss and respect 🐅🐉 🙏🏾🙏 💪🏾
I'd like to see something like this on Hapkido
Thank you ART OF ONE DOJO for yet another in depth research into kyokushin karate. You have strengthened my resolve in staying true to the teaching of Sosai Mas Oyama and in teaching it to future generations as well. The information shared resonates with my (modest) findings from my own personal research.
Thank you for these 3 series. I will include them as a study reference for my future students.
Osu!
4th Kyu, Uganda.
Thank you for giving praise whe
THANK YOU Mr Dan .OSU.
This three part series on the history of Kyokushin was fascinating. I’m not a martial artist, but I’ve always loved martial arts movies and fighting games, so after learning that the karate style used by Daniel and Miyagi is an adaptation of Goju-Ryu and Jin Kazama from Tekken’s motion capture was done by a practitioner of Kyokushin, it made me interested in learning about the history of the many sub styles of karate. Learning that Kyokushin takes concepts from both Goju-Ryu and Shotokan Karate is quite fascinating as well. I guess what I’m trying to say that it is really cool to learn about the real life history of arts I have enjoyed seeing in media.
Nice video again Dan 👍 always enjoy your presentations and content. Look forward to seeing the upcoming weeks episodes! 😊
The first American Kyokushin Karate Dojo was opened By Don Buck. Later founder of the American Kyokushin Karate Organization (akko.us)
Awesome work
Awesome video series. I really enjoy your channel. Thank you.
Thank you for the excellent history lesson. These videos have been awesome. Keep up the great work.
Excellent series. Informative and interesting. Thank you
mass respect for oyima his art is beautiful
Yet again an excellent video, to what has been an excellent, general overview, of the chronological history of Kyokushin Karate. In this video it was great to see the vast influence, that Sosai Oyama Masutatsu had, not only on his students and the various factions that emerged after his death. However also the great evolution of Kyokushin Karate, into the other arts such as Ashihara, Seidokaikan, Enshin Karate, Kudo and the other arts, that were created from these masters, who were once all Kyokushinkaikan Karate students and highly established practitioners.
Kyokushin Karate has indeed expanded into the entertainment media, in video games such as Street Fighter, Tekken, Fatal Fury, The King of Fighters, Dead or Alive, as well as the K-1 World Grand Prix kickboxing video games itself, where the style and inspiration and its influence can be clearly seen. When it comes to films, Michael Jai White, as well as Dolph Lundgren are the best representatives and highly profiled celebrities, in the cinematic world of Hollywood. In the fighting spheres of professional fighting organisations such as kickboxing, the UFC, Pancrase, former UFC Heavyweight champion Bas Rutten fifth dan black belt in Kyokushin Karate from Holland, along with former UFC Welterweight champion Gorges St. Pierre a third dan black belt in Kyokushin Karate, from Canada, the late Andy Hug from Zurich, Switzerland a former European Kyokushin Karate champion, as well as former kickboxing champion and the winner of the 1996 K-1 World Grand Prix, have been some of the best practitioners and ambassadors of the art, in various martial arts competitions of various rules, outside of the Kyokushin Karate Organisation itself.
Thank you once again Sensei Dan for the hard work, dedication and commitment that you and your colleagues, have assigned and devoted to this three part series, honouring and promoting our Kyokushin Karate with the wider martial arts community, throughout the world. Very much greatly appreciated and deeply honoured, as a Kyokushin Karate practitioner myself. Looking forward to your up and coming videos on the future arts that you will be documenting! 👍 ☺ ✌ Osu!
Kyokushin is truly an outstanding art. And Sosai Oyama an innovator. I'm proud to be among other kyokushin black belts and pass on my knowledge to next generation.
Great video my friend
Mr. Dan, you've done a very very good job with this series!!! Thank you!
Great stuff, I'm a fan 👍🏼
Osu, thank you for the beautiful series about Kyokushinkai. Osu, sensei André Terink (4th Dan, the Netherlands)
Outstanding. One of the most enjoyable videos I have seen on CZcams in a while. Same for the first two videos in this series. Thank you for your excellent, and fair-minded work.
Great video thank you for sharing.
yes! i enjoyed the 3 parts. Very educational and unbiased. Keep the good work with your channel. OSU.
Very good work!
his manual helped me in my experience
Very well presented history of Kyokushinkai. Thank you for putting this together.
Martin
2.Dan Kyokushin
Osu
Please make one About Ninjutsu history please ??
Also I think an episode on the history of northern Shaolin or wing chun kung fu would be interesting
well presented videos and excelent information gatering... two thumbs up
Thank you for effort in spreading knowledge to the Martial Art community. Keep up the good work.
This is a really interesting mini documentary, you should be proud of yourself to have a hobby and be able to make something like this
Thank you very much, that means a lot. This was a really amazing project to work on, I have a much better appreciation for the art now having done this. We would love to do more of these with more arts. I do video production by trade and this project is a passion for us, but it takes a lot of time and resources. We set up a Patreon in the hopes that we can route more energy and production resources to more episodes like this one with more arts.
So many arts we want to cover, we get a TON of requests for Judo, Shotokan, BJJ, Wing Chun, and other arts.
Very well done.
This is my art for the past 46 years i started in 1977 at the age 13. Under my master jose Angel Martines in PR. 🇵🇷
I loved this series! I think you should do these on more styles of karate and other martial arts.
I personally practise shotokan, but love watching documentaries on other martial arts styles!!
Thank you! Yes we're planning on doing more arts, but these documentaries take a lot of time and our production resources. We produce videos by trade but we want to focus on more of these. Unfortunately we're only able to do them every few months, unless the channel grows large enough that we can route more resources to this project. Help us spread our Patreon link and build up support and we can do more of these a lot more often.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for being a part of our channel :)
Kyokushin is a very strong powerful style of Karate 🥋 plus Koykushin is the style of karate that focuses on striking.
I have enjoyed these videos. The information is great. I learned a lot about Kyokushin Karate. I like that martial arts.
Cool sir 👍
Thanks once again
great work, i really have to start training Kyokushin
Osu!
Thank you for putting this series together, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I started with Kyokushin Karate in 1984, and got my Shodan in 1989. -Finishing with a brutal 40 man fight. I took over running a dojo for several years in 1993. But the politics really ruined it for me at that time. Part of the attraction of martial arts is the comraderie and fellowship you have with your brethren in other dojo, cities or countries. You may be fighting each other at the competition but become firm friends at the party afterwards!
However, soon after Sosai died and organisations splintered I was 'told' not to speak to this person or that person as they were now with another faction. I found this upsetting, and ignored any such demands. Politics has no place in the dojo or in bushido in my view. -I am sure that this splintering has settled down somewhat since.
I have not trained for several years, it is a tough style as you age, particularly when you forget your age and try to do what you did easily at 20! But I will be going back to some Kyokushin training in the new year.
Thanks again for a great video series.
OSU!
Awesome! I would love to hear your experience on what it's like to go back.
Love it! We done.
Im not the only one in the comments but would like to add that I would also love to learn about sanda if you can look into it.
Great videos. I started martial arts when I was a kid and continued in many styles over the years Held Black belt rank in Shotokan and Kenpo But was never really satisfied.I started Kyokushin at 47 and graded to Shodan earlier this year at 52. Can honestly say it was the hardest thing I have ever done. Hopefully I will be here until I retire(if I ever do) I feel like I have finally found my spiritual home.I would highly recommend Kyokushin to anyone either male or female looking for a challenge!!Great channel keep up the good work . Osu!!!!!!!!
Once again great video with a lot of information.
As you mentioned in your video, when a master dies or retires EGO steps in. I have seen where ego and money are a driving force to take over an organization.
As lower ranks don't see the fight for power, the upper ranks do.
Very interesting video and narration - bravo for the Author! :)
I practiced karate and I can tell you that even "warming up" was so hardcore that for many ppl it would be difficult to stand, but warming up was only beginning of real training :) In kyokushin there's no joke, it's style invented for real fight (no pathetic points) and being very effective
Thanks for making this series it was very comprehensive and i enjoyed watching it. Ive been training kyokushin for 5yrs and i wanted to add a few things. Sosai was also proficient in tae kwon do. This can be seen in the fact that we use kicking techniques not found in traditional karate. Such as axe, crescent and spinning hook kicks.
In the video you mentioned that Sosai created ura katas he also created kicking katas. 4 of them to be exact. They follow the taikyoku movement pattern with kicks instead of punches.
Also Sosai achieved a black belt in daito ryu aiki jujutsu. Which can be seen in some the self defense techniques he teaches in some of his original books such as this is karate. The student that he sent to hawaii, bobby lowe, was famous for teaching these techniques.
The roundhouse kick that we use in Kyokushin is not a traditional karate roundhouse either. The chamber is brought up and cuts down on the leg making contact with the shin and using a full pivot to drive the kick in. As opposed to karate and tae kwon do roundhouses that tap with the top of the foot. This was taken from muay thai after Sosai had a few fighters go to thailand to defend karate against thai boxing challengers in the 60s. Sosai kept the chamber of the karate roundhouse and took the shin idea from muay thai
In closing i want to share something that ive learned through training Kyokushin. More significant than the styles that Sosai trained to develop the different physical techniques of Kyokushin are the mentalities of Karate and Judo that he combined. Karate is meant to be sharp and fast where as Judo is known for being tough and strong. By combining these mentalities Sosai created a tough Karate which is something that ive never seen discussed.
Overall I really enjoyed the series. Well done.
Do a vídeo about Sanda please.
Always believed this was the strongest of Karate styles...
OSS Thanks for alls!
AMAZING PRESENTATION!!!!...👍👍👍👍👍 all across the board!.Ous!
In our tournaments, those wearing headgears and other forms of protection are usually those who are below 18 years old and to some extent, senior fighters say above 36 years old.
The split has affected Kyokushin for sure. In my city, which is not in Japan, there are dojo's of at least 3 organisations - IKO, WKO, and a national karate federation. I have moved, and there are no IKO dojos nearby, so my 5 years of study and achievements (I suppose) wouldn't matter in other schools' dojos
I love your videos, very thorough. Any chance you will post videos of techniques done at your dojo, some instructional videos? I would love to see those.
Thank you, I appreciate the kind words :)
As far as instructional videos, I do plan to give an occasional tip and technique discussion here and there, however as far as actual instructional videos and Kenpo techniques, probably not for the main channel but we are talking about it potentially being bonus content or Patreon exclusive. We're still exploring that.
Osu!! 1st Dan from South Africa here. Great video man!
Much respect to you Sensei for your hard work on sourcing this info, I've join a Shidokan dojo a few months ago. If you can please can you do a video on it as my understanding is that it is also an offshoot of Kyokushin karate
I studied in KyokushinKai for about five years as a kid. A car wreck messed up my lower back pretty bad and took me out of any athletic activity for a while. My dojo was in the religious association of different karate styles. As far as I can remember they didn't have any international affiliations and I don't think it was anything other than most of the instructors being baptist preachers.
Excellent Do one on Wado Karate please
The best representation of Kyokushin in any video game is the character Kyo in the ART OF FIGHTING series.
Still kyokushinkai has the hardest and roughest conditioning ever
Nice
Amazing videos! Greetings from France! Osu!
Great video series, I hope you do other styles. I'd love to see one on Jeet Kune do. Thanks.
Love this series. I request if you could do the History of Savate or JKD, that would be great!
I would love to, it's just a matter of being able to dedicate the time and production resources to make these, these take more work than regular episodes. Help us spread the Patreon link around, the more supporters we get the more often we can do these :) Thank you for being one of our regular viewers :)
I would love to see you put a video together about Kajukenbo!!
Unfortunately division in Kyokushin is so bad, that some branches will not train with or acknowledge other branches. I know one member who talked about how much they enjoyed training with another individual. But when second individual left their style of kyokushin, the first stopped associating with him. Even I have had people cut ties with me because I left a group in kyokushin. And the leader even served as justice of peace in when I married my wife. It's a shame the core of kyokushin and the brotherhood has been lost to some.
Division and politics really do become a poison, and people get more focused on the "gang" mentality rather than diversity in the arts. Kenpo is very much along these same lines and it's really sad that people choose to draw these lines.
The ironic thing is...you talk about people who won't associate with another Kyokushin individual because they are in a different organization, yet they have NO problem training in and associating with another art altogether. It's just silly ego nonsense.
At my Kyokushin Karate dojo, my master does not forbid association with members of other Kyokushin Karate Organisations. In other words I can be friends with whomever I want, train with them privately in terms of our friendships, outside of our own respective dojos and organisations.
However I do not go and train at their dojo, or vice versa they come and train at our dojo. Simply put we respect our instructors and our own organisations. Should an individual wish to come to our dojo and start training with us, completely, due to them having relocated from another state, country, or as a result of the proximity to their work. They are welcome to do so and their individual rank, coloured belt, etc is still recognised by our dojo. If what they have learned is not enough, to match the same level of what those our dojo know at their rank. We do not demote them, but rather bring them up at the required standard, in terms of their knowledge and skills. Other than that we acknowledge and respect, as well as welcome anyone who chooses to transfer to our dojo.
We of course do not allow people to train at our dojo, who then choose to train at various dojos, just out of their own individual pleasure and leisure, of wanting to do so. In other words we expect loyalty to our dojo, as it would not be nice to train under different masters or teachers, at several dojos, at the same time. Just my opinion as one should be respectful, appreciative and grateful, of the time and effort, that a master puts into teaching and increasing, that individual's knowledge and personal development, as a martial artist.
@@Soldier-of-God. Glad to hear such open-minded attitude. It's a shame that "martial artists" can be so closed minded. Martial arts is about respect.
@@ArtofOneDojo Exactly sometimes a gang mentality is presented. Martial artists should be respectful of each other and styles. As long as they're legitimate.
@@SempaiMarc you are correct, unfortunately for too many individuals, politics and their ego gets in the way of respect, benevolence, humility and courtesy.
Hey Mr Dan another great episode. I really enjoyed wathching all of you Kyokushi episodes. I would like to suggest Kajukenbo as a new potential video. I did some research into it after seeing if on Fight Quest. It uses Kempo as its base so id be really interested in what you think about it and how it differs from your Kempo.
I get requests for Kajukenbo frequently, this is probably one we'll dive into in the near future.
of which i am a member since 2000
Pretty safe to say, that if my Grandmaster "Kaicho" Tadashi Nakamura, had not resigned from Kyokushin in 1976 & started his own style, SEIDO Karate based in NYC, he wudve been handpicked as his successor. Oyama sent Kaicho to the US to develop and run Kyokushin. When Kaicho decided to start his own style in '76, he had grown Kyokushin to be represented in almost every key city/region in this great land of ours. Kaicho wz also main instructor @ the first real Oyamo dogo, as well as, instructing @ the Camp Yuma US Army Base nearby.
Kaicho was also part of the historic 3 man team sent by Oyama to Thailand in response to the Muy Thai challenge that their style best in the world. The call went out across entire martial art world, however, Kyokushin only school that responded & sent fighters. They won 2 out of the 3 fights agreed upon and they returned to Japan as national hero's. Kaicho won Hus bout which wz first, they lost 2nd battle but big win in deciding match enabled them to declare Kyokushin is best in all of the land. Surprised SEIDO not mentioned because pretty sure that no other style has reach & footprint across the globe as SEIDO does.
I'll do some homework & if I can finds dets on the 3 u noted, I will revise comments.
Great stuff.
