Kyokushin Karate Style

Kyokushin, is a Full Contact-Bare Knuckle Style of Karate that was founded by Sosai Mas Oyama. It requires strenuous training, conditioning and realistic contact while sparring.

Kyokushin tournaments are very different from traditional karate tournaments. Under the Kyokushin rules, competitors can fully exert their power in each fight and most importantly pads and body protections are not allowed, and competitors are not restricted by body weight. Aside from the restriction of the use of hands to attack the opponents’ face and kicks to the groin, punching, elbowing, and kneeing are the common employed technique.
