About Kyokushinkai

Kyokushinkai Karate is more than fighting. It is discipline, perseverance, humility. and spirit forged through hard training. Our purpose is to build strong bodies, strong minds, and strong hearts.

"The ultimate aim of Karate lies not in victory or defeat, but in the perfection of the character of its participants."

Masutatsu Oyama

Founder of Kyokushinkai

Dojo Kun

We will train our hearts and bodies for a firm unshaking spirit.

We will pursue the true meaning of the Martial Way, so that in time our senses may be alert.

With true vigor, we will seek to cultivate a spirit of self denial.

We will observe the rules of courtesy, respect our superiors, and refrain from violence.

We will follow our religious principles and never forget the true virtue of humility.

We will look upwards to wisdom and strength, not seeking other desires.

All our lives, through the discipline of Karate, we will seek to fulfill the true meaning of the Kyokushin Way.
