About Us

Our classes are centred around the finer details that make Kyokushin the formidable martial art in the world. No matter what size you are, how strong you are, or even how old you are. Anyone can learn Kyokushin. Our classes are taught in a very safe environment, making it easy for students to progress. 

While Kyokushin is renowned for its Full Contact Competitions, the Kyokushin class environment fosters a place for personal growth, an opportunity to challenge one’s self beyond normal expectations,  and is a fantastic confidence builder and excellent physical conditioning. Due to the contact used at the advanced belt level, nothing less than complete respect, humility and understanding is tolerated. Mas Oyama strove to unify the world’s cultures and create global respect with his martial art. His philosophy was to influence sharing and equality through karate training. Everyone is equal when entering a Full Contact competition, no matter where they may come from or what their background may be.

Those beliefs further translate to the classroom experience where students are pushed to their personal capabilities, but never bullied or brutalized. Advanced students’ mentor junior students. The Sempai / Kohai relationship is actually interpreted to mean that the Sempai (advanced students) are obligated to help their Kohai (junior students). Only a select few students ever compete in Full Contact Tournaments and do so by their choice. The majority of students train in Kyokushin not to be champions, but to gain confidence through realistic training and to overcome personal barriers.
