What is Karate

There are many books outlining the history of Karate, and Kyokushin Karate in particular. The following is a brief outline.

From China, kempo spread North to Mongolia, east to Korea and South East to Okinawa (around 1393). In Okinawa, at various times in its history (1400 and again in 1609) authorities forbade the use of arms by the populace. During this time, unarmed combat became even more widely taught throughout Okinawa for obvious reasons.The earliest forms of unarmed combat were brought to China from India by Buddhist monks. In particular, around 500 AD a zen Buddhist monk named Bhodidarma arrived in China and as well as teaching Zen, he also taught an unarmed system of combat called Shorin Kempo. Bhodidarma also linked his combat system with yoga and Zen meditation making a more complete system. Even today Zen has an inseparable link with the fighting arts.

It was not until the late 19th Century after many centuries of cross development that mainland Japan showed any interest in the combat art that came to be known as Karate (the way of the empty hand). In 1916, Master Gichin Funakoshi came from Okinawa to Tokyo and pioneered the modern system of Karate in Japan.

Sosai Mas Oyama & the Founding of Kyokushin

The founder of our system, Masutatsu Oyama, was born in 1923 near Seoul in South Korea. He started studying Chinese Kempo when he was nine years of age. In 1938 he moved to Japan, where in 1941 he entered University. Initially he studied Judo but switched to Karate becoming a student of Gichin Funakoshi. Oyama made such rapid progress that at 17 he was graded 2nd Dan. In 1943 he was drafted into the military – he continued training under Sodeiju, then karate instructor at the Goju school, where he was graded 4th Dan. In 1947, he won the All Japan Karate Tournament.

In 1951 he returned to civilisation. His fame spread rapidly as his ability was sensational. Among other things, he had killed a bull with his bare hands. In 1952 Oyama did what no other master had done before or since. He toured the United States where he took on all comers in over 200 matches. He won all of these fights by knockouts, competing against professional boxers and wrestlers. Oyama showed the world the amazing power of Karate and proved himself to be in a class of his own.In 1948, deciding that he wanted to devote the rest of his life to spreading knowledge of karate, he spent the next years in seclusion from human society, living in temples and in the mountains subjecting himself to the physical rigours of martial arts training day and night. He also meditated on Zen precepts seeking enlightenment. During this period he struggled with wild animals, smashed rocks and trees with his bare hands and meditated under icy waterfalls in an extremely harsh course of self discipline.

 After many other successful tours through Asia and other areas of the world demonstrating his skills, he set up many dojos in Japan. His fame, so widely spread also led to other dojos being set up all over the world. In 1965 the present day headquarters for Kyokushin was opened in Tokyo.

Kyokushin means the “ultimate truth” and from its inception Oyama intended his system to be as realistic as possible with the stress being on combat effectiveness and fighting. In 1969 Oyama introduced his ‘knockdown’ tournament concept with the first All Japan Karate Tournament, allowing heavy contact to the head and body with a wide range of techniques, though no punching to the head was allowed. In 1975 the first World Open Tournament was held in Tokyo. Since 1975 the world tournament has been held every four years.

Sosai Oyama had a close relationship with Shihan Lipman, who he appointed to Australian Branch Chief in in 1989 and South Pacific Representative to the International Committee of Kyokushin in 1993. Shihan Lipman was graded to 5th Dan by Sosai in in 1992, and Shihan Cunningham was graded to 3rd Dan by Sosai in 1993. Sadly, Sosai passed away in 1994.

Meaning of Kyokushin

The word “Kyokushin” literally translates as “the way of the ultimate truth”. While there are many interpretations of this, basically it means the further you go down the path of Kyokushin Karate, the more you begin to learn about yourself.

Kyokushin Karate develops spirit through the depth of training involved and the high level of conditioning undertaken. This fighting spirit will allow you to keep going even when you think you can do no more. During training this fighting spirit will be tested frequently.Kyokushin Karate is Budo (fighting) Karate and not sports karate. It is practical and readily usable in everyday life. It is a style noted for its power and effectiveness and is known the world over by the name “the strongest Karate”.
