極真Kyokushin Karate Foundation of India
Full-contact karate in the lineage of Sosai Mas Oyama. Discipline, respect, and the relentless pursuit of strength, taught in dojos across India.
Where Kyokushin comes from: Mas Oyama's mountain years, the founding in 1964, and why it is still called the strongest karate.
The heart of our karate is real fighting.
There can be no proof without real fighting. Without proof there is no trust. Without trust there is no respect. This is a definition in the world of martial arts.
Sosai Masutatsu Oyama, founder of Kyokushin
Keep your head low, eyes high.
Full contact. Full respect.
