What is Kyokushin karate?  To some, it is a way to develop and maintain physical strength and learn effective self-defense techniques.  To others, it is much more than that.  Kyokushin karate is a way of life that transcends the physical aspects of training.  Kyokushin karate is Budo Karate.

The philosophy of Budo is evident in the name that Mas Oyama chose
for his karate style, Kyokushin, which means "Ultimate Truth".  It is also
reflected in the Dojo Kun, in Mas Oyama's Eleven Mottos, and in the
Spirit of Osu.
