The Way of Ultimate Truth

What is Kyokushin?

Kyokushin — meaning "Ultimate Truth" — was founded by Sosai Masutatsu Oyama in 1964. It is a full-contact martial art known worldwide for its rigorous training and genuine combat effectiveness, one of the most demanding karate systems ever created.

At its heart lies a philosophy of continuous self-improvement: resilience, discipline, and the courage to push beyond your limits — both physically and mentally.

"To cultivate a strong body and a resilient mind."
StrengthBuild a powerful, conditioned body.
SpiritForge an unshaken, disciplined mind.
TruthProve yourself through real training.
道場訓
The Dojo Oath

Dojo Kun

Written by Sosai Mas Oyama, the Dojo Kun is recited at the close of every training session — a list of principles to live by, inside the dojo and throughout life.

  1. We will train our hearts and bodies for a firm, unshaken spirit.
  2. We will pursue the true meaning of the martial way, so that in time our senses may be alert.
  3. With true vigour, we will seek to cultivate a spirit of self-denial.
  4. We will observe the rules of courtesy, respect our superiors, and refrain from violence.
  5. We will follow our principles, and never forget the true virtue of humility.
  6. We will look upwards to wisdom and strength, not seeking other desires.
  7. All our lives, through the discipline of karate, we will seek to fulfill the true meaning of the Kyokushin way.
