ABOUT SHINKYOKUSHIN

Karate is both an art and a philosophy.

Because each person has a different personality and physical capability, this is reflected in his or her interpretation of Karate. Therefore the Karate Masters founded their own schools over the ages, teaching their own style of ryu. Kyokushinkai is the name given to our ryu, which originated with the legendary Master Masutatsu Oyama – a man of tremendous physical strength and mental resources.

It takes time to fully understand the meaning. The symbol of Kyokushinkai is the kanku. The kanku is derived from the kanku kata – the sky gazing form. In this kata the hands are raised to scan the sky, and so the symbol is formed. The points of the kanku represented by the fingers imply the peaks or ultimates. The thick sections represented by the wrists, imply power. The centre represents infinity, implying depth. The whole kanku is based on and enclosed by a circle, representing continuity and a circularity – the basic physical and spiritual principles of Kyokushinkai.

Kyokushin Philosophy

The Kyokushin philosophy is based on the rigid discipline of the practitioner’s acts, on the understanding of the limitations of companions and opponents, on the respect to parents and superiors, and on the loyalty to its ideals. The practitioner of Kyokushin must not measure efforts to improve him/herself and must not compare him/herself with the less favoured to justify his/her failings. He/she must not only know, but also practice all his/her knowledge.

Learning Kyokushin requires 1000 days, but to understand all its essence, at least 10,000 days are required. Who opts for Kyokushin must have the strength to surpass any obstacle, without change of mind, until he/she reaches his/her objective. A good example for the practitioner to follow is that of the tea-kettle with water: When the fire heats the water to the boiling point, we have to keep it lighted with the same intensity, because if we reduce its flame, the water gets cold. It is not enough to boil the water, we have to keep it boiling all the time.
