About Kyokushin
Kyokushin means ULTIMATE TRUTH: a name chosen by founder Masutatsu Oyama that describes the pinnacle of martial arts training. A striving not to reach a goal, but to dedicate oneself relentlessly to perseverance, improvement and humility in the pursuit of wisdom.
Kyokushinkaikan Colorado is a licensed dojo operated under the International Karate Organisation Kyokushinkaikan (IKO) and President Kancho Shokei Matsui in Japan and is a sub-branch of Kyokushin Karate New York and Branch Chief Shihan Katsuhito Gorai.
Kyokushin Karate is a traditional Japanese art and follows the principles of budo 武道 (the martial way). We invite you to explore Kyokushin’s rich history, roots and lineage.
