"Our objective is to reach as many children and adults as possible. Because we know karate can make a difference in everyone's life."
Mas Oyama the founder of kyokushin karate had a vision of world peace. Such great ideology can be possible only through the rebirth of humanity. The true way to be born again is through spiritual, mental and physical enlightment offered only by serious karate training the Kyokushin way. Life is made of continual starting over. Every time we accomplish one task, there is another one waiting. It maybe having children, work, marriage, relationship, going to a higher level or receiving a promotion. Whatever the case it is always about starting all over until death step in and change the course to an unknown. This website is about the "Kyokushin" Karate Institute. We invite you to look it through and rest assure you'll find something to help you in your search for the light whether spiritually, mentally or physically. We have no intention of teaching anyone out there cause only a real Master can do so and there is only one in each life time. All we are doing is making available all the information that lead us to where we are and hope that you will share with us whatever you may have. Here at the "Kyokushin" karate institute, we train hard in the traditional way as established by the late Sosai Masutatsu Oyama
Founder of Kyokushin
1923 - 1994
Our program consists of regular one and a half hour sessions two or three times a week. Periodically during the year there are also fun social activities for parents and children to enjoy together.. The objective is to help students achieve their goal and keep them happy while learning.
Karate is not a seasonal activity such as basketball, or soccer. Every three months there is a test or review to keep the student motivated. Belt promotion take place every six months for white to green belt.
Kyokushin Karate is full-contact karate, however, only supervised light contact with protective gear will occur with children from nine to sixteen years of age. The full-contact classes are for ages seventeen and up with at least a green belt.
Training involves increased physical fitness, mental awareness, attention span, flexibility, agility, balance, and listening skills. Self-Defense is taught every step of the way. Our students learn to handle confrontations, but more importantly, they learn that a physical confrontation is the last resort. Confidence is knowing you do not have to fight
Karate, because it is a life time activity will keep you young and strong. Continuous repetition will tone your body and regulate your metabolism regardless of your size or age.
Our main objective is to reach as many children and adults as possible. We know karate can make a difference in anyone's life
