After some much-needed encouragement from Sensei Nick, I decided to establish a dojo here in San Diego, specifically in the North County area (Poway): San Diego Kyokushin Karate Dojo. I'm super excited to announce that our first class will be this Saturday, June 29th from 1pm - 3pm! For now, classes will be once a week with a $15 mat fee but I ...
Kyokushin karate is a more grounded and "stonger style" in the sense that practitioners can probably generate more power in their punches. Despite this, you see an inate lack of mobility in the style, focusing on force over dexterity. You see this in competition where both athletes often stand their, head exposed, ripping Into the body.
Kyokushin is a pretty popular karate lineage (yes, it's legit), and you're right that it's generally rougher than a lot of other lineages. It's probably the most well-known consistently full-contact style. I've found that Kyokushin is particularly popular in college towns or university clubs, which I assume has to do with that age group of ...
Kyokushin tournaments are won by knock-down or knock-out, and points scored for temporary incapacitation. And it's common for full-contact tournaments to be open, meaning that all weights and all belts compete in a single category.
learning how to throw a strong bareknuckle (that part is important) punch and a good low kick, as well as the physical strength from kyokushin conditioning, and the mental familiarity with active combat and general psychological and physical toughness that quality kyokushin sparring is particularly good at instilling (especially considering ...
Each style of karate has its benefits, strength and weakness (martial arts in general as well) Kyokushin has its reputation because its competition ruleset allows it to be more consistent.

If you speak Spanish, there are regular Kyokushin classes over zoom (due to Covid) that include people from all over the Americas as well. lmk if you're interested. Hioki is the only place I've found in Phoenix. Its okay. I went for a while but I started in Japan and its not the same.
Without supplementation with gloved kickboxing sparring and at least some amount of training in a grappling art, Kyokushin is fair-to-middling in self-defense, with a number of powerful strengths and a few serious weaknesses- but still much better for that purpose than most karate schools. With that supplementation, Kyokushin is amazing.
A Sub-Reddit for all things martial arts related. Kyokushin karate vs “street fighter”. At least fight on grass. It would be unfair since you would be taking the street fighter outside of its natural element. It’s a blood sacrifice for the local temple, mind your manners and respect the culture.
Not hitting the face with hands is a major detriment and I'd expect anyone who train Kyokushin for 2 years to get beat up by someone who had trained Muay Thai for 2 years. Look at this guy's reaction to getting hit in the face. It generally belongs in the B tier striking arts, second to Boxing and Muay Thai.
