Kyokushin Karate
By Mas. Oyama
KARATE, the fountainhead of the Japanese warrior code and today a subject of worldwide interest, is one of Mankind’s most priceless of wisdom. Every one prizes the sort of incredible strength the Karate master uses to smash wood-board and stone with his bare hands, because it is a sort of magic that brings the impossible into the realm of possibility. Though the history of Karate is long, its power and techniques are forever new. Karate extends back to Man’s origins and continues in usefulness to the present.
As a means of defense, Karate has a vigor and power that other martial arts lack. Conceived from the wisdom and strength that made life possible for Man’s ancestors, Karate has fused with modern rationality to become a truly miraculous art of self–defense.
Karate has been the last stronghold of defense for tens of thousands of people; it can be yours too.
Masutatsu Oyama, a Karate Master standing at the very pinnacle of today’s Karate world, makes available to every one the essence of his thirty years of Karate study and training. Mas. Oyama poured his whole being into writing many books and has included a large number of special techniques.
Oyama Karate begins and ends with points and circles, in which lie the miraculous strength and the life of the system. Through these points and circles, a sense of flowing motion calls forth dynamic waves and creates great billows of strength. Mas. Oyama, whose psychology is based on ZEN and SHINTO, has developed a Karate that is serene in movement, refined and stable in form and is the authentic method of Kyokushin Karate.
