Kyokushin is rooted in a philosophy of self-improvement, discipline and hard training. Its full contact style has had international appeal (practitioners have over the last 40+ years numbered more than 12 million).

Judo (meaning "gentle way") is a modern martial art, combat and Olympic sport created in Japan in 1882 by Jigoro Kano (嘉納治五郎). Its most prominent feature is its competitive element, where the objective is to either throw or takedown an opponent to the ground, immobilize or otherwise subdue an opponent.

Osu, Tonight guest

September 29, 2014  /  Sensei William Schrader

Osu,

Tonight we were lucky enough to have a guest Sensei from New York, Sensei Greg Giovaniello of Kai Fuku Ryu (Kyokushin).  Sensei Giovaniello was a everything a Kyokushin Sensei should be, humble, friendly and knowledgeable (a kyokushin historian, I was humbled by his wealth of knowledge).  Unfortunately he is heading home tomorrow (back to New York) and was only able to make one class.  I speak for everyone when I say thank you and have a safe trip home!

 

Osu!

Sensei Bill
