Kyokushin kaikan (極真会館) is a style of stand-up, full contact karate, founded in 1964 by Sosai Masutatsu Oyama (大山倍達) Kyokushinkai is Japanese for "the society of the ultimate truth." 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.

November 03, 2015  /  Sensei William Schrader

This Saturday (November 7th), our friend Sempai Ye (Justin) Zhu will be testing for his Shodan (Black Belt) in Kyokushin (Kyokushinkai) Karate.  This is not fast or easy ordeal.  10 years of hard work all coming together.  at 12:30 pm will start the Kumite portion of his test, while most organisations/school require 10 fights he will be going for 25, this is after 2 plus hours of hard testing.  This will also be our first Shodan testing under the Bas-I Kyokushin Karate Organization. 

 Please come out and support Sempai on this day and  if you are willing join in on the kumite portion of his test.   As his Sensei/Teacher I am very proud!!
