WHAT IS KYOKUSHIN KARATE?
Karate is a very popular martial art with many styles and forms. Kyokushin stands as one of the most effective. Most people take up karate not knowing why and that’s ok because ‘karate’ means – emptiness. The name ‘karate’ was chosen to convey the ideas of emptiness since students are expected to empty their minds of all thoughts and emotions in order to learn Budo.
