What is Kyokushinkai Karate? 

​

It is a full-contact martial art that emphasizes physical fitness, mental toughness, and practical self-defense skills. Whether you are looking to improve your fitness, learn self-defense, or compete at a high level, we have a program that will meet your needs.

Kyokushin is no trend - it`s way much more than that:

It takes focus, dedication and endless training - it is a way of life!
