The only Dojo in Zurich offering
Kyokushinkai karate along with
K-1 Kickboxing

Training in Kyokushin is built on five core elements:

基本 – Kihon (Basics)
Fundamental techniques — strikes, kicks, and blocks — developed through precision and repetition.

移動稽古 – Ido Geiko (Moving Techniques)
Applying techniques in motion — combining footwork, timing, and coordination while punching and kicking.

型 – Kata (Forms)
Structured sequences of offense and defense. The traditional method of preserving and transmitting karate knowledge.

組手 – Kumite (Free Fight)
Full-contact sparring. The ultimate test of technique, spirit, and endurance — the essence of Kyokushin.

Kickboxing emerged from Japan as a fusion of Kyokushin Karate and Muay Thai, later refined by Dutch fighters into a complete and devastating striking system.

​

K-1 / Dutch Kickboxing combines:

• The power and conditioning of Kyokushin

• The precision of Western Boxing

• The devastating strikes of Muay Thai

• ​

Switzerland’s own Andy Hug embodied this path—rising from Kyokushin world champion to one of the most respected fighters in K-1 history.
