Kyokushin Karate was founded by Sosai Mas Oyama in 1964.  It is a full-contact style, but there are many elements that we emphasise before you get involved in sparring.  Various hand strikes, kicks, stances and basic techniques are taught in each class, with a strong focus on self-defence.

As a traditional martial art, Kyokushin Karate is great for physical fitness but also has meditative and spiritual qualities which makes it great for long term focus.
