Contact Us • Contact details………………….……………………………………………………..Page 48 The Kyokushin Dojo Kun (Oath) was written by Mas Oyama with the help of Eiji Yoshikawa, the author of the novel Musashi, which was based on the life and exploits of Miyamoto Musashi, Japan's most famous Samurai warrior. The Dojo Kun is usually recited at the end of each training session, when the students and instructors are lined up by rank in seiza (formal kneeling). Each line of the Dojo Kun is recited by the most senior student and repeated by the entire class together. The Dojo Kun (Dojo Oath) We will train our hearts and bodies for a firm and unshaking spirit. We will pursue the true meaning of the Martial Way, so that in time our senses may be alert. With true vigour, we will seek to cultivate a spirit of self-denial. We will observe the rules of courtesy, respect our superiors, and refrain from violence. We will follow our religious principles, and never forget the true virtue of humility. We will look upwards to wisdom and strength, not seeking other desires. All our lives, through the discipline of karate, we will seek to fulfil the true meaning of the Kyokushin Way. Osu… Dear Student, Congratulations on commencing the journey through the levels ("Kyu") of Kyokushin Karate. This journey is a long one, but one which starts, as all journeys do, with a single step - a step you have already taken. Our founder, Sosai Mas Oyama, said "Following the Martial Way is like scaling a cliff - continue upwards without rest. It demands absolute and unfaltering devotion to the task at hand". The coloured belts mark steps along the pathway to the goal - the coveted Black Belt. They provide a means for the student to measure his or her progress against the starting point. This folder contains your first set of requirements for the Beginners' Grades. As you progress upwards on the climb, you will be able to obtain the guidelines and requirements for the next leg of your journey. This will occur after you have passed a grading test and are ready to progress to the next Kyu. Remember always that these guidelines are given to you simply to enable you to clearly understand what is required of you. The descriptions of techniques such as strikes, kicks and blocks are brief and intended only to remind you and prompt you to ask questions of your teachers. The intricacies of technique and the philosophy behind our Martial Art can never be summarised in a few pages. The more you look, ask questions and emulate your seniors, the more satisfying and fulfilling will be your grasp Kyokushin Karate. And always remember - there are no tricks, no shortcuts - the secret is sweat! OSU… Shihan S S Das (CEO & Founder) Das Karate Academy® Official Member & Country Representative World So Kyokushin Karate Organisation - Japan The Origins of Karate In 1916 Gichin Funakoshi introduced Karate into Japan from Okinawa. Karate means Empty Hand. Karate is thought to have been started in India by a Buddhist priest called Bhodidarma, who wished to take Zen (a sect of Buddhism) to the Chinese. The Buddhist priests learnt how to fight to defend themselves from bandits and wild animals as they wandered. It was not until 1901 that Karate, as we now know it, was brought out of secret study and taught openly in Okinawa. In 1916, Master Gichin Funakoshi came from Okinawa to Tokyo and pioneered the modern system of Karate in Japan. There are many schools of Karate today, born from many origins, each with its own merits and perhaps its own faults. “You may train for a long, long time. But if you merely move your hands and feet and jump up and down like a puppet, learning karate is not very different from learning to dance. You will never have reached the heart of the matter; you will have failed to grasp the quintessence of karate-do.” - GICHIN FUNAKOSHI Kyokushin Karate The founder of our system, Masutatsu Oyama, was born in 1923 near Seoul in South Korea. He studied Chinese Kempo at nine years of age and at the age of twelve went to Japan to live and enrol at University. After mastering judo he became a pupil of the legendary Gichen Funakoshi, making such rapid progress that at seventeen he gained Nidan and at twenty-four became Yondan. During the war he was drafted into the military. After the war in 1947 he won the All Japan Karate Championship against all comers! Deciding that he wanted to devote the rest of his life to spreading the knowledge of karate, he spent the next years in seclusion, living in the temples and the mountains, subjecting himself to the rigours of martial arts training day and night, meditating on Zen precepts and seeking enlightenment. During the period of self-exile he struggled with wild animals, smashed trees and rocks with his bare hands and meditated under icy waterfalls in an extremely severe course of rigid discipline. In 1951 he returned to civilisation and started his own training Dojo. His fame spread rapidly as his ability was sensational! Among many feats he had defeated a bull with his bare hands! After many successful tours, demonstrating his skills, training Dojo's were set up all over the World. In 1964, Oyama formed the "International Karate Organization Kyokushinkaikan" (IKOK), to organize the many schools of Kyokushin. He also sent instructors to many other countries in order to spread the word of his style of fighting. Upon his death, as is usually the case, several splinter groups formed under the Kyokushin heading. Sosai Masutatsu Oyama Grand Master – 1923 to 1994 Kyokushin Characteristics Kyokushin is arguably the first full contact karate style. In other words, students practice hard sparring with no gloves in order to emulate situations they might encounter on the street as much as possible. Kicks, hand strikes, and sometimes knees are utilized in practice. In competition, a variety of full force strikes are allowed to the body. Hand strikes are not allowed to the face, though kicks are. Kyokushin is a hard-martial arts style that emphasizes more circular, than linear movements. However, given Oyama's background in both Shotokan (more linear) and Goju-ryu (more circular), elements of both can be found within the art. Kyokushin Training Training is comprised of kata (forms), kihon (exercise technique), and kumite (the hard sparring referred to earlier). 100 Man Kumite The 100-man kumite is a challenge that was both invented and first completed by Mas Oyama. It is a test of Kyokushin skill, as well as physical and mental

But did you know that was only a brief 22 years after the first-ever black belt Pin karate had been awarded? Ever since, legions of myths have grown up around the revered “black belt.” Unfortunately it was often Westerners, usually out of confusion—but sometimes out of deliberate attempts to elevate themselves—who created many of them. So we are here to set the record straight. True or False? • The “fathers” of karate (and kung fu and dan system of classifying his students from the game of Taekwondo as well) were all 10th dan. • If you create your “Go” where the kyu/dan classifications had been devised by own style, then you are automatically a 10th degree black Honindo Dosaku (1645–1702). belt. • Titles such as Soke, Hanshi, Kyoshi, Grandmaster, There were only three colors of “obi,” or sashes, and Senior Grandmaster are only awarded based on “time- white, brown, and black.

    Shorin-Ryu of Williamsburg The Shorin-Ryu Karate of Williamsburg Official Student Handbook Student Name: _________________________________________ Do not duplicate 1 Shorin-Ryu of Williamsburg General Information We are glad that you have chosen our school to begin your or your child’s journey in the martial arts. This handbook contains very important information regarding the guidelines and procedures of our school to better inform you of expectations and procedures regarding training. The quality of instruction and the training at our dojo are of the highest reputation and are designed to bring the best out of our students. We teach a code of personal and work ethics that produce citizens of strong physical ability but most importantly of high character. Students are expected to train with the utmost seriousness and always give their maximum physical effort when executing techniques in class. Instructors are always observing and evaluating our students based on their physical improvements but most of all, their development of respect, courtesy and discipline. Practicing karate is very similar to taking music lessons- there are no short cuts. As in music, there are people that possess natural ability and others that have to work harder to reach goals. There are no guarantees in music instruction that say someone will become a professional musician as in karate there are no guarantees that a student will achieve a certain belt. This will fall only on the student and whether they dedicate themselves to the instruction given to them. Our school does not offer quick paths to belts for a price as many commercial schools do.
