Discover our history, philosophy, and commitment to martial arts excellence
Kyokushin karate is a great cultural and spiritual heritage established by late Sosai Masutatsu Oyama's utmost efforts which Japan can be proud of to the world.
Now we have taken over the will of Sosai by starting our renewed organization, "Shinkyokushinkai" with its three valuable missions:
We step forward to spread bushido spirits and Budo (Martial Art) karate worldwide.
This mark symbolises "Kokoro" which means heart in Japanese. It describes the melding of the 'mind', 'body' and 'skill' through diligent training and exploration of ourselves in the search for personal development leading to a deeper understanding of ourselves and others. They are essential factors to developing the true Budo spirit.
President Kenji Midori made history as the lightest man to win a World Championship with no weight restrictions, demonstrating that technique, spirit, and determination can overcome physical disadvantages.
Under his leadership, Shinkyokushinkai has grown into a global organization with dojos in over 100 countries. President Midori's innovative approach to training combines traditional karate values with modern sports science, creating a balanced system that develops both physical prowess and mental fortitude.
His dedication to preserving the essence of Kyokushin while adapting to contemporary needs has made him one of the most respected figures in martial arts today. President Midori continues to inspire thousands of practitioners worldwide through his seminars, championships, and personal example of bushido spirit.
His leadership guides Shinkyokushinkai with a focus on authentic karate values while adapting to modern training methodologies, ensuring the art continues to evolve while staying true to its roots.
We aim to conduct training in a warm and friendly atmosphere. People of all ages and ability will get together to train and support each other to enjoy progress as a group.
Through Karate, children learn to become more kind as they get more stronger. They will train to strengthen their mind and body, and also understand respect and courtesy by interacting with others who have the same interest.
For adults, we would like to help by not only improving health and fitness, but also release any stress from your daily life through fun hard training. It will definitely make you feel like a different person when you leave the dojo.
Shinkyokushinkai spreads around the globe. We are fortunate to have many events taking place nationally and internationally.
National and state championships take place every year. We also have local championships taking place throughout the year as well.
At a global scale, World Championships are held every two years to choose the strongest in the world.
The Dream Cup, an event with over 1000 competitors gather together in Tokyo Japan to participate in various categories, are open for international competitors every two years.
Every year, Shinkyokushinkai Australia holds a national training camp, a time where members of our organization get together from dojos around Australia, and enjoy the weekend through training.
Seminars and combined training sessions also take place regularly, providing opportunities for skill development and community building.
