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!
