Kyokushinkai is in the most the history of life of the great founder of this style, Masutatsu Oyama. Born in a village near Seulu in South Korea on 27th of July 1923, he started his martial way when he was only nine under the master Yi. After four years of training, in 1936, he got his black belt. Two years later, Oyama enrolled in Yamanashi flight school in Japan, but at the same time he was deepening his knowledge about martial arts in Takushoku University. There he was instructed by founder of Shotokan Karate, master Gichin Funakoshi. When he was only seventeen years old, Masutatsu was awarded a Ni Dan in Karate.
In 1946, Masutatsu Oyama started studying physical education at the University Of Weseda. As that time his path of life was crossed by wroting of two famous poets, E. Yashikawa and S. Ozaki, who reveled to him the way of life of great and ancient samurai. The journey to Minhou, was dedicated to get ready to the first postwar championships of karate in Japan, which took place in 1947 in town of Kioto. Masutatsu Oyama won and received a title as a champion of Japan.
After that, in 1947, Oyama decided to dedicate his entire life to karate, but isolating himself from everyone and started training in mountains. After eighteen months he returned and to prove his knowledge and skill, he decided to fight with a bool in Chiba; a fight which would be performed for the first time in history of karate. Kyokushin, or limit of reality, was the name of his knew style, and that one fight had a purpose of establishing just that. In 1952, Oyama begun to spread his knowledge around U.S. He continued his bull fights, all together 52 of them out of which 49 resulted in breaking the horns with one blow of a bear hand (shuto), and in the other 3 he killed the bulls in first few seconds. The "New York Times", because of his incredible ability and power, named Oyama "The Godhand".
In 1954, Oyama opened his first Dojo in Japan in which besides Oyama, there was two other instructors K. Mizushima and E. Yasuda. Despite his great knowledge, he did not stop his education, but rather traveled through southeastern parts of Asia to see and train in different martial art forms. Soon after, he was forced to come back to his very popular and well known Dojo on the request and asking of his students to teach. 1958 was the year when he published his book, What Is Karate, which soon after became a best seller.
In September of that same year, Oyama has been invited by FBI to Washington D.C. to train its agents. Month later he accepts an invitation to West Point Military Academy, also to train and demonstrate. On the first of October 1963 an International Kyokushinkai Karate Organization was created with its headquarters in Honbu Dojo in Tokio, and only a year later it is

E Sato, former Prime Minister of Japan, who received Nobel Price, becomes Kaicho or president and M. Oyama is Kancho or director of Kokushinkai-kan. Sosai Masutatsu Oyama died on 26 of April 1994.
His whole life is an endless path to achieve the highest physical and mental strength. When he was still alive, Oyama became a legend, and himself he spoke about his karate this way:
A half of the century passed since when I started training Budo-Karate. There are many styles of karate in the world, which can me trailed back to the beginning of human live. Japanese karate was born in India, and then made its way to China and Okinawy Ilands, where it was perfected. My experience is just a short moment in comparison with the endless history of martial arts. Harmony is the cornerstone of Karate. Love to parents, respect to the teachers, and trust in friends seem to be the roots of Budo-Karate Kyokushin, and which in my opinion is very needed in today's society. Kyokushin is about finding that greatest truth in physical, mental and spiritual aspect. I lined out a path for the International Budo-Karate, which is available all around the globe. Beyond that, I think that Kyokushin Karate could inherit the great knowledge and tradition coming from the oriental culture, which is so tightly bonded to the present world. Every person, sooner or later has to leave this world and because of that we should live in a way which would teach our children these great costumes.
Our everyday live is endless fight against our destiny. I respect people who fight their way through life, and do not give up, and I dislike someone who hides and gives up. Nowadays, young people look forward just to finish school, get a good job, marry a pretty wife and to have a fast car..., but they do not posses any fighting spirit in them. It is bad not only for their spirit but also for their body, because if you do not posses fighting spirit you are useless and you life does not have scenes. You have to fight and accept new challenges. Even after my death, I hope that Kyokushin will still develop as long as there will be human live on earth. I believe that karate is the strongest martial art and Kyokushin is strongest one of all.
