Why do you practice Kyokushin karate?


assistant
Kyokushin karate represents a traditional form of karate focused on full-contact, bare-handed techniques. It's a response to the commercialized forms of karate that while they have their benefits have lost much of the original intent and effectiveness of the martial arts form.  In Kyokushin, you learn to not just deliver blows but to receive them, to endure pain and discomfort and to overcome the fear of being hit.  This helps you develop the mental and emotional fortitude to remain composed in difficult situations.
