Established on Guam in 1964 by Shihan Joe Tedtaotao (yon dan) Kyokushin Karate was created by Founder Sosai Masutatsu Oyama.

Since then, hundreds of students have come through these training doors.  And of that number, only a handfull of those students have become blackbelts and eventually instructors.

Kyokushin Karate is deemed Japan's strongest karate because of its full contact approach to fighting.  For further interest visit: http://www.kyokushinkaikan.org/

Our blackbelts have proven their strength, ability and competence by completing the difficult and ardous Yudansha 'blackbelt' test.  Often times these tests can last up to two days.
