Introduction

I personally never met in Sosai Masutatsu Oyama, however,
he influenced my life deeply. One of the things that I admire most about Sosai
Oyama is the fact that he created a style of martial art that influenced
positively the lives of millions of people. To me it is like a
nuclear explosion, the results are in a big magnitude, just with one nuclear
bomb it is possible to change the course or destiny of the whole planet. Sosai
Oyama created Kyokushin and became an art so powerful that was able to influence
greatly the history of humanity. All of this brings to me hope and
belief in the human being, even if we created weapons so
destructive like the nuclear bomb, it is also true that we can produce human
beings able to produce positive and transcendental change in the history of
humanity. All we need is one person to be able to initiate such changes, the
most important is to be able to communicate, to pass on that knowledge so it can
produce a chain so powerful as the chain reaction of the nuclear bomb. That is
the reason why I started this Homepage, so we can keep alive what Sosai Oyama
started, specially on this confusion time when our Kyokushin family is getting
adjusted to the new circumstances. In a family with many sons and daughters,
when they become older they will leave their homes to make their own families.
Some of them will become doctors, others laborer, engineers, carpenter,
teachers, however, even if they choose a different way of life, they still are
connected together by the same roots that run through them, they will still meet
together, help each other, honor their parents, so they become powerful
families. The Kyokushin family has great people in it like Shihan Bobby
Lowe, Shihan Akiyoshi Matsui, Sosai's wife Chiyako Oyama, Shihan Yukio Nishida,
Shihan Keiji Sanpei, Shihan Matsushima, Sosha Shigeru Oyama, Hanshi Steve Arneil,
Shihan Stuart Corrigal, Shihan Roman Szyrajew, Shihan Miyuki Miura, Shihan Dan
Soller, Shihan Joko Ninomiya, Shihan David Cook, Shihan Tadachi Nakamura, Shihan
Howard Collins, Shihan Seiji Isobe, Shihan Andre Coulombe, I will never found
enough space to write the names of all the people that have roots on our great
family, many of these people are unknown, because they never become famous,
champions, or never were associated with Honbu, those people on their own
contributed to this great family. It is true that there are differences between
them, and those differences some time create antagonism, this supposed to be
natural because we all perceive Kyokushin in different ways. As far as we still
have the same roots, we will always be part of this great Kyokushin family. The
important thing is to help each other and not to destroy each other. It is
important to share the knowledge with others and also learn from others.
I have learned myself a lot about Kyokushin through the
Homepage of Shaharan Yussof, which I consider one of the best homepages about
Kyokushin. I acknowledge, and I thank him for taking the time to make, organize
and share with us that Knowledge. OSU!
