Introduction of karate(part6) - Full-contact karate

 Hello! This time I'll explain Full-contact karate.

 Full-contact karate is one of the styles of karate.I think this style is  known well as karate.

 It is known that the Full-contact karate was started by 大山 倍達(Oyama Masutatsu,known as God hand),who originate 極真会館(Kyokushin kaikan) and that  Full-contact karate is newer than traditional style.But ,exactly,Full-contact  karate  style is done from Ryukyu kingdom era.In that time,Tudi players had match on the street and fight by Full-contact.After fighting,players advise about each other's techniques.That match was called 掛け試し(Kakedameshi).And there had been some attempts to establish Full-contact karate before and after WW2.
 In 1969,大山 倍達(Oyama Masutatsu) established 極真会館(Kyokushin kaikan).He emphasized  Full-contact style karate and he adopted essence of various martial arts such as 太極拳(Taikyokuken),boxing,kick boxing and so on.But he also adopted many katas based on traditional schools ,especially 剛柔流(Goju school) ,which he had practiced.
　


In match,players don't wear any guards and fight by bare hands and feet.


Kyokushin kaikan is one of the famous Full contact karate organization.But  there is other branch 
organizations such as 芦原会館(Ashiwara kaikan),正道会館(Seido kaikan),佐藤塾(Sato juku).So,Full-contact karate is also called 極真空手(Kyokushin karate).


In addition,there are some organizations adopt judo-like techniques  and other fighting techniques such as attack by elbow and head ,ground punch.For example,大道塾　空道(Daidojuku kudo).


Next,I'll show you the famous people,and school about karate.
