IBMA KYOKUSHIN KAI
Bring Budo
into Your Life.
Based on Kyokushin Karate, we train the body, refine technique, and cultivate the mind.
We aim to carry what we learn through Budo beyond the dojo,
and apply it to life and society.

Budo for Every Stage of Life
The meaning of Budo changes with age and with each stage of life.
At IBMA KYOKUSHIN KAI, we consider how Budo can be applied throughout a person’s life.
Children
Learning to use strength in the right way.
We cultivate self-control, respect for others, and the courage to try again after failure.
Adolescents & Young Adults
From comparing yourself with others to establishing your own center.
Rather than letting other people’s opinions define you, Budo helps you understand yourself and develop your own inner foundation.
Working Adults
Rather than controlling others, learn to control yourself.
We develop the ability to think, judge, and act without being ruled by emotion or tension.
Midlife & Mature Adults
Do not compete with youth. Deepen yourself.
As the body changes, we learn to deepen our technique and Budo without relying only on strength and speed.
Seniors
Continue refining yourself throughout life.
We seek a form of Budo that understands the body as it is now and continues to develop with age.
What We Value
Strength
Strength is not only the ability to defeat another person. It is also the ability to govern yourself.
We value the strength to possess power without becoming controlled by that power.
Rei — Respect and Etiquette in Budo
Rei is more than formality. It is a way of respecting both yourself and others.
Because Budo teaches us power, it must also teach us how that power should be used.
Riho — Principles of Budo
Do not merely memorize technique. Understand why it works.
We study the principles within movement, technique, distance, timing, and our relationship with an opponent.
