PKKS stands for Pepels Kenpokai Karate Systems.
KEN = Fist
PO = Law
Kara = Empty
Te = Hand
Kai = Association
The system name of the PKKS:
Kenpokai Allround Full Contact Karate KAFCK
Kenpokai Allround KarateKAK
Meaning of Osu
Osu! in Karate comes from the expression Oshi Shinobu which means to
push oneself to the limit of ones ability and yet to continue, to persevere under
pressure, and to endure.
It is used as a word of many meanings, expressing the willingness to strive against all odds,
to perserve on the road to physical, mental, and spiritual strength, an expression of respect
of ones seniors and responsibility to ones juniors.
It is pronounced Oss, Oosh.
In our systems it is also a greeting and can be used to replace words such as, yes, alright,
good, Ill do it and excuse me. It is also used to mean hello, goodbye, have patience with
me, Im trying, well done, and just about anything else. When give a command in the dojo
we give the word Osu as an answer.
Osu is the spirit of Karate.

Kenpokai is build up out of the characters of the Tiger and the
Dragon:
The tiger is real and feared for its great force and power, its will to survive and kill. He has
great survival skills. He knows no fear and doesnt walk away for danger and actions. But he
sometimes reacts to soon and doesnt think in the best ways.
The dragon is not known to have really exist. The dragon is legendary and mythical, fought
by legendary knights. The dragon has good and bad forces, but hes very wise. The dragon
stands for immortality. The dragon is also very strong but hes more wise and knows more
about his actions.
The dragon thinks, the tiger reacts.
Grandmaster Masutatsu Oyama 10th Dan Founder Kyokushin
Kai Karate
Mas Oyama (Korea) learned Chinese Kempo and Japanese Shotokan Karate.
Out of these two systems and his other learnings in the martial arts, he formed the strongest
Karate Style ever Kyokushinkai Karate the Ultimate Truth. Kyokushin soon became a
strong and feared full contact way of stand up fighting with great force and knowledge. The
tests of kumite fights against 5 to 100 people made it unique and very hard. Grandmaster
Oyama founded the International Kyokushin Kai Organization and had many famous
students like: Akiyoshi Matsui, Jon Bluming and Kenji Kurosaki. Grandmaster Oyama gave
many demonstrations of Kyokushin all over the world. He was called the God hand and
died in 1994.

Kenpokai Allround Full Contact Karate (kafck) is NOT a SPORT Karate system, but a real
combat self-defence fighting art. We also have a sport-competition system of Kyokushinkai
and Ashihara Full Contact Karate tournament fighting, national and international. But the
main division is combat self-defence fighting.
The difference between:
Kenpokai Allround Karate
Kenpokai Allround Full Contact Karate
KAK= For people who dont have a degree in Full Contact Karate (Kyokushin Budokai,
Ashihara)
KAFCK= For people who do have a degree in Full Contact Karate (Kyokushin Budokai,
Ashihara)
In general the system is called KAFCK, but on the certificates the difference will be written.
Certificates
PKKS issued certificates are aviable in two types:
1 Paper version
2 Digital version
You can get a certificate only by realtime testing. Except high ranking Honorary Grades
What do you learn in Kenpokai?
What do or can you learn in Kenpokai? The Kenpokai system that we offer at the PKKS, is a
very complete system with many subdivisions. The first thing you learn in Kenpokai are the
basic moves Kihon: stances, blocking, striking, punching, kicking and falling. After that you
learn the prearranged techniques and training sets Katas or Forms. After this comes the
Kumite or Free fighting in different levels like: combat, self-defence, competition or
demonstration. Kenpokai is an art, not a sport. You learn to use youre body and mind as
one unit. It is an unique way of working with ourself and other people. When learning
weapon techniques, you go a step further in mastering the Kenpokai movements to the limit.
Kenpokai is open minded.

History Karate
Karate came from many different fighting arts in the World. From India (Kshatriya warrior
class), then to China (Chuan Fa / Kempo), then to Okinawa (Tote / Chuan Fa) and then to
Japan were it met with Sumo, Jujutsu, Kenjutsu and other Samurai fighting systems. Then
they called it Kara Te, Empty Hand.
History Kyokushinkai Karate
Sosai (President) Masutatsu Oyama, the founder of Kyokushin Karate, was born in southern
Korea in 1923. While living at his sisters farm in Manchuria at the age of nine, he began his
lifelong journey along the martial way when he began studying the southern Chinese form of
Kempo known as "Eighteen Hands". When Mas Oyama returned to Korea at the age of 12,
he continued his training in Korean Kempo.
In 1938, at the age of 15, Mas Oyama moved to Japan to train as an aviator, and continued
his martial arts training by participating in Judo and Boxing. Shortly afterwards, he began
training at the dojo of Ginchin Funakoshi, who had brought Karate from Okinawa to Japan
and developed what is now known as Shotokan Karate. Mas Oyama's training progressed so
rapidly that by the age of 17, he was a Nidan (2nd Dan), and by the age of 20, he was a
Yondan (4th Dan) in Shotokan. At this point, Mas Oyama took a serious interest in Judo, and
in less than four years he achieved the rank of Yondan in Judo as well. After the end of
World War II, Mas Oyama began training under So Nei Chu, one of the highest authorities in
Japan of Goju Ryu, an Okinawan Karate style. So Nei Chu, renowned for the power of his
body as well as his spiritual insight, encouraged Mas Oyama to dedicate his life to the Martial
Way. He suggested that Mas Oyama retreat from civilization for three years to train his mind
and body without the distractions of the outside world.
Around this time, Mas Oyama also met Eiji Yoshikawa, the author of the novel Musashi,
which was based on the life and exploits of Miyamoto Musashi, Japan's most famous
Samurai warrior. Both the novel and the author helped to teach him the meaning of Bushido,
the Way of the Warrior. That same year, Mas Oyama went to Mount Minobu in Chiba
Prefecture, where Musashi had developed his style of sword fighting. Mas Oyama thoughtthat this would be an appropriate place to begin the rigorous training he had planned for
himself. Accompanied by a student, he went into the wilderness to train, with a friend
bringing them food supplies once a month. After six months of training, his student was
unable to handle the solitude and secretly fed during the night, leaving Mas Oyama
completely alone to continue his training. After fourteen months of training in the wilderness,
his friend informed Mas Oyama that he could no longer provide the monthly supplies of food,
and Mas Oyama had to return to civilization. A few months later, in 1947, Mas Oyama won
the Karate section of the first Japanese National Martial Arts Championships after World War
II. However, still feeling empty for not having completed the three years of solitude, he
decided to dedicate his life completely to Karate. Once again Mas Oyama left civilization for

the wilderness, this time going to Mount Kiyozumi, also in Chiba Prefecture, which he chose
for its spiritually uplifting environment. This time his training was fanatical 12 hours a day,
every day, with no rest days, standing under cold waterfalls, breaking river stones with his
hands, using trees as makiwara (striking boards), jumping over rapidly growing flax plantshundreds of times each day. Each day also included a period of study of the ancients classics
on the martial arts, Zen, and philosophy. After eighteen months of rigorous training, Mas
Oyama returned to civilization fully confident in himself and able to take control of his life. In
the 1950s, Mas Oyama began demonstrating his power and skill by fighting bulls. In all, he
fought 52 bulls, three of which he killed instantly and 49 of whose horns he took off with
shuto (knife hand) strikes. In 1952, Mas Oyama travelled throughout the United States for a
year, demonstrating his Karate live and on national television. During subsequent years, he
took on all challengers, resulting in fights with 270 different people. He defeated the vast
majority of his opponents with just one technique. A fight never lasted more than three
minutes, and rarely lasted more than a few seconds. Mas Oyama's fighting technique wasbased on the Samurai warriors' principle of "Ichi geki hissatsu", or "One strike, certain
death". If he got through to you, the fight was over. If he hit you, you broke if you blocked
his punch, your arm was broken or dislocated, if you didn't block it, your rib was
broken. Because of his strength and skill, he became known as "the God hand".
In 1953, Mas Oyama opened his first "dojo" on a grass lot in Tokyo. In 1955, he opened his
first real dojo in a former ballet studio behind Rikkyo University. In 1957, the name
"Kyokushin", or "Ultimate Truth", was adopted for Mas Oyama's Karate organization, which
had 700 members by then, despite the high drop-out rate due to the severity of
training. Practitioners of other styles also came to train here for the jis-sen kumite (fullcontact fighting). Mas Oyama would observe those from other styles and adopt any
techniques that would be useful in a fight. By doing so, Kyokushin Karate evolved into one of
the most formidable style of martial arts in the world. It soon became known as "The
Strongest Karate", not only because of the incredible feats of strength and endurance that
Mas Oyama performed, but also because of the rigorous requirements of the training and
tournaments. In order to test his own abilities, Mas Oyama decided to perform a three
hundred man kumite (fight) in three days. He chose the strongest students in his dojo to
fight him one at a time. After each had a turn, they started from the beginning again until all
three hundred fights were completed. Each student had to face Mas Oyama about four times
over the three days, though some never made it past the first day due to Oyama's powerfulblows. He defeated all of his opponents, never wavering in his resolve, despite the fact that
he was injured in the process. Legend has it that Mas Oyama was willing to go for a fourth
day, but no opponents were willing or able to do so. Since its inception, Kyokushin Karate
has spread to more than 120 countries, with more than twelve million practitioners, making
it one of the largest martial arts styles in the world. Sadly, Mas Oyama (a non-smoker) died
of lung cancer in 1994.
Mas Oyama's unexpected death left his organization, the International Karate Organization
(IKO), in a very confused state. Prior to his death, he stated in his will that Yukio Nishida
would be his successor to lead the IKO, but on his deathbed he apparently named Akiyoshi

Matsui, then Godan (5th Dan). This has resulted in a splintering of the IKO into a number of
groups, each of which claims to be the true successor to Mas Oyama's organization.
History Kenpokai Karate
Like all martial arts, Kenpokai can be traced back to ancient China, namely the Shaolin-szu
(Japanese: Shorin-Ji) method of boxing (Kempo). The Shao-lin-szu method of fighting with
fists (Kempo) is thought to have been invented by the Indian priest Bodhidharma, who is
known in Japanese as Daruma, in the fifth or sixth century.
Part of Shaolin-szu Kempo training involved light meditation and yoga practice, as well as the
basics kicking and punching. Kempo was travelled into the Ryu Kyu Islands of Okinawa. Even
the Okinawan Karate masters have no clear record as to when Kempo actually came to theircountry. One possibility is one Sakugawa of the city of Shui, travelled to China for the
purpose of bringing Kempo back to his home country.
There are many other theories on how Kempo came to the Okinawan Islands.
The inhabitants of the Ryu Kyu Islands did not receive the original style of Shaolin-szu
Kempo. They combined a number of Chinese Kempo techniques and added their own
individual skills, to form the Okinawan Karate or Okinawa-Te (Tote). The people of Okinawa
use the simple word of Te instead of the Japanese word of Karate. When the art came to
Japan from Okinawa, it was written with the meaning empty (Kara) hand ( 'te' ) - KARATE.
From then onward the arts of Kempo and Karate began a new revolution. It involved the
practice of kicking and punching in theory - (do) and in practice - (jutsu). Kempo played a
major role in developing major fighting strategies of all the Japanese arts.
Basically the belief could be that Kempo was the first Form of any martial art.
Today's Kempo as in the teachings of Kenpokai Karate, is a style designed for todays
fighting needs. A style dedicated to implementing traditional dojo values and being effective
out in the modern streets of today's society. Kenpokai Karate teachings are based on the
traditional values of the past great masters of Kempo and many other arts, that all studentscontinue to learn the way of the warrior - BUSHIDO, in education/studies, have respect,
integrity and to continue in perfecting oneself.
Kenpokai Karate teachings will strive to teach all the basics of humanity morals, respect
and striving for perfection. Kenpokai Karate is more than a style, it is a philosophy. It is
tailored to the person. Kenpokai Karate teachings will strive to hold the Kempo philosophy.
Kenpokai Karate is dedicated to teach all that's possible, to all of its students and to continue
to develop, to continue to improve, because Kenpokai Karate states that not one person or

school has all the answers. In Kenpokai Karate striving for that goal of knowledge is the
major factor for its success in the practice of the art.
The Way of Kenpokai Karate is to direct all possible actions towards self improvement and
self-defence.
The art of Kenpokai Karate is a fast flowing style famous for its fast, effective and dynamic
hands strikes. Leg strikes support rather than dominate any situation. An effective self-
defence program exists to ensure that Kenpokai Karate is the leader of practical and
effective self-defence.
The style has the basic of full contact Karate training (Kyokushinkai Karate).
Kenpokai Evolution
Some years back I started to get really unhappy with our Kempo Karate and Kenpo Karate
styles. I trained and studied with some great Kempo and Kenpo Masters but something was
still missing. I already studied and fought in Full Contact Karate styles like Kyokushinkai
Karate and Ashihara Karate, so I wanted to combine the Kempo and Kenpo systems with the
Full Contact styles. Not everyone was very happy with that, but they should not be afraid of
the evolution of the Martial Arts. So I started to work on the PKKS Kenpokai Karate Systems
a mix of Kempo, Kenpo, Karate, Jujutsu and Full Contact. First I got support of Master Velin
Hadjolov a great Kyokushinkai Karate Fighter from Bulgaria who developed and founded
Bulgarian Kempo, and second I got support from the great Russian Kyokushinkai Karate
Grandmaster Yuriy Kostrov who developed Agni Kempo and Kostrovs Universal Fisticuffs.
Both combined Kyokushinkai Karate with Kenpo, Kempo and Jujutsu mixed with theyre own
culture. But after a while I went my own way. I kept on searching for an organization who
could give me what I wanted and needed. On one day I contacted Grandmaster Jon
Bluming. He was very open and friendly to me and gave me a chance to enter his IBK
International Kyokushin Budokai Kan. After two years I left the IBK of Kaicho Bluming and
joined the IBK International Budo Kai Foundation of Kancho Gerard and Hanshi Nico
Gordeau.
A Martial Arts School , DOJO
The Martial Arts building or classroom is called dojo. A unique training space for martial
artists founded out of the ancestor The Buddhist Temple, religious monks (fighting monks)
came here to practise their religion. A dojo has a training floor, pictures or altar with images
of our martial ancestors, or buddhist signs, because martial arts and buddhism are some
much alike. A dojo is for everyone to fall back on and to seek protection, a safe and familiar
atmosphere. A dojo should be clean and open for everyone.

All belts (obi) should be stripped of logos and brands. The coloured stripes should be
attached by the right coloured tape on every end with a certain distance (15 mm) from each
other.
The legend of the Belt
Some styles and systems use or used the following ranking system of belts: whitebelt,
brownbelt and blackbelt. There was nothing in between. There is a certain legend about the
use of this system. People started with the whitebelt, during hard training it turned brown
after many years of hardship. A long long time after that, the brownbelt became black. And
from black it turned white again after even a longer time. Of course this is a legend. You can
try to resolve it. But its true a blackbelt turns to white after long and hard use.

techniques are allowed in self-defence Kihon.

Jujutsu
In kafckwe use Jujutsu takedown and grappling. Also we use Russia Sambo techniques. But
in kafckyou are also allowed to strike, hit, punch, kick and keep on fighting on the floar. You
can do every lock or movement.
Kata
In kafckwe use Kata but not in the belt-program. We have special Kata lessons in the dojo
for students who want to learn Kata.
Kata = Shape or Form
Kata = sequence of blocks, kicks and punches from one of more stances, involving
movement forward, backward and to the sides. The number of movements and their
sequence are very specific. The balance between offensive and defensive techniques, the
stances used and the direction and flow of movement all serve to give each kata its
distinctive character.
Through the practice of Kata, the traditional techniques used for fighting are learned.
Balance, coordination, breathing and concentration are also developed. Done properly, Kata
are an excellent physical exercise and a very effective form of total mind and body
conditioning. Kata embodies the idea of ren ma, or always polishing with diligent practice,

the moves of the Kata become further refined and perfected. The attention to detail that is
necessary to perfect a Kata cultivates self discipline.
Through concentration, dedication and practice, a higher level of learning may be achieved,
where the Kata is so ingrained in the subconscious mind that no conscious is needed. This is
what the Zen masters call mushin, or no mind. The conscious, rational thought practice is
not used at all what was once memorized is now spontaneous.
Mas Oyama said that one should think of Karate as a language the Kihon (basics) can be
thought of as the letters of the alphabet , the Kata (forms) will be the equivalent of words
and sentences, and the Kumite (fighting) will be analogous to conversations.
Time between Belts
There are 9 stages between the red and the blackbelt. In most cases it will take about 6
years in general for 1st Dan. But of course there are students who are faster and better.
Whats the meaning and purpose of Grading?
The purpose of belt grading and titles are to simulate the way education works in any field.
It is a recognized structure that tends to measure loyalty and time spent. The person makes
the art, so it is the instructors prerogative how they want to teach. The choice is traditional
to non-traditional. The meaning behind any belt is the person that gave it. The better the
lineage, the more meaning in time. Many students do not care about testing. They merely
want to get their feet wet or collect to make their own system. Only if they test yearly and
put back into the system periodically they are the truly friends who do not only care for the
information, but also care about the instructors well being. When rank is given, it cannot be
taken away, thus the need to have rapid reasoning, quick judgment and discernment of
spirit. It is much harder for a teacher to treat each student as an individual personality with
unique needs. How the course is put together also will depend on the amount of information
available to the instructor to let out. (Words by Grandmaster James Lacy)
Sabaki Technique
The Sabaki technique in Kenpokai Karate is very important. Only Ashihara Karate and Enshin
Karate use this technique besides Kenpokai Karate.

technique. When grappling or throwing you bring your opponent up and down. Circling
motion makes your techniques more heavy and powerful.
Circling Palms
In Kenpokai we use the circling palm techniques. Techniques with the open hand, palm,
inside, outside, back, sword, knife, fingers and wrist. We use these techniques in a circle
motion, inside, outside, up and down. By using speed and motion you create force and
power. These are devastating weapons in effective self-defence and combat. It can also be
used in some forms of competition fighting, but it is very dangerous to the eyes to practise
this in competition. Its more suitable for self-defence and real combat. By putting tense on
the hand muscles you create a fighting weapon with your open hand. You use your hand
strikes like a bullwhip. An iron chain with a metal ball attached to it. You use it with the fullsupport of your body, every part must move and react. In this method every block is a
strike, and every strike is a block. You dont have to waist time to put to much time in
blocking first and then striking. You can block and strike at the same time. Circling palms is
not used very often in martial art styles, because most of them are afraid and unaware of
this method. But circling palms are devastating and dangerous.
Street Fighting Style
If you practise a martial art style like Kenpokai, Kempo Karate or Full Contact Karate you will
be able to defend yourself against one or multiple attackers. But you will see that your
fighting style on the street will be different than your fighting style in the dojo or even in full
contact competition. Because the range of fighting will be different on the street. It will be
unexpected and very fast and hard. An attack can come on every moment and corner. Thats
why you have to practise a lot of close combat and grappling in your system. Because many
street attackers attack from a very close distance. Also knife training is very important.
Practise your knife and anti-knife techniques from close distance. Hand slap, speed striking,
lowkicks and knees are very important weapons in your street fighting style.
Speed Striking
In Kenpokai we practise speed striking. Speed striking means training of multiple punches
and slaps in a very short limited area of time. But speed doesnt mean soft. You must
practice very fast and hard. Also you must learn to hit multiple areas on the human body.
First start with 2 or 5 strikes in a very short limit of time. Then build it up to around 30 very
fast and hard strikes with the fist or hand. You can also use speed striking to the pressure
points.

Snap Movement
When you execute a technique with speed and force, you also have to take and pull it back
with great speed and force. When you execute a technique you have to make a opposite
counter movement. When kicking upwards you strike with your hands downwards. Pulling
back the right fist fast, creates speed and force to executed a left fist or whatever techniques
you want to use. Turning your techniques into a iron chain with a metal ball on the edge.
Make a bullwhip out of your techniques. Make use of your knees, hips, shoulders and
elbows. Every part of the body must be in action behind a single movement, to support it.
The snap movement is very important in self-defence.
Closing the Distance
When you are facing an opponent in a fighting stance, and you want to go near to him to
punch, clinch, knee kick or grasp, you will first need to close the distance between you and
your opponent.
Fighting stance facing your opponent.
You can get close to him when you open with a kick to the hip, leg or knee and then walk
towards him in a small step to get ready to punch, clinch, knee kick or grasp.
You can practise this concept in many ways and combinations of attacks, defences and take
downs.
Escrima Stick Fighting
In Kenpokai we use the short twin sticks as one of the main external weapons in Kenpo. We
use them in the same way as the circling palm strikes and multiple punches. You can use the
twin sticks in a very fast and powerful way. Its force and purpose are devastating. Dual twin
sticks build up great movement and coordination. There are great techniques and
movements in twin stick fighting. An expert in this weapon is more then an expert inunarmed fighting, because many movements are just an extension of unarmed fighting. You
can also use only one fighting stick, in this way you can train your left and right side equally.
After this you can use them together as devastating Kenpokai twin fighting sticks.
Whats the difference between Kempo and Kenpo?
Nothing. Actually, the only difference is in the translation of the Kanji to its English form. The
word Kempo and Kenpo are both pronounced the same and both mean Law Of The Fist.
When the Japanese Kanji for Kempo is brought into English, either a m or n is placed in

the word. Generally though, the more traditional forms of Kempo use the Kempo form,
while the more non-traditional or contemporary versions use Kenpo.
Kiai
A loud noise cause by the rapid expulsion of air from the diaphragm of the body. This
expulsion of air creates stability, increases force, fortifies the body and can have a
psychological effect upon your opponent. Kiai originally meant breathing exercise. The
Japanese term for Chi is Ki.
Fighting Range - DistanceIn fighting and self-defence there are three types of distances.
Short Distance
Medium Distance
Long Distance
Short Distance can be used for Punches, Kicks and Grappling.
Medium Distance can be used for Kicks and Punches.
Long Distance can be used for Kicks.
Also many combinations of three distances are possible. If you execute a technique you
must be sure that you are not to far or to short in the right distance. You must calculate the
impact and power of a technique. If you execute a kicking technique from a long distance
but youre even to far out of the long distance, your kick will not have the desired effect that
you wanted. This is the same in working with external weapons. Not only the distance to hit
an opponent with your weapon is important, but also the distance you need to handle your
weapon.
Safety Zone
In Kenpokai we use the technique of the safety zone to get ourselves in a safe defence and
rest position. The safety zone is keeping very close to the opponent. You will get real close
like in a clinching position. In this very close distance the opponent is not able to punch or
kick you in a very hard way. He can only use short range attacks like knees or elbows. In
this position you can get yourself in a good position to grasp and to make take downs.
Getting into the safety zone can be executed by the technique of closing the distance.Getting out of the safety zone can be executed by the technique of opening the distance. If

you give your opponent large openings to attack you, the attack will be very hard. If you
give your opponent much shorter openings, he will not be able to attack hard.
Scissors Move
The scissors move is called a double counter strike with your attack weapons. A movement
like double or twin hammers, double knife and a checking technique together with a strike.
Often used to opposite sites of the human body, left and right side head, front and backside
body. You can hold your opponent with one side and hit him at the opposite side. This way
you create a striking check.
Sinking (Drop) Stance
In Kenpokai we use the technique of the sinking stance or drop stance. Meaning: by turning
your pelvis you can add much more weight and power into your stance. This way you really
will have a good foundation for your movements. Your stance will be much stronger and
solid for attacks to your upper and lower body (sweeps, throws etc). You must practise your
stance day after day. Everything comes from a good foundation, and if your foundation is
not right, you will not be able to execute good techniques.
Fighting Directions
In Kenpokai we use many different angles and directions to block, kick or punching. We
move horizontal, vertical, diagonal and circular. In this way you will cover all possible
directions for defence and attack.
Also your footwork moves in the same way as the figure shows. You can go to the front,
back, side, up and down.

Open hand slap vs fist Punches
In Kenpokai we often use open hand slaps and strikes to the body and the face. We use
these strikes with great power and speed, like a bullwhip. The impact of an open hand strike
can be far more devastating than a normal fist strike. An open hand covers much more
space than a normal fist, it has a larger surface. A normal fist strike hurts more on a certain
place and upper surface, an open hand strike hurts on a much larger scale and underneath
the surface and causes tears and damage in the eyes. In this way you take out the control of
the body, you hurt his vision and take out his spirit to fight. Without the eyes the opponent
is far more less dangerous then with his vision still intact. By using fast multiple hand slaps
you create chaos and pain on many different places of the body, in this way the opponent
cannot react to his pain on so many places at the same time. In this chaos you can use more
directed techniques to take the opponent out. The pressure points are very important targets
also with the open hand slaps.
Footwork
In the Kenpokai system we use two types of footwork. 1 Fast, mobile and flexible for self-
defence. 2 Slow, moving but steady for Full Contact Karate.
1 You have to be very fast in self-defence, flexible and mobile to change your position and
angles for defending yourself against one or multiple fighters. Self-defence is very different
than Full Contact Fighting. You can expect an attack out of every position and angle withoutrules and honour. And when weapons are used your chances are very limited. You have to
be fast and mean to survive. And your footwork can help you defend yourself to get away
from the aggressor and situation.
2 In Full Contact Karate like Kyokushinkai Karate and Ashihara Karate you also have to be
fast but you cannot move too light and fast because you will go down when your opponent
kicks or punches you. You have to be steady to take the blows. You have to be a rock
walkin towards the opponent with respect and honour.
