極真, the ultimate truth
I.K.O.N Kyokushin Singapore is the Singapore chapter of the International Karate Organization Nakamura, a global Kyokushin lineage headed by Daihyo Masanaga from Japan.
Kyokushin, founded by Sosai Masutatsu Oyama, is a full-contact style of karate built on the philosophy that true strength is tested honestly, through repetition, sparring and the will to keep going. We train with that spirit every week in Singapore.
Our dojos welcome adults, youth and children, beginners and experienced karateka, into a community that values respect for the art, the instructor, the partner, and the self.

of the karateka.
Karate, practised seriously, changes the person. These are the four qualities we train students to carry, into the dojo, and out into life.
Self Discipline
Repetition, focus, physical and mental fitness, Kyokushin requires that you pay attention to your movement and execute with precision, again and again.
Self Humility
Respect for instructors, training partners and opponents. Acknowledging that everyone has something to learn, and something to teach.
Self Defence
Striking, blocking and evasive techniques sharpened in sparring. Timing, reflexes and awareness that translate beyond the dojo.
Self Confidence
Mastery of technique. Overcoming demanding sessions. Strength and capability in your body, and certainty in who you are.
