Kyokushin Kaikan Karate is a traditional Japanese style which was founded by Sosai Masutatsu Oyama.  It is world renound as, "the Strongest Karate."   Many martial art styles teach predominately boxing or kicking.  Kyokushin's emphasis is placed equally on developing techniques for hands and feet.   It is a demanding style, which requires patience and perseverance.

The SAIZEN DOJO

The Saizen Dojo, founded in 1960 by Sensei Robert Downey, is the oldest running dojo (karate school), and the first Kyokushin Kaikan school in all the Southern Tier area.

Self-defense, kata, free-fighting, weapons training, stretching, sparring, and physical and mental training are taught.  Karate can help any person to react faster to modern situations, allow oneself to defend against danger, or help oneself cope with the stresses at work, home or school.

Karate is for anyone, from 5 to 95, interested in fitness and/or learning to protect oneself.

KYOKUSHIN KARATE FITNESS CENTER

Total fitness is a defense against fatigue, depression and stress.  It helps strengthen and tone your entire body, restoring balance, poise and self-confidence.  It leaves you feeling refreshed and revitalized, ready to cope with anything that life offers.
