The legacy of Sosai Mas Oyama: Kyokushin Karate and its impact on our lives
Heute, am 27. July 2024, feiern wir den 101. Geburtstag von Sosai Mas Oyama, dem visionären Gründer des Kyokushin Karate. Mit seiner unerschütterlichen Hingabe und seinem Streben nach Perfektion hat er die Welt des Karate revolutioniert. Obwohl Sosai am 26. April 1994 verstorben ist, lebt sein Vermächtnis in unseren Herzen und Taten weiter.
“One becomes a beginner after one thousand days of training and an expert after ten thousand days of practice.” – Sosai Mas Oyama
Kyokushin Karate: A Way of Life
Kyokushin Karate ist mehr als nur eine Martial art style. Es ist eine Philosophy, eine Lebensweise, die Disziplin, Respekt und innere Stärke fördert. Diese Prinzipien sind in unserer heutigen schnelllebigen und oft herausfordernden Welt von unschätzbarem Wert.
Discipline and Perseverance
Kyokushin Karate teaches us discipline and perseverance. The rigorous training methods and high standards require a great deal of self-control and commitment. These skills are not only useful in the dojo, but also in many aspects of daily life, including the professional environment.
“True karate is this: that in daily life one's mind and body be trained and developed in a spirit of humility.” – Sosai Mas Oyama
Respect and Community
Another central aspect of Kyokushin Karate is respect – for oneself, for others, and for the art of karate. This attitude of respect fosters a strong community in which everyone supports and inspires one another.
At Shinzen Dojo Berlin, under the leadership of Senpai Son, this sense of community is actively lived out. You learn not only the technical skills of karate here, but also the importance of cohesion and mutual support.
Kyokushin Karate in Professional Life
The principles of Kyokushin Karate can be excellently applied to professional life. Discipline, perseverance, and respect are key qualifications required in every professional field. Many people who practise Kyokushin Karate report improved stress management skills, increased concentration, and stronger mental resilience.
“The heart of our karate is real fighting. There can be no proof without real fighting.” – Sosai Mas Oyama
