Shinzen Dojo Berlin: The sym­bio­sis of Kyo­kus­hin Karate and Berlin vita­lity under a new logo

Liebe Freunde, Schüler und Unterstützer des Kyokushin Karate,

in Shinzen Dojo Berlin the essence of Kyokushin Karate flourishes, immersed in the pulsating heart of Berlin. Today we would like to introduce you not only to our dojo but also to our newly designed logo, which symbolizes the interweaving of our practice with the unmistakable energy of Berlin.

A newly desi­gned logo: Berlin's spirit at the core of our dojo

Our new logo reflects the ongoing dialogue between the robustness of Kyokushin Karate and the raw, authentic beauty of Berlin. It is a visual tribute to the city, which is not only our home but also a constant source of inspiration for our practice.

The strength of Kyo­kus­hin Karate: Imbued with Berlin's heart­beat

Die Einzigartigkeit des Kyokushin Karate – intensiv, vollkontakt, und ohne Zurückweichen – spiegelt sich in dem pulsierenden Leben Berlins wider. Sosai Mas Oyama prägte die Mentalität, dass

“The heartbeat is the basis. Feel the rhythm of life and fight with maximum power.”

Berlin and Kyo­kus­hin Karate: Two hearts in harmony

The blend of history and pulsating energy that Berlin radiates is found in every punch and kick of our training. As Senpai Son Le put it:

“Berlin is not just the place where we train. It is the energy that drives us and the rhythm to which our heart beats for Kyokushin Karate.”

Our values: Advan­cing in com­mu­nity

  • Communal journeys: We continuously develop as individuals and as a community.
  • Deep respect: A culture of mutual respect shapes our relationships.
  • Endless journey: The path of Kyokushin is endless and always enriching.
  • And in the words of Mas Oyama: Mas Oyama:

“The way of the martial arts is, in reality, a way of life.”

Your journey, your begin­ning

We invite you to join us on a journey through the Kyokushin Karate and to walk through the heart of Berlin. Here, at Shinzen Dojo Berlin, a community awaits you that will support you in every moment of your journey.

Senpai Son Le shares with us:

“Your starting point is not important – only that you begin. Here you will find support at every stage of your journey.”
