World Oyama Karate is based on the ancient traditional system of training. Our style is quite different from most modern styles of Karate. Modern Karate is arranged for education. This academic approach is not bad, but it misses some important basic points. In most modern Karate styles, the student just punches the air, kicks the air and blocks the air. There is no contact. Without contact, the student cannot really understand the connection between basic training, KATA training and KUMITE training.

At World Oyama Karate in Atlanta, you will learn ancient full contact training techniques in a modern training environment.

Sensei Takahashi is a 4th degree black belt with over 25 years experience. He is a former champion fighter in many full contact tournaments all around the world. Sensei is a former Uchi Deshi of Soshi Saiko Shihan Oyama.

Saiko Shihan Oyama (co-founder of World Oyama Karate) is a 9th degree black belt and world renowned authority on Karate as well as an author of several books including "Perfect Karate" and "Uchi Deshi in Amerca."
