I'm here to share my journey about my thoughts and progress in kyokushin karate, not that i'm a prominent player or anything but as a part of what i think is a necessary way to track my progress and to share my thoughts about kyokushin as it become a part of my life and a major concern in my mind so that i think we can call this blog as a partial diary!
shotokan days
I started kyokushin when i was in high school it was the nearby club, i started with karate shotokan, which was an Olympic sport that i can practice for free with a very cool stances and visually entertaining performance of fighting, then again it wasn't something i have intended to push myself out of the shotokan, but the training routine was designed to separate the club for two groups, The beginners who can only practice kata and the advance players whom are usually playing kumite the problem is that some of those professional kumite players whom achieved a universal records had never actually practiced kata even for a one day! the have been chosen for the physical features there leopard speed that's why a lot of them are actually white belts!
that kind of separation have disturbed me to not discover the sport side of the karate just because i'm not chosen or not good enough!
a long boring kata days have passed and we got a belt promotion test every six months, i passed my first belt safely, on my second belt test day, the club supervisor saw me and my cousin practicing kata nearby the bus, because my cousin have a higher belt he did teach me my kata, so the club owner who don't usually bother talking with free riders kata players like us saw him and scold him for practicing the wrong kata, when he tried to explain to him that he is only rehearse the kata with me he shouted "non of you two will go to the test" he gave us his back and walk all proud with his toxic authority! that mean we have to wait another for months to take a rest that we were preparing for the past four months! a huge disappointment puts a shade onto us, we thought that we will be eventually be chosen to be kumite fighters as we are fast and in shape but the owner's impression was a big shock!
eventually we waited the other four months practicing from 5 pm to 7 pm repeating the same katas and kihon every session, but at the end of each session we were catching a glance on the kyokushin karate practice which usually starts just after our shotokan class, neat guys playing full contact with short sleeves gi during those four months the magic acted fast and i reached the kyokushin senpai to ask him about the details and how can i join the club.

on our test day promotion we (me and my cousin) return to the club by bus owning our new belts, the same day we have changed into white belts and joined kyokushin, we felt amazing with preforming real punches and real kicks without hesitated of making your punch or kick effective (it's a foul to attack with full power in shotokan)
