Now that is a
47yearscan Kyokushin presence1966Guam! Shihan Josephfeature that our
students
be proud of. Since
when
Tedtaotao
returned from his training with Legendary Karate Master Sosai Oyama,
Guam has become the receptor of Kyokushin training which has seen
several dojos and uncountable students who have all had a taste of the
Kyokushin flare! Guam has even seen the rise of local black belts who have
all contributed one way or another to the reputation as the World’s Strongest
Karate.
The standards of GKKA has always been reflective of the same
standards as the International Karate Organization (IKO) in Tokyo. As the
years of growing into a world re-known organization, much can be said
about the development of the techniques and methods of the Kyokushin
Fighter. Although it seems faster and laden with precision techniques, the art
is still the same--It is a fighting art! The Kyokushin Cornerstone would
like to acknowledge our three previous Branch Chiefs and to thank them
Sensei Anthony Rodriguez
for all their hard work, sweat, blood, and tears to make this organization
Branch Chief
October 2013 - Present
what it is today; an outstanding living example of the mottoes of Mas
Oyama!
