What's with the extra shin? True Ultimate Truth karate? Is the whole warring factions thing that bad? I practice Kyokushin as part of a breakaway club, we still compete in the official tournaments, but we're really not privy to what goes on in the main branches.
@psychedashell The kanji for Shin in this case translates to "new" so its "new kyokushin".
The reason was that a few years ago there was 4 groups in Japan claiming the same identical names, with endless legal cases going back and forth. Publicity and otherwise it was a confusing nightmare.
IKO(2) under Kenji Midori decided to rename itself to get away from the whole mess.
Outside of Japan the old names are still occasionally used, but on the whole the name change was very successful.
@kolsyrade Thanks for clearing that up. Two big branches of Kyokushin in Australia that I know of, but both fall under the AKKA banner and compete in the same tournaments, do the four groups still hold one world championship or are there four seperate ones?
@psychedashell One of the main problems that made IKO2 change to shinkyokushin 2003 was that there were several world tournaments with identical names, Its hard to interest Sport TV and sponsors when there are 3 (1999), to outsiders identical, world tournaments held within a few months.
Each major group hold separate world tournament, world cup´s, all japan open -everything.
As far as AKKA goes, it is affiliated to IKO3 (Matsushima), you will not see them work with IKO1,2,4 or any other big org
@kolsyrade That's a shame. Having all four competing in the same world cup would be awesome, see who has the best of the best each year, it would probably be good for all factions too. Fiercer competition and better students.
@psychedashell Shinkyokushin in Australia is a separate organisation to AKKA. Its just that some of our fighters join their tournaments, and vice versa.
