I took ten years of kyokushinkai, then we joined Joko under Ashihara, and w/in the year, Joko broke off and founded Enshin, but sadly my teacher then left and founded his own style, and I went with him. Over the years, we just dissolved and he stopped teaching. I wish I would have stuck w/Enshin, OSU!

that's quite more right jajaja , yeah kancho joko ninomiya won the 1978 all japan kyokushin tournament and won the third place in the 1975 kyokushin world tournament , i just was trying to say that enshin is more similar to ashihara karate than kyokushin itself and that in a Straight chronological line enshin is a direct offshot of ashihara but of course you can also consider it of kyokushin , since ashihara came from it and there are also similarities

actually, Joko Ninomiya (the founder of Enshin), was a kyokushin man, and well known kyokushin tournament champion, a long time (training under Hideyuki Ashihara who by then was a kyokushin man himself) long before Hideyuki Ashihara broke out of Kyokushin to found Ashihara karate -taking Ninomiya with him as his second in command (which he reamained until he in turn broke out of ashihara karate a few years later to found enshin). So Enshin is a offshot of BOTH Ashihara and Kyokushin :-)

Osu!!! Bushi22 you are right but the rules of the sabaki challenge are more similar to the ashihara karate rules and in a direct way enshin is an offshoot of ashihara karate not of kyokushin , but if you see it in the way that kyokushin is the father of real karate (kenka karate , or budo karate as you want) then you are right . Osu!!!

Sabaki challenge event is one of the few real karate tournaments held in the us -arranged annualy by the Enshin karate style. The rules are version of the kyokusin karate "knockdown" rules (enshin is a offshoot from kyokushin), but in a slightly modified version to allow grabpull -which is usualy dissallowed.
