Introduction and Acknowledgements Welcome ! Thank you for downloading 'Kyokushin Budo Kai: The Ultimate Beginners Guide' from www.kyokushinbudokai.org. This document and the site which provides it are the premier English language resources for all things Budokai. Both the site and this guide are freely available and of benefit to practitioners of Kyokushin Budo Kai, Kyokushin Karate (at times known as 'Kyokushinkai'), Judo, Jiu Jitsu (aka. Ju Jitsu), Free Fight and Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) worldwide. As a student of Kyokushin Budo Kai, I have spent many hundreds of hours researching websites, in four different languages, in an effort to gain as much knowledge as possible concerning the International Kyokushin Budokai, Jon Bluming (founder and President) and background information concerning the martial arts that make up the Kyokushin Budo Kai system. I would like to thank all Budoka that have posted material online. Without their efforts - the construction of this single source of information would not have been possible. This document has been compiled following many, many, many months of internet research into the techniques and philosophies of the styles of Kyokushin Budo Kai, Kyokushin Karate, Jiu Jutsu, Judo and Sambo. I researched it's contents purely for the purpose of PERSONAL development and in order to improve my understanding as a practitioner of Kyokushin Karate, Judo and Jiu Jitsu under my Sensei, Charley Herwig (3. Dan), who's Dojo is associated with International Kyokushin Budo Kai. I have decided to make this research freely available in a single document in order to spare fellow practitioners - present and future - from having to do the same! Not everybody has the benefit of unlimited time and internet access! This document is FREE OF CHARGE and must ALWAYS remain so. If you have paid ANY FEE of ANY KIND then the 'seller' has likely infringed the copyright of the individuals that are responbile for the creation of the original texts from which much of this guide is compiled. I feel that the following should be made clear: Without the time, knowledge and effort of those involved in the production of the information available on assorted web-sites globaly (in various languages), it would not have been possible for me to collate this information into a single source. My personal development in Budo owes much to the information given freely by these Budoka. I offer my heartfelt gratitude for all that they give to the world of Budo. The material contained in this document is believed to be in the public domain (that is: any 'non-original' material has been compiled from internet sites where no copyright claim was made) and it is my belief that no copyright has been broken. Kyokushin Budo Kai: The Ultimate Beginners Guide consists of material from the following sources: - Self produced material. - Material which I have translated from other languages (in the main: German and Dutch). - Material which I have re-written to improve the readability of texts written by non-natives speakers of English. - Material directly copied from internet sources (which I believe to be WITHOUT copyright). - Material which has helped for the basis of my opinions regarding Budo that may have been partially changed to better reflect my own thoughts. Again : no copyright has been intentionally infringed and this document is offered NOT FOR PROFIT OR COMMERCIAL USE OF ANY KIND. I am simply sharing the results of my research. Whilst this guide was compiled to help out those new to Budo Kai, I am certain that it will be of equal benefit to beginners and Dan grades alike. Remember, this is just a guide to be used as reference material only. Without regular training in connection with a certified instructor – this information is fairly useless. I wish you every success in your Budo development. Osu ! ...
