    I started going to KBI about two years ago. I was looking for a place I could practice judo and be…read morecomfortable doing it, which can get tricky for any female in a male dominated sport. I tried out everyplace that offered judo in the city and wasn't happy. Almost giving up on finding the perfect dojo, I decided to pop into Kokushi Budo. It was an incredible first day and every day since has only gotten better. They were so welcoming. I was greeted by Sensei Andy who showed me the ropes and made sure I felt welcome and comfortable. He answered all of my questions and really helped me connect with the dojo. Sensei Shintaro Higashi is an unmatched Judoka in skill and finesse. He's an amazing teacher who all of us admire and can really look up to. I can honestly say that I feel safer in the streets of NYC from what I have learned from Sensei and everyone else at Kokushi. As my schedule allows, I sometimes make it early to class and wait as the kid's program finishes. Andy and Shintaro are easily the the best Sensei's I have ever seen with young people - they're outstanding role models and you can see how much they care for their students. KBI is not just a dojo, it's a family who cares about the success and well being of ALL its members. And that my friends is priceless.

    Came here as I am also a Kyokushin practitioner, they never answered any of my phone calls, emails,…read morenor requests from their website. I've even went to their dojo after work and I waited until their entire training session was over. There was no instructor or anything to talk to regarding to sign up or even learn more about the class. It was quite appalling with the lack of professionalism, I had hope that I would be able to talk with someone regarding classes, fees, and schedules but nothing. Their website info is also outdated too.

Kyokushin karate has its origins in Bodhidharma (Daruma in Japanese), an Indian prince and Buddhist priest who traveled to the Shaolin temple in China in the early sixth century. It's one of the hardest sub-styles of Karate where "sparring" involves full-contact (kumite), and no sparring gear is allowed.
