Big Japanese Art What is "Kyokushin" and "Oyama" in Japanese means?
Top Contributors can you confirm this? I heard "Oyama" means "Big Mountain", "Kyokushin" (sorry, if it's wrong sp) means "real" anything? i mean Oyama's martial arts, what does the name mean? like karate or "Kala-te" is "empty hands" is that all right?
"Kyokushinkai" - The name of the style is in full-Japanese for "The society of ultimate truth." Masutatsu Oyama is the name of art of the founders. "Oyama" actually means "Great Mountain": It's a name he took when he moved from Korea to Japan. His original name was Choi Yeong-eui, although he prefers to Choi Baedal. Karate was originally written with characters for "China hand", which placed its origin in Chinese Kung-fu martial artists from Okinawa. It was later amended in order to be written with the characters for "empty hand", the more pronounced the same attempt, by Japanese, the art Remote sensing of and resistance to promote a nationalist population towards learning a Chinese art.
