See guys, from all over the world, this is how you become a black belt, give all of yourself in every test, doing katas with strength, doing everything you can even when you’re weak and tired, this guys truly deserve to teach other people! Congratulations to the newest black belts!

what an emotional journey...being a kyokushin black belt is not a matter of joke

standing ovation !!! I practice Shotokan, and to be honest we are not even shy close to these guys endurance

I passed my Kyokushin Black Belt in Canada under Shihan Andre Gilbert . I remember that it was a tough day but also a very rewarding day. However we had kumite with 15 trainees, 14th was my Sensei and 15th was the other trainee passing black belt with me, we also had a Tameshiwari test and a written test in addition to the physical and kata test. Osu to all the new Black Belts!

Wow!! Gives me chills and tears. Mad respect to all of you. They deserved it. I'm just a 29yr old guy starting Kyokushin Karate 2weeks ago.

I am a humble Nidan Black belt in Goju Ryu and Instructor. My heart is so large right now, for all of the amazing trial test subjects. I am so full of pride, for all their efforts. OSU. 👍🇨🇦👍🇨🇦👍❤️

The man that started fighting at 6:00 must be atleast in his late 40s of even reached 50. Hats off to him💪

This makes me cry, I'm so proud of my fellow karate brothers and sisters

I salute and congrats all the aspiring blackbelts. you deserve to promote...a high reputation of karate belongs to Kyokushinkai.In my opinion as a Karate practioner.Big Respect to the founder of the Art Sensei Mas Oyama👏👏proud Shotokan Karate from Philippines...Ossu

As shotokan karateka I'm amashed that our sport has been outdone by Kyokushin. Much respect for Mas Oyama, Andy Hug and others!

Remember my Sho Dan exam 20 years ago. 1 1/2 years of constant preparation. Though i was in my prime it still felt like being tossed into a meat grinder. Nevertheless after being handed the kuro obi the mixed sensation of pain and joy was the best feeling in the world. Osu

The Spirit of Kyokushin NEVER Gives Up. Well done. OSU.

My son is doing Kyokushin Karate, he is no where near this level as he is on his red belt now. I know with alot of determination and practice and spirit he can achieve whatever he puts his mind to. OSU from Australia. Congratulations to all the black belts!

Shotokan student here wow I’m blown away by the skill set and mental toughness they have so much respect 🥋👊👍👏 love it

Love watching these tough people as a former practitioner of Pencak Silat and Shao lin kungfu I have nothing but deep respect for their thougness and persistence🙏🏾

"The child in tears fights against the parent who challenge to obtain a black belt" This reminds me when my sensei beat me up in a sparring, I was young so I couldn't land any hits except punches, I was overpowered in everything, and the style we were practicing is shotokan, I had no chance and he broke a string of my gi, I don't hate him but that was the biggest beating I have ever gotten

Congrats on the new black belts. They truly deserved it! Karate in America is so tame compared to this kind of testing. This is the kind of testing we need. I see way too many "black belts" who are just awful. When I become an instructor, my students will be just like this. My students will experience failure at testing if they don't give it their all. In my gung fu class, my Sifu is like that. There were a handful of students going for brown sash which is one away from black sash. He was saying that they weren't giving it 100%. He slammed the clipboard and gave them a peptalk and told them to leave. They will have to wait another year to test again.

Amazing physical, stamina and psychological test. So much respect for these three people, osu!

Well done to all the Kareteka taking part in the grading true dedication and discipline to a noble art . Very impressive 👏

Impressive training and assessment process. I've done Judo and Kung Fu in the past, and the gradings were always extremely tough. Both required execution of repetitive techniques, forms (kata) and sparring (fighting) several others in a line up.

Much respect to every one who tested.

It's Japan where karate came from,,,so you'd expect NOTHING but extreme,over the top physical ENDURANCE,,, good ole hard shit Kyokushin,,, the late great Grandmaster Mas Oyama, he was a tough old bastard... funny how everyone, everywhere in the world, cries when receiving their 1st Dan grade. ..well deserved.

Great motivation to harder trainings. Osu ! from Poland

I'm fan of martial arts,, especially with Kyokushin & ShotoKaN Karate, to our beloved founders Mas oyama & Gichin Funakushi,, 👍👍👍👍👍

Osu! Congratulations to all who applied for shodan and nidan tests.. it's not easy at all, the preparation and test itself is really tough, thanks for sharing

this set me on fire

I'm a little stunned by the age of some of the Japanese brown belts (my assumption, since I'm not seeing any Westerners here). Throughout my relatively short time in Kyokushin and Shotokan I just assumed that most of the Japanese made Shodan in their teens and were usually Sandan by the time they were able to teach overseas - anyone over 30 was usually well on their way to international recognition. Given the hours that many Japanese work, kudos to anyone beyond college age who can dedicate their time to something this tough, especially if they're expected to be back at work first thing Monday. I had to catch a train to Narita for an early flight and was surprised to find salarymen already hurrying to work - for those guys, that would probably read 'hobbling' .......

Toughest martial art school ,to pass an exam and move on to the next belt/level !!!! Years and years ago after army ,when I was on an the toughest physical condition , we worked together- guys from two styles. The warm up were :100 jumps w knee to the chest, 100 sit ups with legs and chest going up the same time and 100 fist push ups ,no break between.After practice were finishing with 1-10-1 , same things from the warm up ,but you do 1 of each,next 2 of each and so up to 10(10 jumps, 10 sit ups and 10 push ups) next 9 and so to 1///.It takes over 15 minutes just that part....and finished getting tsuki to my abs for 1 min straight from the 82 kg national champion in kyokushin..right after(always worked full contact and trained to toughen up the shin, etc..)..Was still standing and breathing ok. Unfortunately after injuries I contemplate..that time. All respect for the spirit of kyokushin !!!

The true strongest karate, I practice both kyokushin and shidokan karate , kyokushin is leaps and bounds harder.

Wow! I am speechless! Congratulations!!!!!!!

I started Kyokushin around 3 months ago and I'm scared and impressed at the same time

nice encouragement from the kids they look very much in to it with there hearts

Just Beautiful!

All my respect and congratulations for the three. Greetings from Spain.

Appreciate for theirs spirit of Kyokushin Karate

Much respect, they got balls of steel. Yes the ladies also.

Beautiful, Ossu!

I am so impressed, what inspiration. Domo arigato gozaimasu

How much easier it would be if the dan promotion（black belt） test was just about fighting style and technique.

Theres just something about the kids cheering getting all excited about people beating the piss out themselves that I find just so endearing and so funny.

Kyokushinkai the strongest karate created!

Felicitaciones desde Argentina!

Excellent spirit displayed by everybody! OSU!

Crazy hard. Great Job!

Osu. Congratulations to all the new black belts.

My sensei told me about this now I am seeing it and really it looks more tough than what he said....anyways I am in red belt now.😀

proud of blckbelt japan..OSS from indonesia kyokushinkai

What I like is the bare hand fighting. In our Shaolin sparring we use gloves. It feels a little too modern.

Best wish And GOOD LUCK. KYOKUSHIN 4KYU..m...

Respect to them. This looks really tough

You tap me, I'll tap you, when the Sensei's looking our way we'll fight a bit harder, then we'll go and get pissed up on Saki rice wine.

Every bit as brutal and mentally taxing as I expected. Well deserved everyone!

Kyokushin school hard trening and clean techink best,Oyama and Andy Hug R.I.P....

What a hard achievement...Congratulations all....

amazing Karate...

Spinning kick in a squated position . Is that like a Spinning rear leg sweep ? Hand stand walk for 10 meters or 10 minutes?

Wow..Respect!!!OSU!

Congratulations!

I had to wait 4 years from 1st kyu to await my shodan in kyokushin, could have gone to another style and done it in 3 years.

i saw that in my dojo from a young student as a warm up for kicks

OSU! Well done !!

Great

Kyokushin Power! Osu!

If u use vitamin C serum - it can help get rid of brown spots on the face.

How many kihon/basic at Sodan Grading , minimal 10 kumite ?

Kanku Dai for a shodan test? Usually I see the black belts start to learn kanku dai later on

and the idogeiko?

And somewhere else, people buy Black Belt certificates for 50$.

I'm still trying to find out why did I 20 kumite during my trials? I miss this so much though 💔

"Black belt doesn't mean you can actually last in a fight"... show them this video

That is intense

atleast i know what i have to train for in a couple of years cause im only orange black tip rn:)

Idk if i'll be able to take this😳 Just Kidding, I will gladly do this to get stronger 🤣

karate focus on real life needs, kungfu focus on all the flashy moves fit for opera and movies

this is really really difficult

what happen if you start Kyokushin at 60 years old ?

I'm in my late 30s, thinking of joining Kyokushin..used to train in Shotokan, is it totally different than shotokan?

I have 2 questions to make. First; Is it good to only do this kind of sparring with contact to the body and only kicks to the head allowed? Idk if it doesn't create the bad habit of not protecting the chin. And second; Does this style teach you defensive technique? Such as blocking, dodging or just controlling the distance, i ask beacuse as i saw, yes, it teaches you to resist blows, but not to defend them, basically being a sort of tank. If anyone could answer me i would like it, beacuse i don't know if i could like this style.

De luva ????

I'd love to see McDojo teachers pee in their pants doing this. 😅

the real stuff

Osu 🙏❤️

Don t mess with any kuykushinkai1st dan . Guy or girl, young or old

I started kartee and my my brutal but I like it

I have published a video of the promotion examination conducted in 2023. Please be sure to check it out as well. Trial to black belt of Kyokushin Karate Grading Test Black Belt 2023 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o9d5q7uQ09iveYk.html

Hus vary Nice

Osu 🎉❤😊

I like narusima ryo

all this on hardwood floor is not easy..

What a bad fighting, no foot work, no evasion/blocking, no power in strikes...just a controlled brawl.

Ossu BRASIL..

Someday I become black belt

Big Osu

OSU!

impossible for some who cant hand stand

And they say American collegiate wrestling is the hardest sport in the world

8:22 his watch looks pretty expensive

Funny how technique goes out the window when you're exhausted.
