In 1957, Concho Mas Oyama developed the first full contact style of Karate called Kyokushin ("Ultimate Truth"). Known for it's bare-knuckle and full contact fighting, Kyokushin rapidly grew into a world renowned international organization spanning many countries. Soshu Shigeru Oyama, a 10th dan black belt, with over 50 years of martial arts experience, brought Kyokushin to America in 1967. Soshu fought the legendary 100-man Kumite winning 100 consecutive bouts with black belt opponents in a single day and won the Japanese All-Japan Championship in Kumite. Shihan Ray Martens, a 6th degree black belt with a military background, became one of Soshu's most senior students and developed USA Seishin Association of Kyokushin Karate.
