Kyokushin International Karate Organisation (KIKO)

Our purpose is the teaching and development of students in Kyokushin Karate as taught by our founder Sosai Mas Oyama. Students of all levels will always be guided and encouraged to strive for their best to progress in life and to achieve their goals regardless of what they may be. There are no limits to strive for and to compete in events at State, National and International levels. The Kyokushin International Karate Organisation (KIKO) was founded in 2017 by Kancho Doug Turnbull to: promote on an international basis the teaching, practice and dissemination of information on Kyokushin karate. Teach and promote Kyokushin kihon, kata, kumite and grading within national organisations. Provide an International teaching group to national organisations.be consistent in International Dan Grade Certificates and in providing the above, continue to maintain the national countries’ own independence, ideal and philosophy. If there was one goal Kancho Doug Turnbull is to achieve it is a standard of Kyokushin as taught by Sosai Mas Oyama. As Sosai Mas Oyama always said the only way an international organisation could be unified is by regulating the practice and teaching of kata and kihon across the various national organisations whereby all Kyokushin karateka, in any Dojo from any country should perform the techniques and kata in the same manner. Kancho Doug Turnbull will continue the grading syllabus for the KIKO and on Kyokushin Kata, Kumite, Kihon to enable the individual to strive for the same level of excellence.
