Enshin vs Kyokushin?

Question

I have been interested in starting training in Kyokushin, yet I havent found any dojos in my area. There are, however, Enshin karate dojos. Is Enshin an adequate substitute for Kyokushin?

Answer 1

Enshin is not the same as kyokushin. Their rules are centered around grabbing and doing sabaki. Sabaki in japan is a generic name for circular motion and evasion.

Enshin came from Ashihara Karate. Ashihara was frist kyokushin and started Enshin. Shihan Ninomiya was trained by Ashihara.

Ninomiya later started Enshin.
