Services
United States Kyokushin Karate - IFK Organization (USA-IFKK), with headquarters located in Rochester, New York, is the official U.S. organization of the International Federation of Karate (IFK) Kyokushin. The USA-IFKK was founded in 1996 by Shihan Michael Monaco, Nanadan (7th Dan), who was previously United States Branch Chief of the International Karate Organization.
Training is tough but rewarding - not only do you get a great cardiovascular workout, but you'll also develop self-esteem. Strength of character and, of course, the confidence of knowing you can look after yourself when needed. Kyokushin classes are broken into three aspects. At the beginning of the class, you'll be taken through some basic stretching and joint-loosening movements, and then some aerobic exercise such as light jogging.

Excellent place to learn martial arts that will challenge your body mind and spirit. There is a reason why people call Kyokushin Karate the strongest karate. You will get in shape and learn how to defend yourself. The sensei helps all students to improve not only in technique but sparring also.

The best martial arts academy in Florida. Period. The training is hard and tough but it will feel like you accomplished something when you are finished.

Small group training which is very nice and you get a ton of attention.

Amazing teacher and school. Kyokushin makes you tough in a way that other martial arts doesn't but whats most important is the instructor which you get A+ instruction here.

Man do I ever love kyokushin when it's taught right. I come from 25 years experience with a black belt in BJJ, lifetime of Muay Thai and a 4th degree black belt in Filipino Martial arts (doce pares).

There is something special about Kyokushin and Sensei Duran is an unbelievable teacher who has such an open mind and selfless approach.

I am an honest guy who leaves honest reviews. Try the class. It's worth it.

I have been training at AIKARA Kyokushin karate since it opened and I have to say it is one of the best martial arts school I have ever been in my life. The level of instruction and care by Sempai Duran is amazing. I am proud to be his student and being able to be his disciple. OSU!!!

Excellent, semi-private instruction in Kyokushin Karate. Senpai David Duran is a great instructor who really loves Kyokushin and offers truly authentic training. He incorporates plenty of sparring (Kumite) and also throws in lots of self-defense instruction, blending some krav maga techniques. I highly recommend this full-contact knockdown karate style!
