Shinkyokushin representative in Belo Horizonte, Brazil
Andrius Oliveira is a practitioner and instructor of martial arts and self-defense. With the exclusive authorization of Shihan Denivaldo Carvalho, he leads the opening of O-Yoroi Dojo and represents Shinkyokushin in Belo Horizonte.
With more than 12 years of practice, he began his journey in Kyokushin Karate as a teenager in Porto Alegre, in southern Brazil. Along the way he trained in organizations of Sosai Mas Oyama's karate lineage — Kyokushinkai, IKO, Kyokushinkan and, today, Shinkyokushin — always committed to technical refinement and to the spirit of traditional karate.
He also holds a 1st Dan in Hapkido Kuk Sool Kwan, registered with the KHF, and practices Bujinkan Ninjutsu, currently at 5th Kyu. Ongoing study of different disciplines broadens his fluidity, his understanding of movement and the tools he passes on to his students, always with respect, discipline and responsibility.

ORIGIN, LEADERSHIP AND CONTINUITY
A lineage guided
by the search for truth.
From the birth of Kyokushin to the worldwide presence of WKO Shinkyokushinkai, generations of karateka have preserved a tradition of courage, discipline and continuous growth.
01 · THE FOUNDER
Sosai
Mas Oyama
Founder of Kyokushin Karate · 1923–1994
Masutatsu Oyama devoted his life to building a full-contact karate based on rigorous training, practical experience and character development. In 1964 he founded the International Karate Organization Kyokushinkaikan.
The open tournaments organized under his leadership helped make Kyokushin known around the world. His technical and spiritual legacy remains the foundation of Shinkyokushin and of the different organizations that grew from the same root.

02 · WORLD LEADERSHIP
Kenji
Midori
8th Dan · World champion · President of the WKO
Born in 1962 on Amami Oshima, Kenji Midori stood out as a lightweight competitor in top-level tournaments. In 1991 he won the 5th World Open Karate Tournament, defeating much heavier opponents and becoming the first lightweight to win the open world title.
After retiring from competition, he devoted himself to training athletes and to organizational leadership. In 2000 he became head of the organization, which adopted the name Shinkyokushinkai in 2003. Today he leads the WKO and the international growth of full-contact karate.

Dolph Lundgren:
actor, engineer and karateka.
Dolph Lundgren started judo at 16 and soon after found in Kyokushin the martial path that would stay with him for life. In 1979, still a green belt, he entered the 2nd World Open Tournament in Tokyo and faced Makoto Nakamura, who went on to win that edition.
He won the British Open heavyweight title in 1980 and 1981, as well as the Australian Open in both the individual and team events. Even after moving into film, he kept his bond with karate. In 1998 he returned to his dojo in Stockholm for his 3rd Dan grading, which included kumite against 20 opponents.
