Train with a World Champion: Exclusive Fighting Session with Australia’s Kyokushin Representative
Friday, September 26th - An extraordinary opportunity awaits at Brighton Kyokushin Karate. We’re honored to host Senpai David Taylor from Kangaroo Island Kyokushin Karate (KIKK) for an exclusive intensive training session that will push your martial arts journey to new heights.
Senpai Taylor has achieved what every Kyokushin practitioner dreams of - selection to represent Australia in the 6th Kyokushin World Tournament in Japan. This isn’t just another class; it’s your chance to train alongside and learn from someone who embodies the highest levels of full contact karate excellence.
What Makes This Training Session Extraordinary
This won’t be a gentle introduction to martial arts. Senpai Taylor brings the same intensity and focus that earned him his place on the world stage. This special session is designed as a quick, intense, and focused fighting session that will take you to that crucial point where conventional strength fails - because that’s precisely where real martial arts mental toughness begins.
As Senpai Ruben puts it: “We’ll take you to the point where you can’t kick and punch anymore. That point is when the training really starts, and what makes you a stronger and better fighter.”
This philosophy perfectly embodies the karate spiritual journey that transforms ordinary individuals into extraordinary martial artists. When your body says “I can’t,” your spirit learns to say “I will.”
An Elite Training Experience
We’re creating something truly special by bringing together dedicated fighters from multiple dojos. In addition to our Brighton Kyokushin Karate students, we’re inviting tournament fighters and serious karatekas from Mawson Lakes Kyokushin Karate, creating an atmosphere of intensity and mutual growth that mirrors the environment of international competition.
This collaborative approach ensures that every participant will be challenged by different fighting styles, techniques, and approaches - exactly the kind of diverse training that produces well-rounded martial artists.
What to Expect: Conditioning, Kumite, and Character Building
The session will focus on three core elements that define elite Kyokushin training:
1. Intensive Conditioning
Building the physical foundation necessary for high-level sparring through traditional conditioning methods that have been proven over decades of Kyokushin excellence.
2. Dynamic Kumite (Sparring)
Full-contact sparring that develops timing, distance, power, and most importantly, the mental fortitude to perform under pressure - the same qualities being honed by World Tournament competitors.
3. Perseverance Training
The mental and spiritual component that separates casual training from transformative martial arts practice. This is where you discover reserves of strength and determination you never knew existed.
Why This Matters for Your Martial Arts Development
Whether you’re currently working toward your next karate belt testing or simply want to experience what martial arts perseverance truly means, this session offers invaluable benefits:
For Advanced Students: Experience the level of training that produces World Tournament representatives. Test your skills against fighters from other dojos and push your abilities to new levels.
For Developing Students: Witness firsthand what dedicated training can achieve. See the techniques, mental approach, and physical conditioning that create elite martial artists.
For Beginners: While this is an advanced session, observing this level of training provides incredible motivation and shows the potential that lies within your own martial arts journey.

- Mental resilience that serves you in all areas of life
- Physical capabilities you didn’t know you possessed
- Respect for training partners who help you grow
