Capital Martial Arts

Class tonight from 5 to 6
Don't forget to get those entry forms in will be a incredible weekend

We have just received a new collection of Natural Urushi Lacquer Brooches.
Urushi is made from the refined sap of the lacquer tree and traditionally applied to wooden pieces. Once cured, it becomes remarkably strong and durable, developing a beautiful, deep lustre that can last for many years.
These brooches are made using traditional urushi techniques, but with a modern and playful approach to design.
Lightweight and understated, they have the unique warmth and feel that only natural urushi can offer — each one is a lovely little piece of craftsmanship✨

What Does OSU Really Mean?

In Kyokushin Karate, OSU is far more than a word. It's the spirit that guides how we train, how we treat others, and how we face challenges both inside and outside the dojo.

Every greeting is an OSU.
Every response to an instructor is an OSU.
Every challenge met in training is answered with an OSU.

Even after receiving a strong technique from a training partner or opponent, a karateka responds with OSU as a sign of respect, humility, and recognition of their opponent's skill.

At its core, OSU represents perseverance under pressure. It reminds us to keep going when training gets tough, to stay disciplined when progress is slow, and to remain humble no matter how much we achieve.

When we bow and say OSU as we enter the dojo, we show respect for: 🥋 Our instructors
🥋 Our fellow students
🥋 The dojo itself
🥋 The traditions of Kyokushin passed down through generations

More importantly, we make a commitment to ourselves to keep learning, keep improving, and never give up.

OSU is respect.
OSU is discipline.
OSU is perseverance.
OSU is humility.
OSU is the spirit of a true karateka.

As Sosai Masutatsu Oyama taught, true strength comes not only from a powerful body, but from strong character.

OSU isn't just something we say. It's something we live.
What does OSU mean to you? Tell us in the comments. 🥋👊
OSU! 👊🥋
