In early days of the dojo, Oyama would not take the duty of teaching newer students. Over the next ten years, Oyama built his organization and demonstrated his karate around the world to spread it.Īround 1956, Oyama would rename his school the "Oyama Dojo". This was unlike the other schools of Karate at the time. His instruction was distinguished by goals improving the strength in the actual battle by performing a kumite that directly hits the opponent's body with a thrust or kick. Subsequently, Oyama's Karate theory would deviate from Goju-ryu and would form into his own style. Initially, Masutatsu Oyama had opened his first official dōjō - the Oyama Dojo - on 1953, in a small building behind Rikkyo University to teach Goju-ryu style of traditional Karate.
