Our History

Our journey began in 1971 when founder Richard Romero started studying Kyokushinkai-kan Karate under the guidance of renowned master Shigeru Oyama in Hartsdale, New York. He received his black belt from Kyokushin founder Masutatsu Oyama on November 24, 1974. Romero was a point system champion in the 1970s and a knock-down champion in the 1980s.
