Masutatsu Ōyama
Yoshikazu Matsushima, born on April 23, 1947, began his karate training at the Ikebukuro dojo in Tokyo, Japan, in 1965 under the guidance of Sosai Oyama.
Throughout his career, he has taught karate internationally and made numerous appearances in magazines, television shows, and movies to promote Kyokushinkai karate. He was even featured in Sosai’s book “Advanced Karate.” In 1989, he received a special award from Sosai Oyama in recognition of his efforts in promoting Kyokushin Karate.
As one of the earliest appointed Branch Chiefs, Kancho Matsushima has dedicated over 45 years to training, teaching, and advancing Kyokushin karate. His commitment to preserving and positively growing Sosai’s karate remains unwavering.
In November 1998, Yoshikazu Matsushima was elected President of the International Karate Organization Matsushima Group. Kancho continues to travel globally, sharing his extensive knowledge and expertise in the Kyokushin style of karate.
Sensei Somnath Chanda began his karate journey in 1980 under the guidance of Hanshi Shivaji Ganguly. In 1981, he joined Kancho Dadi Bulsara for practice in Park Circus, continuing his training with Hanshi Shivaji Ganguly during this period. Sensei Somnath Chanda remained dedicated to his training with Hanshi Shivaji Ganguly until 2013, after which he branched out to establish a new foundation known as the Bengal Kyoukushin Karate Association (BKKA).
Throughout his career, Sensei Somnath Chanda was influenced by notable international figures. In 1996, he attended a Summer Camp with the Switzerland Branch Chief in Zurich, Switzerland. In 1999, he served as the India team manager in Tokyo, Japan, and held the position of Chief Referee in Sri Lanka. That same year, he conducted a training camp in Thailand.
Sensei Somnath Chanda has made significant contributions to karate in India. He served as a referee in the WAMA Cup during the years 1986, 1988, and 1991. His dedication to martial arts is evident in his progression through the ranks: achieving the rank of Sodan in 1991, Nidan in 1994, Sandan in 2006, and Yon Dan in 2023.
