I happened to walk by this gym during my time as an exchange student at Kansai Gaidai University in 2013. I believe I was helping out at a soup kitchen in nearby Nishinari Ward that day.

Pro-Karatedo Federation New Japan Kickboxing Federation Rishinjuku Gym in Hirakata-shi, Osaka. This dojo focuses on K-1 style Kickboxing and some Knockdown Karate. It is located just across the street from Gotenyama Station on the Keihan Line. It is about a 12 minute walk from Kansai Gaidai’s Gotenyama Campus and a 20 minute walk from the Nakamiya Campus, where I studied abroad for 6 months in 2013.

They also organized the Tatsujin Pro-Karatedo event which I attended in September of 2015 while living in Japan. It was basically a bare knuckle kickboxing/MMA event and it certainly had some characters fighting.

A K-1 style Kickboxing and Muay Thai gym near Kansai Gaidai University’s Nakamiya Campus in Hirakata City, Osaka. This is an offshoot of the bare knuckle Karate style of Rishinjuku. The gym was not there when I was a student at Kansai Gaidai in 2013 ( I think it was a real estate agent or bank at that time), but I probably would’ve checked it out if it was.

Address/住所：561-0864 Osaka, Toyonaka, Yuhigaoka, 1 Chome−2−12

Website/ホームページ: tenshidojo.jp (Japanese Only)

Notes/コメント：

Tenshi Dojo is an independent full contact karate style that teaches adults and children.

In late March 2015, I attended a martial arts seminar taught by Dr. F ( Futaesaku Takuya), a Karate practitioner and Sports Science doctor. It was held in Toyonaka’s Municipal Budokan and the first two hours were lessons in technique and body mechanics, while the last hour or so was for sparring. Former UFC fighter, Kunimoto Kiichi, was a special instructor. I was one of three non-Japanese attendees and the only one that spoke decent enough Japanese to translate the lessons to the others. There were people from many different styles of full contact karate, some kickboxers, and some MMA guys. It was a very cool afternoon. The Takenaka family who run the Tenshi Dojo were the sponsors of the event and I got know Takenaka Sensei and his children fairly well that day.

Notes/コメント：

Byakuren is another style of full contact karate with roots in Shorinji Kenpo. They regularly host their own regional and national tournaments and their fighters compete in larger inter-organizational tournaments in Japan.

Fun fact: The organization also runs the Lotus Club martial arts supply store on the ground floor. There’s not much to look at in the store itself, but they supply a lot of the independent dojo and smaller full contact Karate organizations in Japan with mats and kicking shields.

Notes/コメント：Karate Do Takao Dojo in Kadoma, Osaka. Takao Shihan was a former branch chief for Eastern Osaka in the IKO-1 and then broke away to form his own organization. When I arrived in Japan to study at Kansai Gaidai in January 2013, he was either in the process of resigning or had just resigned from the IKO. I remember there being some awkwardness (aside from my poor Japanese skills) when I signed up at a sub-branch dojo in Hirakata-shi, as my letter of introduction was from my Shihan in New York who is a very high ranking official in the IKO. This picture is from 2013 and I am sure the sign has changed to reflect the new organization since then.
