If you are new to kyokushin, I would go against the home training and recommend that you actually go to a kyokushin based dojo and train there even if it is only an 2x1hour/week. There's a lot a beginner can learn through simple observation in terms of proper movement, technique, strategy, training methods, building up social network, etc.

Even if you learned home training routines here and practice it everyday, theres not much benefit if the forms aren't correct (that is assuming you aren't too familiar with forms of certain movements).

My dojo had a policy where beginners were not allowed to spar/kumite for the first 3-4 months, so I used to sit and watch and I actually learned a great deal of stuff this way.
