Thanks for the info

Just a note, while all of the listed instructors are excellent, none of them teach Kyokushin Budokai curriculum. Most of these instructors are affiliated with the IBK because Kancho Bluming has great respect for them on a personal level. There is no one teaching true IBK in the Pacific Northwest. Not sure about the rest of the country.

The IBK approach to "All Round Fighting" as they call it is akin to MMA or Kudo/Daido Juku, while it retains the Kyokushin kata, kihon, traditional courtesies, and sempai/kohei relationship. I am a very big admirer of the IBK and Kancho Bluming.

Kancho Bluming is a great man, I have met him many times in Holland via the Rings Fighting Network.
