SHIHAN GABY DOJO

Non-Profit • Private • By Application Only

“Karate begins and ends with respect.” — Mas Oyama

Shihan Gaby Dojo is a private, non-profit Kyokushin Karate dojo dedicated to preserving the original spirit of the art. Training is guided by discipline, respect, and responsibility — not by financial interest.

Training is offered free of charge as a privilege. Admission is selective and based on character and commitment.

The Foundations of Training

Training at Shihan Gaby Dojo is founded on three inseparable pillars of Kyokushin.

 

01
Basics

Kihon

Kihon establishes correct stances, posture, breathing, balance, and power. It forms the physical and mental foundation of all Kyokushin technique.

02
Forms

Kata

Kata preserves the knowledge of Kyokushin through structured movement. It develops precision, discipline, focus, and controlled application of technique.

03
Application

Self-Defense

Self-defense teaches responsible application. It emphasizes awareness, control, and protection — never aggression.

None stands alone. True Kyokushin requires all three.

Shihan Gaby Hajjar

Kyokushin Karate — Since 1998

Shihan Gaby began his Kyokushin journey in 1998, committing to the art as a lifelong discipline rather than a sport or business.

All senior Dan gradings were completed internationally in accordance with traditional Kyokushin standards.

He has participated in more than sixteen international training camps and has trained in Japan multiple times to deepen his understanding at the source of Kyokushin.

The dojo exists to transmit Kyokushin honestly, responsibly, and without commercial influence.

TRAIN HARD. REMAIN HUMBLE.
