This song is a tribute to the legendary karateka and founder of Kyokushin full-contact karate Mr. Masutatsu Oyama (Korea/Japan 1923-1994). Truly the 20th century Miyamoto Musashi. Undoubtly one of the best Martial Arts expert ever, a great and unique fighter. One of a kind, a legend in his lifetime and long after.
Kyokushinkai Wakarimasu was recorded in 1984 in close consultation and association with Mr. Oyama himself. (This clip is non-commercial and free downloadable).

Lyrics:
KYOKUSHINKAI WAKARIMASU
There lived a man in Tokyo, Japan
Oyama-Kancho, the name is like an echo
All through his life he studied martial arts
Became a legend. His style is tough and hard.
KYOKUSHINKAI WAKARIMASU
KARATE FIGHTING, WAKARIMASU
KYOKUSHINKAI WAKARIMASU
KYOKUSHINKAI.
Karate fighting like no one saw before
Ten million students and lots more at the door
Kyokushinkai show me the way
Full-contact fighters are really proud to say:
KYOKUSHINKAI WAKARIMASU
KARATE FIGHTING, WAKARIMASU
UCHI DESHI, WAKARIMASU
BUSHIDO, WAKARIMASU
KYOKUSHINKAI WAKARIMASU.
