Shortly after founding NIKO, Kancho Ashihara started to plan the publishing of a series of books on the Ashihara system. In this organisation Kancho could continue to develop his own Karate, Ashihara Karate. It was with this background that Kancho Hideyuki Ashihara created New International Karate Organisation in September 1980. It turned out that this was not enough, and Kancho was expelled from Kyokushinkai shortly thereafter, following urge by competing instructors. Kancho announced that he was willing to give up leadership for the clubs, he had developed to concentrate on running his club in Matsuyama. To avoid conflict within Kyokushinkai, Kancho Ashihara choose to resign from actively practising Karate at an official meeting in Tokyo in March 1978. Kancho was still associated with the Kyokushinkai organisation, but instructors in neighbouring districts were complaining about Kancho's expansion of clubs. In 1979 the building was completed, and since 1980 it is the Honbu Dojo for NIKO -Ashihara Kaikan. In March 1978 the construction of the Dojo in Matsuyama commenced and Kancho moved there at the end of the year. Clubs were developed in Hiroshima, Osaka, Kyoto, Kobe, Nara, Shiga and other places.
Kancho started to instruct the police force, and universities started clubs in the area. Kancho Ashihara continued to the city Matsuyama, and Ashihara Karate quickly became popular there as well.
The third point is the stance, which must always be maintained whatever the situation to give maximum mobility. The importance of timing and evaluation of distance (maai) became the second point.
Preparation, and the use of the four positions represented by the circular symbol of Ashihara Karate became the first point. Three principal points for Ashihara Karate was formed. It was during this period that the concept of Sabaki was developed by Kancho. He quickly founded one of the biggest Kyokushinkai clubs in Japan, and the activities were extended to two additional cities, Uwa and Uwajima. Nomura soon became too small, and Kancho Ashihara moved to the neighbouring city Yawatahama. This was granted, andnow Kancho's reputation as a fighter and instructor started to spread in that part of Japan. He wanted to return to Nomura and continue the work, he had started there. After two months suspension he was pardoned and sent to Nomura on the island Shikoku in southern Japan.Īfter three months he was called back to Tokyo and received a new chance to travel to Brazil. The police brought him into questioning, and the whole incident was reported to the Kyokushinkai Honbu Dojo. Kancho got into a fight and defeated five persons, who attacked him in the street. He performed well, and it was decided that Kancho would have the honour of travelling to Brazil to instruct and spread Kyokushinkai Karate, something he had dreamed of for years. In 1966 Kancho was made instructor in Kyokushinkai Karate at the Honbu Dojo. He was then only 19 years old, and no one at the dojo could defeat him in kumite. His stubbornness and perseverance finally made it possible for him to grade to Shodan on March 26th 1964. Kancho trained intensely and participated in every possible training session. The club was Oyama Dojo, later the Kyokushinkai Honbu Dojo. He saw karate practitioners train and spar hard and realistically, something he liked immediately. In September 1961 the young man first entered a karate club. This was his working place for six years. In 1960, when Kancho was 15 years old, he moved to Tokyo and started working at a petrol station. He first came into contact with Budo when he started training Kendo at the age of 10 to get an outlet for his energy. As a boy he was a restless soul and often got into fights. Kancho grew up with his grandparents in a small village called Nomicho. Kancho Ashihara was born on December 5th 1944 outside Hiroshima.
