# Tesshin Kyokushin Karate Academy
Tesshin Dojo is an authentic Kyokushin Karate academy located in Acton, London, dedicated to delivering rigorous full-contact martial arts training rooted in the original teachings of founder Sosai Masutatsu Oyama. The academy serves individuals seeking genuine martial excellence rather than casual fitness, attracting serious students prepared to embrace discipline, challenge and personal transformation.
The dojo distinguishes itself through uncompromising adherence to traditional Japanese Budo principles combined with progressive instruction methods. Led by experienced instructors Senpai Pierre Fichelson (2nd Dan) and Senpai Grzegorz Zawada (1st Dan), the academy meticulously covers the complete Kyokushin syllabus—from fundamental breathing and posture through advanced sparring techniques. Training emphasises developing both physical capabilities and mental fortitude, building character alongside combat proficiency.
Tesshin's philosophy extends beyond fighting to encompass a complete way of life, encouraging students to unlock their potential through humility, integrity and courage. The academy cultivates an inclusive community of like-minded practitioners whilst maintaining high standards that filter out uncommitted participants. Classes focus on comprehensive skill development including body control, precision movement, and intense technical training, with discipline and respect woven throughout.
What sets Tesshin apart is its refusal to compromise on authenticity. Rather than offering diluted commercial karate, the academy remains firmly grounded in legitimate Kyokushin traditions whilst helping students achieve measurable personal growth and genuine martial competence.
