Shihan Lino Gambuto

Shihan Lino Gambuto has always surrounded himself with qualified instructors while pursuing the Budo way. For him, patience and passion are essential to teaching and imparting the philosophies of Kyokushin Karate. Training the highest level of instructors, the heart and soul of a dojo, is the only way to ensure continuity in pursuit of the Budo way.

Every student who has trained in karate with Shihan Lino affirms that he’s a passionate martial arts master who will always encourage them to persevere and surpass themselves with great energy.

To succeed, one must have determination, and for Shihan Lino, Kyokushin Karate is the way to attain that goal.

Only through training will a person learn his own weaknesses… He who is aware of his weaknesses will remain master of himself in any situation.

Gichin Funakoshi

Although it is important to study and train for skill in techniques, for the man who wishes to truly accomplish the way of budo, it is important to make his whole life in training and therefore not aiming for skill and strength alone, but also for spiritual attainment.

Masutatsu Oyama

Karate strives internally to train the mind to develop a clear conscience, enabling one to face the world honestly, while externally developing strength. Mind and technique become one in true karate.
