In the United States, Karate was founded in 1955 by Tsutomu Ohshima, who founded the Southern Karate Association (SCKA) in 1959. Later, this association extends to the entire country, becoming a national association, Shotokan karate in the USA. Ohshima was one of Master Funakoshi's last students, training between 1948 and 1953 while graduating from Waseda University in Tokyo.
From then on, other Japanese masters followed in his footsteps. Among them Maung Gyi, son of Ba Than Gyi who at 24 years of age officially starts in 1960, teaching flock, the most popular martial art burma in the West. Maung Gyi taught nine techniques inspired by the behavior of wild animals, beginning with the most basic principles. From that time, Burmese karate, boxing and boxing professionals, by the hand of Maung Gyi, begin to organize fights on the rug and in the ring, giving birth to Japanese kickboxing.
In the 70's, numerous karate, taekwondo and kung fu practitioners, dissatisfied with the limitations of the rules practiced in these disciplines, created a new style of fighting that they initially called karate full contact. They protected themselves with equipment they found sufficient and created an art of combat that allowed blows to the face and legs, hitherto forbidden among karate. In a first phase some requirements were satisfied, but the rules continued to block the development of the game. The referee was forced to stop after the first blow in the opponent, not allowing to attack in response, the vulgar counterattack, causing the emotion of the game to be lost.
