He's not really far off. Kyokushin dudes can tank damage. There is no pad work and there are no gloves. It's one of the more brutal sports similar to Muay Thai.

Train hard fight easy.If you must do karate, do kyokushin
You'll undergo intense amounts of pain. Everytually getting jumped by 7-10 or more people
If you endure, basically next to nothing will phase you
If you don't,
Probably caused by a staph infection and/or somebody not washing their gi(him or the other trainees)

That facility Probably got lax on the sanitation, but some individuals are dirty as hell too unfortunately

I did a lot of kickboxing before Muay Thai but could never find a Savate school near me. I want to do that and Kudo

Yeah Kyokushin is very very hard. Tough style. My brother has a black belt in Isshin-Ryu. Very hard style too.

Isshin-Ryu, I don't know anything about. I actually got a school near me.
I wonder how good it is. No website
I came here to say the bolded. Think of your martial arts journey like school or military. Can a kid legitimately teach/lead and be taken seriously? Achieving your black belt is like graduating high school. It‘s just the beginning, not mastery. A bunch of kids running around with their frayed black belts is a sure sign of a McDojo. I have a black belt in Goju Ryu, and trained for years to achieve it, and on the night of my test, I went through a gauntlet fighting every Purple, Brown, and Blackbelt. I got the Sh!t beat out of me. Hell, even my white belt is full of dirt, grime and blood. When I trained other styles, I‘d wear it with honor, but also as a warning… “I ain’t no regular white belt“.

No lies told
Man when I started in BJJ and Muay Thai and I talked with folks about my background in karate and TKD, the respect level those guys had for me went up 10x. They know you're serious and got skills. And to your point it's also a warning sign that if something goes sideways and they try to get a little too aggressive you can knock them out
Plus they know you're able to be trained and they treat you like a more of a live body when they spar you.

Isshin-Ryu is legit. Most martial arts websites are pretty generic if not non-fancy so not having a website can just mean it's a nice little small recreational club see if they have a Facebook page
