Kazuyoshi Ishii (born in 1953) is the master of Seidokan Karate and the founder of K-1.
When he was 16, he started to learn Kyokushin karate from Hideyuki Ashihara, who was a well-known legendary Karate master.
Black Belt Magazine honored Ishii as "Man of the Year" in January 2003.
What he says in his Karate theory is, in short,
1. Aim at the opponent's liver, which is very effective to knock him down.
2. In order to strike the liver, and also the other vulnerable points like chin or temple, keep the opponent's consciousness away from the point before striking.
3. In order to keep the opponent's consciousness away, use diagonal combination. That is, to hit both ends of a diagonal.
4. When you hit preliminaries, you don't need strong hits as to knock him down, but painful ones.
