The style of martial arts known as Byakuren Kaikan was established by the Japanese martial artist Yasuhiro Konishi. Multiple forms of martial arts were under Konishi's mastery, including judo and karate.

Byakuren Kaikan is renowned for its emphasis on the development of both physical and mental discipline, practical self-defense techniques, and efficient movement. The style integrates components derived from an assortment of martial arts disciplines, encompassing grappling, striking, kicking, joint locks, and throws.

The objective of Byakuren Kaikan practitioners is to cultivate agility, strength, power, and coordination via strenuous training. Byakuren Kaikan emphasizes self-improvement, ethical application of martial arts techniques, and regard for others.

This style of traditional martial arts, like many others, emphasizes virtues including humility, perseverance, and discipline. Although Byakuren Kaikan is not as widespread in practice as karate or judo, it continues to be taught in numerous dojos and martial arts institutions around the world and has a devoted fan base.
