The 11th Kokoro Cup – Fighters!
Kokoro Cup 2018 will set a worthwhile sentence on an extremely strong 2018, where a number of significant tournaments have been held. We are still hearing the echo of Open-weight EC in Hungary, and with some of the main players from this EC – who meet Japanese fighters in Poland this upcoming weekend – as said, this will be the last Kaboom for this year!!
A national contest between Japan and Poland, with five fights lined up. A little different set up as we are used to see in the Kokoro Cup – no not less interesting!
The event will be streamed LIVE!
Valeri Dimitrov seminar 2019!
No introduction needed, Valeri Dimitrov Sensei are filing up the calendar for next year – and so should you!
This Internationale seminar will be held 21st to 23rd of June, 2019. Non can afford to miss the opportunity to train and learn from the absolute best fighter, more current than ever, in light of his incredible strong achievement in the Shinkyokushin European Championship Open-weight now in November, where he outmaneuvered Europe’s top fighters.
21st – 23rd of June, 2019, France.
Ready for the 12th World Championship 2019!
European Open-weight championship that was recently held worked as a qualify tournament for women into the next year World Championship – The 12th World Championship. To represent the European Region in the World Tournament indicates clearly that you are a very skilled fighter. To have a qualifying procedure – that alone sets a certain standard to the tournament! Of course everyone wants to fight, but one should be proud of the high level this create. All have seen it, championships at EC and WT level where fighters can reach the podium with no fights. This undermines the quality we all want on an EC / WT champion or medalist. A look at the 8 fighters that are ready..
Russia WKO – 2019 World Championship Fighters ready!
The championship of Russia among men, women, veterans of kumite and kata 1-2 December 2018, this was the second and final step in the progress of qualify to next year Championship, The 12th World Championship 2019 i Japan. First step was trough the Championship (Open-weight), and now the Championship in weight categories.
EC Open-weight – strongest ever?
One or so week after the European Championship, and we are still amazed by the level and the dedications by all part into the tournament. Numbers of athletes and nations are high, the quality of the fighting or the Kata are without top level. Specially the level of fight, that have been measured up against world athletes from all over the world and across organizations.That this was going to be a very strong EC, there was no doubt, and it was seen early in the process. The number of athletes and not least who was in the line up made this clear.

NKO med gode erfaringer i EM 2018
Et solid EM ble avholdt i helgen og NKO skaffet seg gode erfaringer. Som alltid er det Øst-blokk landene som dominerer, og det er land som Bulgaria, Polen og Litauen som tar pallen. Og apropo Litauen så fikk man et aldri så lite forhold til dem – eller rettere sagt 3 av dem. Nivået var skyhøyt, og som kjent så befinner Shinkyokushin sine utøvere i den absolutte verdenstoppen, og det på kryss av organisasjoner.
Åpenvekt EM skiller seg ut når det kommet til den taktiske delen, og det vil si i fothold til å fighte inn i mot en vekt avgjørelse. Tydelig å se denne gang var også hvordan top 8 var meget bevisste på energiforbruk i innledende runder, og gjorde akkurat det de måtte for å avansere.
