The 3rd round of The 20th All Japan Open was intense and dramatic. Hiroki Kurosawa met Satoshi Yoshioka. With 3 Wazaries in the same fight, one can understand that the fight was more than exciting – and a little unusual. With the knock out expert Kurosawa on the tatami, wazari’s was not a rare thing – but who scored one and who scored two, and took the victory in this fight?
A look back at the 3rd World Cup from 2005, held in June 18th & 19th, Osaka, Japan, 2005. Unfortunately, the video only contains fights from the men’s matches. As usual w want to give you a little more than only the video – so we dived into the archive and found the DRAWS for the tournament also. The results are of course well known – and discussed by fans i many years, but to see the level of the fighters from this tournament – that’s interesting!
The 3rd place play off in the 9th World Championship was a very interesting set up. Both fighters with significant wins during the tournament, both strong profiles winning their top tournament of their region in front. Dimitrov with his EC victory against Eduard Janoashvili in Lithuania, as Nesterenko became the champion of the Russian Open-weight,defeating top fighter Denis Grigoriev the year before.
Ettersom interessen øker og spørsmålene kommer oftere rundt dette, er det nok på tide å informere ift vårt, NKO sitt medlemskap i World Fullcontact Karate Organization. Dette er ikke en nyhet, selv om det muligens blir det for noen. Dette er kort og greit et paraply organisasjon som NKO er automatisk medlem, siden WKO-Shinkyokushin er medlem sentralt. Dette er altså ikke noe som man har etablert i Norge sånn sett, men som automatikk ift det å være medlem i WKO-Shinkyokushin (bildeinfo fra fullcontact karate jp)
Det er slettes ikke lett å holde koken oppe med Karate aktivitet for tiden, og sånn sett ikke annen aktivitet heller. Men NKO har flere gode initiativ fra medlemmer – alt fra trening i mindre skala, testing på landslaget,til internasjonale web arrangement.
