This fall several World Championship will be held. One of them The 2nd Kyokushin World Union World Championship, 3-4 October, Russia. The first World Championship was held two years ago in Bulgari. This is a tournament with weight categories,and the competitions will be held in 9 weight categories among men and 5 weight categories among women. Last time the Russian dominance was complete, as expected and its drawn in the same direction this time. (results 2013) WKO / Shinkyokushin Japan are supporting the tournament, lets take a look at those fighters!
The Royama/IFK based KWU are promoting heavily “It`s time to be united” no doubt about that, but a question could be asked why the tournament are held close to some of the biggest regular World Tournaments in the world.
23 and 24th of May, will the 2nd addition of the Japan Fullcontact Karate Organization JFKO been held. The first edition was a huge success, bringing together some of the best Fullcontact fighters of Japan. This years tournament will not stand back for last years tournament, the number of fighters and the record they have are at the highest level we can find.
This year European Championship was without a doubt a great success. And in several ways did this EC manage to be good. The part of organizing was good, information, arena LIVE stream and all the work we not see at the day of the tournament. This year’s participation was also very good. Variety and number of countries / practitioners have rarely been better. Many struggle with the number of poor divisions, while WKO seems to increase. This also increases the standards of those participating in the tournament.
