The Nordic Open continues to expand, this edition now even offers Kata! But kumite is probably still the priority for most people. Friday – Kata and Saturday fight! All info further down..
The team behind the tournament have over ten years of history organizing this tournament. Stora Höga Kyokushin Karate, with Niklas Ballay Sensei (Referee ⇓) and his team run things really smoothly organizing this event. Three tatamis with almost no break trough the day, starting with the youngest fighters, all the fights and also the prize ceremony – before it all are being repeated – but now in a higher age category.
