Etter mye om og men var det endelig klart for en treningsleir i Fana KK med besøk fra Ringerike KK. FKK og RKK har fått en sterk relasjon med at unge utøvere fra vest har end opp på øst landet ift utdanning – og dermed koblet opp med RKK. Målet var å få til en samling i Fana, men begge parter har en særdeles tettpakket terminliste, så det var lettere sagt enn gjort, men 14-15. November var det klart for samling!!
Solid prestasjon fra NKO på Etne under årets turnering! En av de beste klubbene totalt var tradisjonsrike Bergen Karateklubb. Men også Egersund og Finnes var godt representert, både på startlisten og medalje statistikken!

We are used to that the EC tournaments are dominated by the countries from Eastern Europe, and this tournament was no different. But it is clear that several non East European countries do not longer want to compete against the top level, and this made the tournament even harder.

Valeri Dimitrov Sensei fought his way to victory in the open weight class European Championship. The draw almost reminded of Lithuania Open, where Dimitrov had to fight one after another of the strong local fighters. The tournament was the top level, and the matches went close with little time to rest in between. An incredibly strong tournament and the strongest of them all today – Valeri Dimitrov Sensei! We congratulate!
