Med rundt 80 deltagere på årets Kyokushin Challenge i Bergen er det bare å fastslå at det var en knall suksess! Bergens område var godt representert og det både i antall og bredde. Det var også et solid instruktør panel, og det var ingen tilfeldighet. Dette ble oppjustert opp i mot selve samlingen ettersom påmeldingene strømmet på.

Hungary is very well represented, as is natural for a host country. Since the tournament has focused on a strong international participation, one gets a line up that is very interesting.

Fun to see that Alexey Leonov from Kazakhstan makes a come back. See full draw..!
