DIAMONDCUP 2018 – Arenahal Antwerp – Saturday February 24th.
This will be the 7th edition of the Diamond Cup if we remember right. The tournament has been variable from year to year, but always held good standard and high level of fighting.
Besides from European countries Russia, Kazakhstan and even Japan have fighters in the line up previous years..
French Open has been one of the tournaments that we have been waiting for this spring. But we have to wait one more year almost – to 24th March 2018! We know that the schedule really has been fully booked this spring/early summer, but we do not know if that is the reason why the 10th French Open are moved from 2017 to 2018. But we will shorten down the time with some videos from previous tournaments..

The tournament had a wide set of categories, across children, youths and adults. In some of the categories with fewer fighters, the pool system was used, a very good alternative for the fighters that of course want to fight so much as possible!
This years All Japan Open, The 4th All Japan Open weight categories – Japan Full-Contact Karate Organisation – JFKO was held in May. With some of the Shinkyokushin profiles aimed for the 6th Word Championship, and with stronger impact from other full contact organizations – the results changed Significantly from previous years, and for many several new profiles stood up with great skills and spirit!

The IFK 5th World Championship are history, the medals and trophies are handed out, many memorable moments, hard fights and impressions. Romania was a good host, attracting more athletes than at the last occasion in 2013, when the tournament was held in the UK. Romania also helped lift the number of athletes significantly, along with countries like Ukraine and Hungary, etc. Russia was as expected dominant,although a few of the fight/ final gave a bad taste and became anti-climax.
The first day gave us as usually many impressions, and we all know that the second day will be even more exciting. Favorites does as expected, and to the second day everything goes as “planed”, with more or less the expected names in the line up. The level has been significant wide in many of the fights, and together with some “no show” – the day one could be quite different from one fighter to another. Some has pointed out that the British Open 2016 had a higher level in total…well if you reach the top 8 today, you will for sure be a fighter we all want to learn from!
