All with the great knowledge of karate, not to mention they have lived with our founder and continues his message and values. Without this knowledge and these people who continue it, would Kyokushin Karate lost much of its origins.
One week after the 11th Shinkyokushinkai World Tournament, and we slowly starts to take in all the impressions that we got during one of the largest full contact events one can attend. The tournament as also known to be the last for some of the greatest profiles we have, and in a another direction we also got prominent guest and fighters from the KWU and JFKO.

Så var fire år gått, og det var altså klart for et nytt VM i Japan, Tokyo. Denne fire års syklusen følger den syklus fra når det ble avhold VM for første gang under Sosai Oyama sin tid. At det er fire år i mellom, ala OL gjør også at status for dette VM ligger skyhøyt, noe som er et poeng siden det nå er VM på “hvert et gatehjørne” Norges deltagelse var i år på to mann, og det har blitt jobbet administrativt for å få denne ene tilleggsplassen – mot vår faste ene plass. Det er også slik at her kan man ikke “bli med om man har lyst” her er det lange prossedyrer i forkant om å få med deltagere. Tor Andrè Kvinge /Bergen kk og Kristian Søyland / Egersund var de to som skulle delta for Norge. Og med Russland og Ukraina i møte så..

Sverige har de siste år betydd meget for Norge de siste år innen utvikling av Kyokushin Karate. Ikke bare har man kunne nyte godt av å få høyprofilerte instruktører til sommerleire og andre samlinger, man har også fått flere gode utvekslinger på tvers av landene på generelt nivå.

Soon the 11th World Championship will be held in Japan – and what can we expect? -or should we expect? Athletes are doing their last preparations, and they deal with a almost inhuman pressure every day towards the championship. And not to mention when the day has come,at the World Championship. And when it comes to those of the fighters that are “most wanted” that we take for given will win this or that… But we have believe it or not, maybe the best results that have been predicted..
