This fall several World Championship will be held. One of them The 2nd Kyokushin World Union World Championship, 3-4 October, Russia. The first World Championship was held two years ago in Bulgari. This is a tournament with weight categories,and the competitions will be held in 9 weight categories among men and 5 weight categories among women. Last time the Russian dominance was complete, as expected and its drawn in the same direction this time. (results 2013) WKO / Shinkyokushin Japan are supporting the tournament, lets take a look at those fighters!
The Royama/IFK based KWU are promoting heavily “It`s time to be united” no doubt about that, but a question could be asked why the tournament are held close to some of the biggest regular World Tournaments in the world.
Russia, Kazakhstan and Lithuania made this years tournament a top level tournament.Swiss Open has a strong tradition in being a good tournament with top level and many fighters. Top level whit out a doubt! – but few fighters made it change the weight categories to only two in the men division and one in the women.
