The European Karate Championship Shinkyokushin for U-categories will be held in Romania, Oradea 13 & 14 November (Which in practice means 11-15) Kumite and Kata are on the menu, divided in age categories from U-21 (Youth) , U-18 (Juniors) and U-16 (Cadets) Lately we have seen that the top fighters in U-21 contain such high level, that they are capable to reach the podium in the EC seniors. This will also be the first edition with U-categories “alone” separated from adults.

If you are a young fighter – or have some young up and coming fighters, the end of registration will end in one week – 12th September. Don’t miss this great opportunity to Kick-start the 2021-22 season!
Back in 1991 these two fighters fought each other in a five single match event. Two profiled strong fighters who had similar path in their fighting-life, going trough Karate, into other styles as K-1 and MMA. This fight was held in 1991 – Karate Fullcontact – and a classic battle between strength and technique – top spirit crowning it all.
Lørdag 14. August var det klart for Kick-off i Horten. To økter var satt opp, og dem ble effektivt kjørt i ledelse av Marleen Gregusson. Reg-Øst fikk også besøk av reiseglade utøvere enda lengere unna. Egersund, Arendal, Færder, Horten, Modum, Ringerike og Oslo var representert. Det var klart for kick-off med en rumensk touch!
Two masters of the fight game, and as we know (now) both world champions. This fight from 1996, is probably less known than the fight the year after, when the met in the final of the 1st World Cup (World Championship in weight categories) The fight we got now is the semifinal of the 28th All Japan Open..
Som en av de få, muligens eneste norske – var Marleen Gregusson deltager på sommerleier i 2021. Romania avholdt sin sommerleier helgen 22-25 juli, med stort fremmøte og internasjonal deltagelse såvel som internasjonal intruktør er det ingen tvil om hvorfor dette er en av de ettertraktede leire i Europa. Som hoved instruktør – Juan Carlos Escalera Shihan / Spania.
Slowly but sure, the activity crawl back from the Covid-19 shadow, not everywhere but more enough to use your spare time! Just a quick look – that you probably have the information of all ready -then this can be a reminder 😉
EC in Georgia showed that the future in the women categories looks very bright, good fights yes, but we can also see that the lower level have moved up and are better prepared than ever. Development in women fighting has moved at full speed forward, and as we see it, it is now important that the organizational part keep up. The EC level in Georgia prove a certain high level, so many skilled athletes in action..
The results are well known, the honor and glory are given to all that had something to do with the European Championship Shinkyokushin 2021. What we saw was an organization that was willing to sacrifice a lot. Much more could been written about this. We will also send a greeting to those who could not come, due to Covid-19 restrictions.
Mot alle odds, stilte NKO med utøvere i Georgia under årets EM. Veien til mesterskapet har mildt sagt vært kronglete, og det var ikke lettere når det kom til oppkjøring og trening i forkant heller. Therese Østebrød og Marleen Gregusson stilte uten norskt apparat til start under et sterkt presset – fremskyndet EM.
