Specially the level of fight, that have been measured up against world athletes from all over the world and across organizations.That this was going to be a very strong EC, there was no doubt, and it was seen early in the process. The number of athletes and not least who was in the line up made this clear.

NKO med gode erfaringer i EM 2018
Et solid EM ble avholdt i helgen og NKO skaffet seg gode erfaringer. Som alltid er det Øst-blokk landene som dominerer, og det er land som Bulgaria, Polen og Litauen som tar pallen. Og apropo Litauen så fikk man et aldri så lite forhold til dem – eller rettere sagt 3 av dem. Nivået var skyhøyt, og som kjent så befinner Shinkyokushin sine utøvere i den absolutte verdenstoppen, og det på kryss av organisasjoner.
Åpenvekt EM skiller seg ut når det kommet til den taktiske delen, og det vil si i fothold til å fighte inn i mot en vekt avgjørelse. Tydelig å se denne gang var også hvordan top 8 var meget bevisste på energiforbruk i innledende runder, og gjorde akkurat det de måtte for å avansere.

NKO i EM Open-weight 2018
Denne helgen avholes en av de virkelig tyngre turneringene i Europa – Shinkyokushin Open-Weight European Championship. Nivået er skyhøyt, og i årets line up er det pakket med fighters som har tatt titler i alt av organisasjoner og turneringer. Og NKO er mist oppe det hele! Tidsplan LIVE og trekning foreligger..Dette EM er altså åpen vekt for seniorer, samtidig egne klasser for U-21,U-16. Med disse tre klassene er det alikevel over 420 utøvere fordelt på 25 land. Dette gjør sitt til at det er av betydelig størrelse. Antall utøvere er ofte ikke noe målestokk ift størrelse, ettersom det har blitt mer og mer vanlig rundt om, å fylle på med barn helt ned i 8-10 års alderen. Det er det heldigvis ikke behov for i dette tilfelle.
