Shinkyokushin VM – norske øyne!

2015_VM_TorSå 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..

The tournament was promoted with a bigger hype than before, and with a glorified setting that all parts should be united.
