Kunihiro Suzuki – one of the icons in Kyokushin Full-Contact Karate World. A true fighter in a depth than the most of us only can dream of.

23-25th NOVEMBER 2018. – ICE PALACE – BUDAPEST- HUNGARY
The 1st International Fullcontact Karate Championship, Full contact karate – as it is supposed to be! Ahead of the tournament one could imagine – or hope that the tournament would be an extension from the JFKO All Japan Open, and all ready at that point it would be a very good start. But as we now know, the tournament became a highlight and a display of how the Full Contact Karate are different – but the same..
The European Championship Shinkyokushinkai 2018 are history, winners are crowned and memories are captured. Poland guided safely all trough the event, and ensured all that the World Championship in Weight Categories will be taken care of – if someone ever doubted! Shin-EC 2018 made a very strong statement adding more categories and not only keeping the level of fighting but even raise it as well. Transition from U-22 into the seniors are well proven, the weighing of champions and merited fighters from all across Europe are well pointed out. – and yes, Dimitrov is back!
The 1st International Fullcontact Karate Championship will soon be held. Everybody that are into Full Contact Karate knows that this will be the grates event that have been held in recent times. The gathering of Full Contact fighter from different styles/organizations have really been a success – and as all can see the categories are filled with a huge number of fighters – and not to forget all the profiles from different backgrounds..
