And the point is to pick fight from around the world and tournaments, mostly the biggest one.
LIVE Kokoro Cup 10, 2017
Going the distance – that`s a highlight!
We brought together some videos of various fights that we like to watch. We can already tell you that there will be no knock out`s – maybe a waza-ari or two, but no K.O. To be frank we get a little bit tired from time to time of all the “best of” collections with half the time of the videos we actually are looking on unconscious people. We choose to set this a bit on the edge, of course, but the point is, there’s so much more in a very good and hard fight than “just” decision on who will win the fight.

World Weight finals 2001-2017
With the 6th World Championship Weight categories (former known as the World Cup) still in mind, and as the official videos released now as we speak – we would like to take a look at the previous editions. And for this occasion we have dug up finals from the 2nd edition and up to now. Initially we have mainly picked up the heavyweight class,except from 2001, Hungary where all the finals for the men are included. Plus Midori Kenji Shihan and Howard Collins Shihan have both demonstrations with kata and breaking.
Beyond the victory?
In competition – or after it, we always get the question how did it go. The answer we give will the most of the time be based on the results regarding to what place we ended at. And this without thinking of that we maybe fought our best fight against the winner of the tournament for an example. Is it so that it is just a romantic cliché: “The most important thing is not to win, but to participate”
