Who will challenge the Vikings of the North in 2024!? Nordic Open is an International Kyokushin tournament. It is open to all Kyokushin groups and organisations which would like to participate and test their skills under the Nordic Open Tournament.

The Nordic Open continues to expand, this edition now even offers Kata! But kumite is probably still the priority for most people. Friday – Kata and Saturday fight! All info further down..

The team behind the tournament have over ten years of history organizing this tournament. Stora Höga Kyokushin Karate, with Niklas Ballay Sensei (Referee ⇓)  and his team run things really smoothly organizing this event. Three tatamis with almost no break trough the day, starting with the youngest fighters, all the fights and also the prize ceremony – before it all are being repeated – but now in a higher age category.

More and more fighters find their way to this tournament, neighboring countries such as Denmark and Norway have increased their support considerably. When this happens, you know things are being done right! This year, will more countries come to challenge the Vikings from the north?!
