Guidelines and info..
In 2015, last time the EC was held in Poland, the line up had 150 senior fighters. Now the Shinkyokushin EC have expanded even more, After good growth it has become natural to add more categories, and with that the number of performers has also increased. And keeping it to the European region makes it makes it easy to measure when it comes to growth. The Eastern Europe countries has always been strong, but also others are making significant progress..
INTERNATIONAL REGISTRATION: kyokushin.open.norway@gmail.com The categories are starting to shape up nicely, and one can expect some last minutes registration – as always! Lithuania, France, Italy, Sweden and of course Norway are ready! Norway filling in their Norwegian champions to test their skills against highly respected international fighters who participate in the tournament!
The goal of the tournament is to spread, and lift the Fullcontact karate in Norway, in that focus all participation is highly appreciated.
As we promised the women’s division are ready! And one must say that this time we got some real great videos. Some of them “old news”, some real classics, and some that could be a first time watch for some of you. But we have tried do mix it up a little bit, so we do have some from across the World. ladies..you`r up next!
Next weekend the annual Danish fight camp will be organized, and all know this camp are only getting bigger, better and more interesting (if that`s possible) At the regular basis, Danish and Swedish fighters has been weight of the camp, but slow and surely other nation joined in. We all know that it is many camps “like this” around, but this is a camp “you have to fell to believe”
This years extra, is that many high profiled fighters are joining in, and we speak about some of the best there is. The Danish union, with the man responsible for this, Mathias Halberg, many years top fighter know exactly how the the winning recipe must be! This is not any “selfie-camp” you train,develop and earn from a winning karate environment!
During the holidays it might happens that we got some spear time, and what could be better than some old but good fights?! As usual we are not looking for the best knock outs when we choose videos.
It might happen of course, but a really good fight do not necessarily have to end up with one of the fighter laying on the floor… but it could happen! That`s one of the Joker that makes it interesting..
