NKO hadde et solid lag på plass under året Stora Höga Open, som avholdes i Sverige hvert år. Turneringen er midt i blinken for nivå og utbytte med tanke på det man trenger i Norge. Med rett i underkant av 200 påmelde utøvere, og med et kampsystem som kombinerer cup og pool, er utbytte mildt sagt stort! De norske utøverene gikk 3 og fire kamper hver(!) Gg i tillegg til dette vanket det også forlengelser i kampene. Dvs at her fikk man mer kamptid på en dag, enn hva man gjør på et år i Norge. Stevnet er ypperlig som et ungdom/rekrutt stevne, men her tilbud for senior også, både i semi og fullkontakt. Bilder fra Færder web Continue reading
The focus is Kata!
Now and then we feel that the time should be dedicated to Kata. Kumite will on regular basis get the most attention, but the Kata part heave it`s natural place as well. There is no doubt about the huge effort and hard work to reach technical level one have to possess entering the tatemi for a Kata competition. And you can`t change the form, and develop a new style to impress the world, you must stick to the pattern, and deliver the inheritance of Karate!
