Training camps like this will help the fighters when they leave to Japan for the tournament. Another climate, long away from home and familiar surroundings, must also be a part of the training. ←Photo from pufasfoto.lt

Japanese team ready for World Championship
This fall several World Championship will be held. One of them The 2nd Kyokushin World Union World Championship, 3-4 October, Russia. The first World Championship was held two years ago in Bulgari. This is a tournament with weight categories,and the competitions will be held in 9 weight categories among men and 5 weight categories among women. Last time the Russian dominance was complete, as expected and its drawn in the same direction this time. (results 2013) WKO / Shinkyokushin Japan are supporting the tournament, lets take a look at those fighters!
The Royama/IFK based KWU are promoting heavily “It`s time to be united” no doubt about that, but a question could be asked why the tournament are held close to some of the biggest regular World Tournaments in the world.
back in the days…
Back in the days, the waza-ari`s never came easy! Some really old classic to see, and some of the non Japanese fighters who manage to leave a mark in the Kyokushin history in an early stage.
