Success at the 18th Bava­rian Open 2023

Baar-Ebenhausen. The 18th Bavarian Open 2023 in Baar-Ebenhausen, on Saturday, 30.09.2023, was a remarkable event for the fighters from Shinzen Dojo who competed in the men's newcomer division. Our brave fighters achieved impressive rankings:

  • Khalid Aljabari reached first place in the lightweight division.
  • Nicolas Belleville secured second place in the light heavyweight division.
  • Andy Ostermann achieved third place also in the light heavyweight division.

We would like to express our heartfelt thanks and congratulations to our fighters for their successful participation in the 18th Bavarian Open from IKKA Baar-Ebenhausen.

A special thanks also goes to the organisers, referees, and Sensei Bülent Budak for the excellent hosting and invitation to this tournament.

We are already looking forward to participating next year and are ready to give our best again.

OSU!
