Suc­cessfully passed: Shinzen Dojo con­gra­tu­la­tes the exami­nees

Berlin-Schöneberg. Am Sunday, den 26. March., stand das nächste Highlight im Shinzen Dojo sowie für Kyokushin Karate Leipzig an: Die Kyu-Prüfung für 15 Kyokushin Karatekas.

Die IKO World Zen-Kyokushin Organization Germany unter der Leitung von Sempai Anh Son Le sowie Sempai Paul Kniep haben in Berlin ihre Schüler unter der Examination regulations des Kyokushin Karate geprüft. Für die meisten Schüler war es nicht ihre erste Kyu-Prüfung im Kyokushin Karate, sondern ihre letzte Kyu-Prüfung vor ihrer Schwarzgurt-Prüfung.

Such as for Marco Krüper, Choijantsan Bayarkhuu and Harald Zühlsdorf.

"After years or decades of regular training in Kyokushin Karate, one should be given the chance to take a black belt exam."

In Kyokushin Karate, one learns to remain persistent, to pursue goals and to stick with them. These are qualities that one also needs in other life situations these days.

Fun in Kyo­kus­hin Karate

At the IKO World Zen-Kyokushin Organization, of which Shinzen Dojo and Kyokushin Karate Leipzig are members, it is really about the fun factor. This does not mean we are fooling around with each other, but rather that we find joy in Kyokushin Karate training.

  • The physically demanding Karate training
  • The disciplined attitude towards Karate training
  • The spiritual bowing in and out before and after training

We would like to take this opportunity to once again warmly congratulate all participants of the Kyu examination.

OSU!

IFK German Open 2026: A first com­pe­ti­tion that remains in memory Black belt

A white belt, his first tournament and straight away an experienced black belt as an opponent: For Victory Ogbonna, the IFK German Open 2026 became a special experience.

After regular fight time and extra time, he lost by Waza-ari, but showed fighting spirit and got back up after a hard head strike. A first competition, an important experience – and definitely not the last.
