Senpai Message: Update in October

OSU

Dear friends of the Shinzen Dojo,

October brings quiet but thoroughly positive news.

Unsere Gemeinschaft wächst stetig und gesund, in allen Altersklassen, von den Kindern bis zu den Erwachsenen. Es ist ermutigend zu sehen, dass das Interesse am Kyokushin Karate, das wir hier im Shinzen Dojo in Berlin-Schöneberg und Berlin-Steglitz lehren, kontinuierlich zunimmt.

Die Lehren des Respekts, der Werte und der Philosophy, die uns das Kyokushin Karate imparts to us remain the backbone of our dojo.

In a time when many things are uncertain, it is these principles that give us stability and simultaneously inspire us to be better.

A thank you to everyone who is on this journey with us.

Sosai Mas Oyama sagte einmal:

"A person is never as strong as when they are aware of their true weakness."

In these words lies a quiet reminder and inspiration for us all to follow our path with humility and self-confidence.

Your perseverance and your motivation are remarkable, and it is a quiet yet powerful reminder of why we do what we do.

May we continue to remain patient and steadfast on our Kyokushin Karate path.

With sincere appreciation,

Senpai Son Le

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. In Naunhof, the 27-year-old from Shinzen Dojo Berlin competed for the first time in the Kumite +90 kg category. 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.
