On June 7-9, 2024, the HUSARIA Dojo, led by Shihan Radek the Branch Chief & Country Representative of Poland, organized the fourth edition of the IKO World So-Kyokushin International Seminar. This year, 180 fighters from 10 countries came to Szczecin, Poland, including over 100 black belts. Our head instructor was Shihan Cameron Quinn (Australia), a long-time friend and interpreter for the creator of Kyokushin Karate, Sosoai Masutatsu Oyama, who responded positively to Shihan Radek’s invitation. This year’s seminar was devoted to kihon and its applications, with particular emphasis on techniques banned in sports fighting, but extremely useful in real combat and self-defense. The seminar took place in a friendly, even family atmosphere. The participants not only improved their knowledge of martial arts but also made new friendships and strengthened existing ones. All participants had a great opportunity to meet each other during the Sayonara Party with live music and dancing 🙂 . The culmination of the seminar was a Dan Test, which took place at the front of an International Board chaired by Shihan Cameron Quinn (Australia), Examination Board consisted of : Shihan Radek Ambroziak (Poland), Shihan Casto (Italy), Shihan Nodari (Georgia), Shihan Jonas (Hungary), Shihan Zembrzuski (Poland), Shihan Godoś (Poland), Shihan Pietras (Poland), Shihan Borowiec (Poland), Sensei Falko (Poland), Sensei Kos (Poland). We would like to thank all participants for their trust and ubiquitous smiles and friendship. We are already inviting you all to the next IKO World So-Kyokushin International Seminar, which will take place on June 6-8, 2025 in Szczecin, Poland. We would like to thank the authorities and the Sports Department of the City of Szczecin as well as the Management of the VULCAN Hotel and the Management of the VULCAN&CONSULTANCY Training Center for their support. Great OSU!!!
