hope that everything is going well with you and your dojo, and that your training continues to flourish in the coming year. I also sincerely hope that this year will be one in which we can further strengthen the unity of our organization, as we have done in the past.
It is with the greatest honor that we announce that the 3rd World Championship will be held in October 2027 at the Granship in Shizuoka City.
World So-Kyokushin has continued to advance while cherishing the true spirit of Budo and the heartfelt bonds among its members. Guided by this steadfast belief, our organization has now grown to include member countries from 70 nations worldwide.
The upcoming World Championship is expected to surpass the previous one not only in scale but also in quality.
It will be a gathering of Kyokushin practitioners from around the globe who, through daily rigorous training, continue to refine both body and mind, coming together to share and recognize each other’s dedication and achievements.
Furthermore, throughout this year, I hope that everyone will diligently continue their individual training, interact and cooperate with one another in each region, and, while preparing for the upcoming World Championship, work together to further enhance the value and global standing of World So-Kyokushin.
Osu.
Sincerely,
Daigo Oishi
President,World So-kyokushin
