🥋 A special memory from the Honbu Dojo of Soshi Kazuyuki Hasegawa in Nagoya, Japan. 🇯🇵

Saiko Shihan Roel Wildeboer together with Shihan Takuma Kouketsu , united through the spirit of true Kyokushin.

Moments like these remind us that Kyokushin is more than training and competition. It is friendship, respect, tradition, and the connection between generations of karateka from around the world.

The Honbu Dojo is a place where strong bonds are built, knowledge is shared, and the spirit of Budo continues to live on.

Osu! 🔥🥋

Osu,
Today, May 3rd, training took place in the dojo of Shihan Hans Tuinder.

Even with a smaller group due to the holiday period, the spirit on the Dojo floor was strong and focused. Under the guidance of Shihan Wildeboer, everyone trained hard and with full commitment.

Quality over quantity. Spirit over numbers. 💪

Thank you to everyone who was present and gave their best.

Before training begins, remembrance, gratitude, and discipline set the tone of the Dojo. This tradition reminds us that Kyokushin is more than technique and fighting spirit — it is respect, legacy, and character.

Through leaders like Saiko Shihan Roel Wildeboer, the original values of Kyokushin remain alive in Europe and beyond.

We bow to the past.
