Karate * Chanbara * MMA Saturday 11th December - children, juniors; Sunday 12th December - seniors.  This are the some of the kicks and punches from XV and XVI Polish Gosoku-ryu Karate Championships. Since 2007 we have been fighting in glows and helmets. Also since that time there wasn't a single head or face injury. Now it is possible to really punch or kick without injuring your opponent. We introduce you to our way of point system fighting to show you how make the sport fight both more real and safe. At our tournaments you actually have to make contact to score a point but as the experience shows it's not unsafe any longer. This way two major principles of training are equal: the safety (which is very important in modern sport) and effectiveness (crucial in traditional budo). We have pleasure to show you one of its kind tournament that put together budo tradition and sport.

  IKF: What would you consider your greatest martial arts moment? CN: I would have to say that it was the very first tournament I won, which was Takayuki Kubota's All-Star Championships in L.A. I fought Ron Marchini. Winning that trophy was probably one of the greatest thrills I ever had because up to that time I had never won anything - in any area of my life. When I won that, it broke the ice for me and I realized that I could become a champion. It was the first All-Star Championships of the International Karate Association, which took place in 1964. In following championships Tony Tulleners, student of Grandmaster Kubota defeated Chuck Norris three times. In autumn this year 42nd All-Star Tournament is going to take place in LA.
