Even after the death of Oyama Masutatsu the number of people going in for Kyokushin Karate in each country increases every year. Simultaneously the number of organizations which have gone on the way of Kyokushin and became to go in for the contact karate also increases. I think that if even we will not be able to integrate all the organizations in one organization we have to cooperate with each of the existing organizations with the purpose to come to unity of opinion. I think that at present it is very important that KWU would establish its office in all countries. These offices have to cooperate not only with organizations of Kyokushin, but also with other federations going in for contact karate with the purpose that we, united with one idea, could enter into Olympic Games.
