Founding

As it was stated earlier, – the decision to create a World Union was made during the International Conference “Kyokushin in the modern world”, which was kept in Moscow, March, 28, 2011. The World Union establishes a very ambitious aim – to enter international sports union “SportAccord” as a separate sport, and through this way to become an active participant in the world of sport martial arts, united by five Olympic rings.
Today it is already obvious that this historical step is consolidating the world’s Kyokushin, uniting separate international organisations, basing on principles of equality into a single international sports federation.
It is expected, that already in this year the Kyokushin World Union will be registered in the Olympic capital of the world – the city of Lausanne.
