About the Kyokushinkan Karate-do Federation, Russia

Russia’s Kyokushinkan Karate-do Federation was set up in 2004 and was admitted to the International Kyokushinkan Karate-do Federation. The Federation’s goal is to create and support youth sport schools, promote and keep the Kyokushinkan traditions in Russia.

Though the Federation is young, it has achieved a lot. In May 2004 the Federation held the Youth Open Team Cup and the men’s international competition bringing together athletes from Russia, the CIS, Europe and Asia. Following the competitions the national team was formed to train for the Kyokushinkan Karate World Championship that will take place outside Japan for the first time. It will be held in Luzhniki, Moscow, in September 2005.

The Federation is headed by IFC METROPOL General Director Mikhail Slipenchuk.
