Osu!
Dear Shihan,

Luca Cozza is my students from Pinerolo, not far from Torino.

After several years of studying Shotokan Karate with the best instructor in Italy, he questioned the effectiveness of this kind of Budo, and started to study Kaicho's Kyokushin Budokai.

I asked him his opinion about the IBK, which he joined in January 2009, and about the recent Summer Camp in Holland.

I think what he said is really good for the web-site.

My experience at the IBK summer camp in Holland has confirmed my positive impressions about the persons (Kaicho Jon Bluming and Kancho Henk Kuipers), the serious environment, the competence and the considerable preparations of the instructors. It's an environment where it's not difficult to be in harmony with oneself and the other people and where all can take part in spite of his preparations, skill level, or grade. I think that in the IBK everyone learns a lot of useful techniques. All can learn that the members of the IBK are honest, nice, kind and true people because, more than speaking from the mouth, everyone communicated from and with the heart and with true passion for the sport. Now I can finally say that I belong to a true Martial Arts association and I'm proud to represent it.

Luca Cozza
Best regards,
Andrea
