Every 4 years, exponents from all parts of the world got together in Japan to fight the best fighters in the world. There were no weight categories in this tournament, no racial categories, no continental categories. The only distinction and class is that of sheer will power and hard training. The difference on weight, high and techniques skills sometimes are compensate by the the fighters using the spirit of "Akiramenai" concept Japanese that mean "Never give up". This is an spectacular tournament, which captivate the hearts of the initiated and the experts. Around 500 participants from different countries around the world fight for the glory and honour of being the best fighter in the world.
The World tournament is an ultimate test of stamina and skill, with the emerging champion having to battle at least 8 opponents and break up to 10 wooden boards or roofing tiles in this 3 days, knockout style contest. For the first 3 times this world tournament was organized, the top eight fighters in the world were almost always Japanese, who spared no effort in making sure their fighters were of the highest calibre and capability. It was only until the 4th World Open Championships that exponents from Europe y Australia began to make serious challenges for the top honours.
And now, 22 years after Sosai Mas Oyama organised the Championships Kyokushin in 1975, the IBK organises the it’s first World Championships, of course in the honour of Sosai Mas Oyama.
