WKO Shinkyokushinkai Bangladesh Summer Camp 2025: A New Milestone for Kyokushin in Bangladesh

Cox’s Bazar | 11–13 July 2025
Organized by: KO Fight Studio

The WKO Shinkyokushinkai Bangladesh Summer Camp 2025 was held from 11 to 13 July in the coastal city of Cox’s Bazar. Organized by KO Fight Studio, this year’s edition marked the largest national Kyokushin summer camp ever held in Bangladesh, with a total of 49 participants, including over 42 students and instructors, special guests, and support staff.

Now in its fourth year since its inception in 2022, the annual summer camp has grown into a flagship event for WKO Bangladesh. Participants from both the Gulshan and Dhanmondi Dojo of KO Fight Studio joined forces to train, learn, and grow together in the true spirit of Kyokushin Karate.

The camp’s training curriculum was structured to meet international standards, focusing on the core disciplines of Kyokushin: Kihon (basics), Eido (movement), Kata (forms), and Kumite (sparring). Each day began with dawn Zen meditation, followed by a 5 km run and high-intensity beach training. Morning kata sessions took place from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., followed by afternoon beach conditioning starting at 3:00 p.m., after a 2 km walk, and ending at sunset with powerful group sessions.

To strengthen the bond between members and foster a sense of unity and motivation, the camp also featured a variety of team-building games such as Keiba, sumo wrestling, human chain races, star games, and low kick challenges. These moments of play and teamwork brought additional energy and joy to the rigorous schedule.

The 2025 camp also stood out for its inclusive participation, welcoming women and children alongside adult karateka, reinforcing the community-driven values of WKO.

The camp concluded with a Sayonara Dinner, where Shihan Abdullah Mohammad Hossain delivered an inspirational speech, highlighting the achievements of the camp, encouraging continued discipline, and calling on all students to carry the Kyokushin spirit forward in their personal lives and dojo practice.

This camp not only reinforced technical excellence and physical resilience, but also stood as a symbol of how far the Kyokushin movement has come in Bangladesh. With each passing year, WKO Shinkyokushinkai Bangladesh continues to set a higher standard—both on the tatami and off.

Last night at KO Fight Studio, we witnessed a milestone forged in spirit, sweat, and the way of Osu no Seishin.

Sensei Aseif Masood was awarded his 3rd Dan, becoming the first-ever 3rd Dan Black Belt of WKO Bangladesh — a landmark under the relentless leadership of Shihan Abdullah Mohammad Hossain

Senpai Arafat Rahman, our All-Asia Champion, earned his 2nd Dan, while warriors Senpai Mahsoun Choudhury and Senpai Riffat Kamal achieved their 1st Dan black belts — a symbol of unwavering spirit and countless hours of keiko.

The belts and certificates were handed with honor by Shihan Abdullah, President, Country Representative and Branch Chief of WKO Shinkyokushinkai Bangladesh. We were proud to have many of our WKO family present to witness this moment of power and perseverance.

Kyokushin is not just a martial art — it is a way of life. This is only the beginning. OSU!
