The Shinkyokushin calendar is heating up, and all eyes are now turning toward Indonesia. We are thrilled to announce that the 20th Asia Open Shinkyokushin Karate Championship is officially scheduled for November 22, 2026, in the beautiful city of Denpasar, Bali.
Hosted by WKO Shinkyokushinkai Indonesia, this landmark 20th-anniversary event promises to be a massive gathering of the strongest karateka from across the continent. Under the theme of “WKO Unity,” the championship serves as a bridge for practitioners to showcase their “Osu” spirit and technical excellence.
Expanded Divisions: More Opportunities for Our Students
This year’s championship is particularly exciting for the KO Fight Studio family and the wider WKO Bangladesh community. The organizers have officially added:
- Kata Division: A chance for our practitioners to showcase the precision, timing, and soul of Shinkyokushin forms.
- Junior Division: A vital platform for our young lions to gain international experience and test their skills on a professional stage.
The inclusion of these categories means our delegation this year can be more diverse than ever, representing the full spectrum of our training—from the technical beauty of Kata to the raw power of Kumite.
