Dear friends, colleagues!

On behalf of the International Union “Kyokushin Profi” and the FSOO “Federation of Kyokushinkai Full Contact Karate of Russia” I congratulate you with the New Year 2024, which will be a leap year according to the astronomical calendar.

I wish everyone only high sports and pedagogical achievements in this leap year.

I also invite you to follow our mission, namely to be the best in sports, successful in the profession, significant in society, and also actively continue to promote Kyokushinkai karate in Russia and worldwide.

Our plans for 2024 are as follows:
