Summer Camp IFK Switzerland 2021

Over 100 participants from all IFK Switzerland dojos met from July 23rd to 25th together in Willisau to finally complete a training camp again after a long Corona break.

In small groups, Kihon, Kata, and Kumite were diligently trained for three days, working on one’s own abilities and correcting minor mistakes. There was a lot of sweating, but no less laughing, and the Budo spirit was cultivated.

After around a year and a half, an official seat belt test took place again. Over a period of 5 hours, the experts tested the candidates for their strength, stamina, and understanding of Kyokushinkai Karate. We congratulate all examinees on their success:
