Kyokushin Fighter: top 30 KO from Shihan Ryu Narushima (video)

Shihan Ryu Narushima (成峻 竜, Narushima Ryū) is one of the most famous practitioners of Kyokushin karate. Though of small stature (1.70 m), he gained renown in the second half of the 1990s as one of the best fighters in this discipline. His fame stems from his ability to compete against much more extensive and heavier opponents in open competitions, without weight categories, thanks to his excellent technique and tactical intelligence. He was a student of Mas Oyama.

He achieved the following rankings:

  • 7th World Open Tournament 1999 (IKO): 8th place
  • 16th All Japan Weight Tournament 1999 (IKO): Champion
  • 1st World Weight Tournament 1997 (IKO): 3rd place
  • 13th All Japan Weight Tournament 1996 (IKO): Champion
