The best of the best!
The other day, from Tokyo (Japan) came official approval that the head of Sports club of Almaty Management University (earlier IAB) Baurzhan Tleubayev was assigned by the 4th Karate Kyokushinkai dan.
Baurzhan is the first Kazakhstani, who was honored to receive 4th dan according to the International Organization of Kyokushinkai-kan Karate exactly in Japan – it is really hard to do that!
Dan-test for pretenders on the high titles is famous for its hard and tough trials. Exam was conducted during several days, once after the World Championship on karate, which is held as Olympic games once in 4 years. In dan-test participated karate sportsmen from all over the world. The best representatives of regional schools prepare to this trial with maximum seriousness, because the next trial can be received only after the next Championship. Of course, the test can be passed in Kazakhstan, but on the homeland of Karate it is much more honorable.
In programs of the test was everything: kihons**, physical trials, push-ups on fists, crosses, work in couples, blocks, punches, swings, and 30 fights with black belts, and without weight categories. Practically all the competitors were heavier and bigger than Baurzhan, but in karate it doesn’t matter, every karate fighter must know how to beat any enemy. The chief-trainer of students, teachers and employees of AlmaU honorably passed these trials!
It should be noted that Baurzhan makes a huge job on popularization and development of kyokushinkai karate in Kazakhstan, has certificate of international category judge, which was also received in Japan, trains children.
Congratulations, Baurzhan! Wish you strong health and further success in sports arena!
Kihon** - special training uniform for studying and working off the technics without real contender.
