Rangith Puliyath Balan is preparing in right earnest for the 2016 Shinkyokushinkai Asian Championship to be held on September 3-4 in South Korea.
Shinkyokushinkai is a full contact karate form, which according to Rangith makes the battles more intriguing. And the 2015 World Karate Organisation - Shinkyokushinkai International champion is training hard despite demanding weather conditions. At the age of 32, he sees this as his last opportunity to bag another title. Also, if he bags a top three spot in Korea, he will gain an automatic qualification into the 2017 Shinkyokushinkai World Championship to be held in Kazakhstan.
DECODING SHINKYOKUSHINKAI In the 1960s, Korean-Japanese karate master Masutatsu Oyama founded a new form of karate - Kyokushin 'the ultimate truth'. It is considered the first and most influential style of full contact karate. Oyama was also the man behind formation of the International Karate Organisation. After his death many of his disciples formed their own units with the same name. Then all branch chiefs met and formed a new organisation to protect its unique identity. It was named World Karate Organisation - Shinkyokushinkai. 'Shin' in Japanese means 'new' and 'kai' means 'association'. One of the goals of kyokushin is to strengthen and improve character by challenging oneself through rigorous training. Oyama's student Kenji Midori is the present president. Being a full contact form of karate, Shinkyokushinkai has a mass following. Russian President Vladimir Putin has received a high-ranking black belt in Kyokushin. |
