The World Forum is a tribute to the mentor and attention to his role in society. He will unite in Moscow both masters who have completed performances in different years, and current members of the national teams of their countries who have chosen the path of a mentor.
Only teachers and instructors (holders of master's degrees), whose activities are dedicated to working with children and youth, will meet on the tatami in different age groups and disciplines - such an event is unique as it is being held in the world for the first time.
Idea
The idea of the World Cup among Masters is to unite the mentors of the world through the philosophy of Kyokushin karate, under the motto "Friendship without boundaries". The cup will expand international contacts, strengthen friendly connections, create opportunities for demonstrating karate skills and regular meetings. The event will be held with respect to the memory of the founder of Kyokushin karate – Master Oyama Masutatsu.
