What an incredible day of Kyokushin spirit at HAITO Karate! We recently hosted our “50 Fights” event on Saturday, March 22, 2025, and the sheer power, determination, and heart displayed by our karatekas – young and adult alike – left us absolutely speechless.
Little Warriors, Mighty Hearts
Our youngest karatekas, aged 5-10, kicked off the day with a breathtaking display of courage. These little warriors faced 50 rounds of intense sparring, showcasing a level of grit and fighting spirit that belies their age. Each round was a testament to their dedication and training. We couldn’t be prouder of their achievement! To commemorate this feat, we awarded them certificates, symbolizing that hard work and perseverance can make any goal attainable.
Adults Push Their Limits in Full-Contact Fury
The afternoon saw our teens and adults step into the dojo for their own 50-fight challenge. In true Kyokushin style, they engaged in full-contact, non-stop action. Every participant demonstrated unwavering fighting spirit, pushing their limits with every exchange. They left the dojo with well-earned bruises and sore muscles – badges of honor that speak volumes about their commitment and sacrifice. As we say in Kyokushin, “Osu!”
Gratitude and Looking Ahead
We extend our sincere gratitude to everyone who participated and supported this event. Special thanks to our friends from Northampton Kyokushin Karate, Karate Ashford, Ryan Harden, and BKK Kyokushinkai for joining us and contributing to the day’s intensity and camaraderie.
This event was a powerful reminder of what Kyokushin Karate is all about: pushing beyond perceived limits, forging an unbreakable spirit, and the bonds of camaraderie. We are already looking forward to the next challenge!
This event was free of charge, and as a small independent club, we appreciate any support you can provide. If you’d like to help us, please visit our GoFundMe page.
