Anna Badmaeva - 4th Kyu2008 IFK U-18 World Tournament Winner

Dojo: Samurai, Astrakhan, Russia

Are you in full time education or are

you now in employment?Im graduated as a catering technologist

and now Im going to enrol at university

in a physical culture course

You fought and won in 2008 World

Championships, tell me about your

fights?

Well, there were 3 fights. I finished all of

them ahead of time with ippon: the first

one with a ushiro mawashi to the head,

and the two other with a ushiro geri to

the body.

What was your experience/feelings

about this event?

There were a lot of impressions. I didnt

even think that I could win. It was a

stressful atmosphere, big responsibility,

the coach had to constantly encourage

me.

Since becoming World Champion

what tournaments have you been in

and how have you done?

After that I went over to a womens

category and started in a group under 60kg. I took part in the Russian

Championship 2009 and lost the final to

Maria Lepina. In 2010 I took part in the

Russian Championship 2010 inMoscow. There I lost the final to

Svetlana Tuchkova. I was then invited to

be part of the Russian Team and we

went to European Kyokushinkan

Championship in Bulgaria, where I took

3rd place.

How have you found the difference

competing in adult events?

The difference is very noticeable.

All fighters are experienced and dont

give you a chance to win. People are

very different and indeed their level isvery high too.

What are your hopes for the future?

Id like to become a member of the

Russian Team and take part in the next

World Tournament.

Olga Sorokina - Shodan2006 IFK U-18 World Tournament 2nd

Dojo: School Of Kyokushinkai Kemerovo, Russia


you now in employment?I graduated from the college of Physical

Education and Sports and Im now

studying at the Institute doing 5 courses

in the same specialty.

You fought in the 2006 World


fights?

The first World Tounament 2006 was

very unusual for me as It was my first

trip abroad. I remember my first fight

was with a very heavy competitor. She

was 17 kilograms heavier than me. Itwas very hard to beat her. My second

fight was against a local star, and I was

afraid to lose, but I won after 4 minutes.

I fought with Anna Veshnyakova in the

final, That fight went all 3 rounds and the

Judges decision was 2/2 and the

referee gave his vote to Anna. I thoughtthe final fight would be 8 minutes so I

saved all my power for the 4th round. It

was a very upsetting defeat, because I

had defeated her previously.


about this event?

I liked Switzerland very much, I

remember that Hanshi Steve Arneil was

very kind and tried to calm me. He wiped

my tears and consoled me.

Since the World Tournament what

tournaments have you been in and

how have you done?

I did not want to lose again so I trained

very hard for my next tournament. It was

my first adult Championship of Russia in

Saint-Petersburg at 2007. And I won and

became a champion. It did not feel a big

difference between fighting juniors and

women as in Russia they are both

strong. The Championship of Europe in

Samara was my next goal. And Ibecame champion again, After that I

won Championship of Russia in

Cheboksary and was selected for the

Kyokushinkan Championship of Europe

in Moscow 2008. That tournament

wasnt easy because they had different

rules but it didnt stop me and I won goldmedal also. The All Kyokushin

Championship of the World in Hungary

2009 was the most difficult tournament

for me, because most powerful fighters

from different Federations gathered

there. It was an honor for me to

represent Russia and IFK there. Iunderstood that it was dream of my life

to be in such a competition. I had to win


30/50

but it wasnt easy at all. There were over

30 ladies in my category and I had good

fights with Edit Abraham of Hungary

Shinkyokushin and with a very patient

Japanese fighter but I overcame them

winning both fights by roll kick Ippon.

I understood that I learned how to lose

graciously when I became second at this

Tournament. I didnt except such result

because I had been nervous and I

thought that I would lose in the early

rounds. It was a pleasure to also be

awarded prizes for best technique and

for shortest fight. I hadnt won such

prizes before.


I hope I will return to karate. And if I win

Championship of Europe I will behonoured with master of sports (this is

highest sport rank in Russia) from the

government.

Wishing TheIFK, BKK,

Fighters, OfficialsAnd Spectators

A Great DayAt K2

Emma Markwell - Nidan2006 IFK U-18 World Tournament 3rd

Dojo: BKK Wimbeldon, England


you now in employment?I have been working for BMW in

Croydon since leaving school at 16 but

have just left that to travel. My plans are

to spend a month in Russia as visa

permitting I am going to take part in the

St Petersburg fighters camp for 3 weeks

under Sensei Dmitry. I then travel toThailand where I am enrolled at Tiger

Muay Thai camp before moving onto

Japan. Hopefully I will get to compete

whilst I am there. I will spend two weeks

in Australia before finishing off the trip in

Canada. When I come back I hope to go

to University.



fights?

Going into the 2006 World Tournament I

had not had any competition experienceat contact fighting due to the BKK rules

and I had to fight a Russian girl. The fight

went the maximum three rounds, and

she got the decision after that. It was a

tough, full on fight, but I gave my all and

felt Id used all the hard training Id put in

to its full advantage. I am sure if we hada better system to prepare our

youngsters for this type of bout I could

have done better.


about this event?

Being my first ever contact event I

remember how nervous I felt! And I also

remember after the fight, despite the

bruises, all I was interested in was when

I was going to get to do it again! It

definitely gives you the bite. But in the

bigger picture these events are great for

getting some experience towards the

future fighting careers of cadets and

juniors. Theyre also a brilliant way to

make contacts with other people fromother countries Wesley from Holland

fought in the same 2006 world

tournament and today the British and

Dutch teams work together extremely

well, using and promoting each others

events.

Since then what tournaments have

you been in and how have you done?

I tend to fight in as many tournaments

as possible, and am really pleased with

my performance in general. As a fighter

youre always trying to improve on your

past performances. In particular, mybest bouts have been in Hungary and at

the three British Opens Ive fought in, in


32/50

particular a four round battle in the final

of 2010 with current IFK World

Champion Mariya Lepina. Ive also been

fortunate enough to represent the IFK in

a world team at the All Kyokushin World

Tournament in Budapest in 2009, it was

an incredible tournament, with 32 of the

best lightweight girls Ive seen. I was

really proud to have been placed in

such a world class event, defeating 2 of

the favourites in my first fight and

another Russian to get the 3rd place but

also really proud to have had some

really positive feedback on my fighting

from our Russian team members. In

many ways the compliments you get

from people when youve fought well can

be just as rewarding as winning a fight.

Ive also been to the IKO3 Worldtournament in Spain, and fought in

Holland, Belgium and France.

How did you find the difference

between cadet events and now com-

peting in adult events?

There is definitely a difference betweenthe step up out of the cadets and into the

main events. But I do believe the cadet

tournaments give you an advantage in

how well you cope. You have an idea

what training is required, you have

experienced the nerves, youve been hit,

and what ever level youre competing at,every fight is a physical and mental

battle, and the cadet tournaments

prepare you well for that.


I think like most people I just want to

keep pushing and pushing. Im stillyoung so have loads of time to achieve

new things. At the moment Im seeing a

lot more 2nd and 3rd places, and Id

really like to start breaking the barrier a

bit more and pushing the top girls off. Id

like to hold the British title again. And

longer term Id like to compete incountries like Russia and Japan and try

to push their top fighters too until I

become recognised there. And then the

world!

Victor Kurilenko - 2nd Kyu2008 IFK U-18 World Tournament 1st

Dojo: Region Sei-do Club, Russia

You became Lightweight champion at

the 2008 World Championships, tellme about your fights?

It's pretty hard to remember how it was

after 3 years. I had injuries to one of my

legs before the competition, so I

wasn't able to do a lot of kicks during

training sessions. I felt this injury even

during the Championship. I had 2 hardfights, in the semi and the final. The semi

final fight against a fighter from

Belorussia was very hard. I kicked him

right to the head several times, but he

stayed on his legs. I said to him after the

fight that he had an iron head and he

smiled. The final was against Malyukov

from Russia and was even harder

because we are friends. At the beginning

of the fight I was calm, but after a

warning from the referee we had a very

fast and powerful fight. In the end I

finished the fight with a good series of

punches with ippon. Both my legs after

the Tournament were injured and my

coach had to carry my bag.


about this event?

I didn't understand that I won and I stillcannot believe it. I understood that it was

very important when I returned home. All

the people around me were very glad

and the whole city knew about it. It wasa pleasure to take part in photo sessions

for magazines and newspapers. They

were unforgettable feelings. When I

watch videos of the Tournament I'm still

very excited



I took a period of time after the

Tournament to have a rest and to heal

my injuries. I was second on the

Championship of Altayskiy Area and I

was 3rd at the Cup of Russia inKemerovo in the adult category


I have a desire to win, to be 1! I think that

I should to have a rest and begin to

prepare for competitions with new power

and I have a future prospect to be acoach after University

people and I am working as a salesman

fights?

I was fighting against a Swiss guy called

Ivo I think. I was only 47kg and he was

67kg. So there was a lot of weight

difference. He was obviously stronger

then me but not the better fighter. I keptmoving around whilst he was going

forward with punches and lowkicks. I

scored my points with my high kicks but

it wasn't enough for the both of us and it

ended in a draw. The 2nd round went

the same as the 1st. I was still scoring

more points but i just didn't have theweight and the power to make the

difference and I thought it would be

another draw. Unfortunately the referees

decided the other way and they gave the

fight to him. Lost but with a pride in

myself!


about this event?

It is absolutely amazing to be in a world

tournament when you are 16. When Iwas walking around and watching the

clicker fights on the 1st day I was so

happy to be there. It was an

honour to fight and represent my

country in a tournament where my role

models where walking around and

where going to see me fight. Then ofcourse after the fighting I made a lot of

friends who are still close to me. Which

made it an even better event.



I 've been fighting a lot since then. I won

the Severn Challenge and the Pilatus

Cup. I then started off with the adult

tournaments in 2008 with the IFK

Belgian Championships in November

which I won and the Tezuka Cup in

November where I came 2nd. Then in2009 I fought in the Open European

Championships of Kamakura and I

came 3rd. Then in October I entered in

to the British Open and came to the last

8 and a month later I came 3rd in the

Diamond Cup. In 2010 I came 3rd in the

Open Dutch Shinkyokushin and 2 weekslater I won the Open Belgian

Shinkyokushin. I had the same result at


36/50

the Europeans of Kamakura 3rd and

Best Fighting style in March and I came

1st on the Open IFK Valencia Cup in

May. In June I was fighting in my 1st

adult World Cup in Estepona and came

to the last 16. I also won the Swedish

Open in September, but broke my thumb

so I couldn't fight in the British Open.

2011 I started of with a 3rd place in the

Open Dutch Shinkyokushin and a 3rd

place on the Open European

Championships of Kamakura. My last

tournament was The Rengokai

European Championships in Hungary. I

injured my knee in the 1st round which I

was winning but I couldn't fight on.

How did you find the difference

between cadet events and nowcompeting in adult events?

I have always been one of the lightest in

the categories where I was fighting but

the difference was pretty hard in the

beginning because you have to fight

against older fighters who have more

power and are simply heavier than mewhich when your fighting in the cadets

they are all similar sized and around the

same age. When I started the adults in

2008 my weight was around 55 kg. So it

was a lot of weight to over bridge during

the fights. Eventually I was getting a bit

bigger and stronger and now my weightis around 64 kg just a bit more is what I

want. Now I feel good when I am fighting

and I am only getting stronger so all the

older lightweight fighters, watch out here

I come ha ha.

What are your hopes for the future?I hope that I can fight in as many

tournaments as possible and obviously I

want to win them. Also I would like to

make a name in the Kyokushinkai world

in every organisation and that they are

as honoured as I am to have me fight in

there tournaments. There are also a fewfighters which I want to fight against. So

guys do NOT retire until we have fought.

After my fighting career I would like to

have my own dojo and be an inspiration

for other fighters and karateka. I would

also like to be the squad coach and give

all the things Ive learned to all theyounger fighters.

Nathan Williams - Shodan2008 IFK U-18 World Tournament 1stDojo: BKK Cardiff, Wales


you now in employment?Currently studying Maths, Further

Maths, Biology and Chemistry in 6th

form College, Whitchurch High School.

You fought in the 2008 and won in the

clicker division of the World Cham-

pionships, tell me about your fights?

I had a total of 6 fights in the World

Tournament. I remember feeling quite

frustrated in my first fight as I was not

fighting at my best, and just didnt feel

myself. I managed to win, however I

knew I had to up my game if I were to dowell further on in the competition. As I

had more and more fights I was feeling

more myself and started fighting how I

wanted to, moving around my

opponents trying to pick them off. I had

worked hard on my fitness for the

tournament and always tried to keep thetempo of my fights up, knowing I would

have the edge on my opponent in the

last 30 seconds of the fight. As I

progressed in the tournament so did

many of my Great British teammates. At

the Semi-final stage of the competition I

was drawn against my teammate SamiMehio. Sami and I had fought twice

before. In our first fight at the Severn

Challenge 2007 Sami won. We then

fought a few months before the WorldTournament in a fight off for the Wales

vs England, which I won. Having

recently got the win I went into the fight

with confidence, but I knew Sami would

have wanted to settle the score. After a

great and very close fight I managed to

get the decision and progressed to thefinal. In the final I was set to fight my

Welsh sparring partner Matthew Ali. It

was a strange experience as we spar so

many times in training and we knew how

each other fought. I decided to stick to

my guns and fought the way I wanted to

fight. After another really close fight Iwas delighted to succeed as champion.


about this event?

It was an unforgettable experience! One

I will remember for the rest of my life.Also, this was where I first realised the

global scale of the karate world and the

fantastic opportunities that can arise.



Since the World tournament I dont thinkI ever really fought the same way again.

I started to train with the Welsh mens


38/50

team and my style of fighting really

changed. I think I was already looking

forward to fighting in the knockdown and

perhaps my emphasis on clicker wasnt

as great due to the training in

knockdown, and the hard work I needed

to put in to represent Great Britain at the

World Kata Tournament. I think this

accumulation of things meant I started

coming 2nd and 3rd at tournaments but

I was glad to win my last chance at the

British Clicker in 2009.

How did you find the difference mov-

ing into cadet events?

The transition is one that you only really

feel once you have fought that initial

knockdown fight. However, thanks to all

the help from my coaches and the hardwork put in I found the change fine. In

fact I thoroughly enjoyed it!

We see you are now selected for the

Kyokushin rules at this years event,

what are your expectations?

My expectations of myself at this

tournament are to use the experience I

have picked up recently fighting abroad,

and in different tournaments to fight to

the best of my ability and enjoy this

fantastic opportunity.


I would like to pursue my career as a

knockdown fighter and hopefully

represent Great Britain at a senior level.

Also, I am hoping to widen my overall

martial arts knowledge by trying out dif-

ferent styles of fighting and self defence.

This in turn will help me grow as a per-

son and hopefully bring some new ideas

to Kyokushin.
