I was asked today what my thoughts are on the upcoming World Tournaments.
Frankly, I don't understand why one of the two groups uses the title the "8th World Tournament"and infringes Sosai's name and lists as the "Founder". They have lost their court case, they changed their name and the logo (although the word Kyokushin is still used) and they have nothing to do with Sosai's karate as far as legitimacy is concerned.
Given the history of how things unfolded with this group, I think they are losers- specifically the board members.
I do salute the fighters coming though. (^^)
