Commentary:
The number of participants and the camp’s atmosphere showed that the European Kyokushin Organization has been in renaissance for he past few years. The number of member countries is still growing, as well as the number of fighters and the level of European Championships, international camps and judge & referee training sessions. The best example of international cooperation was the presence of participants from nine countries.
