At the recent Kyokushin Cup UK Open, eight of our students achieved excellent results, winning four 1st places and four 3rd places. This is a great improvement compared to last year’s tournament, and we are very proud of their progress.
Sempai Sathmi did an outstanding job as the team coach while also competing herself. Her dedication and leadership were a great inspiration to the team.
Participating in tournaments from a young age helps students build confidence, strength, and fighting spirit. However, the ultimate purpose of karate is not simply to win tournaments. Through strict training, discipline, perseverance, and respect, karate teaches us how to overcome the challenges of life and become better individuals.
Congratulations to all our students🎉 OSU!

Dan Grading Examination Results Announcement
On 31st May, we successfully conducted our Kyu and Dan Grading Examination during the International Seminar in Mandrani,West Bengal.
The examination panel consisted of myself, Shihan Satoshi Yui, and Sensei Abhishek Chandra, under the watchful supervision of Shihan Yui, who was our special guest from Japan.
The examination lasted nearly five hours, during which all candidates were required to demonstrate their understanding of techniques, power and precision in kata, and their fighting spirit and skills in kumite.
The power test was extremely challenging. In addition, all candidates had to complete 10 to 40 kumite, depending on their grading level, with the bouts conducted continuously and without rest periods.
Due to my busy schedule in Sri Lanka, there was a delay in issuing the grading results. However, I am pleased to officially announce the results of our students’ Dan Grading Examination today.
The successful candidates are as follows:
Sensei Ranjit Kumar Roy-Yondan
Sensei Prithish Mukherjee-Yondan
Sensei Manjula Preethiviraj-Yondan
