EDSOMA Martial Arts Hosts Thrilling CKLA Tournament! 
Wellington, 13 July 2025 – On Saturday, 12 July, EDSOMA Martial Arts had the honour of hosting the Combat Karate League Aotearoa (CKLA) July tournament at our home base in Berhampore. It was a proud moment for our team to showcase true community spirit and martial arts hospitality. The event featured an exciting fight card, with athletes from both Sanchin Freestyle Karate and EDSOMA stepping onto the mat to compete in combat karate and wrestling matches. Each bout demonstrated not only technical skill and athleticism, but also the individual flair and fighting spirit that defines the CKLA ethos. All competitors showed remarkable growth, courage, and heart—turning the event into more than just a competition. It was a celebration of martial arts in its purest form. Feedback from fighters, coaches, and spectators alike was overwhelmingly positive. What stood out the most, however, was the appreciation expressed by fighters for WKKO NZ & CKLA’s commitment to fairness and integrity. In this league, there are no politics—just clean fights where winners win, and those who fall short walk away with valuable lessons. EDSOMA is proud to be part of this growing martial arts movement and looks forward to hosting and competing in many more events like this. Thanks to WKKO Kenpo.Kyokushin.Kaikan for their support and leadership as well as Sanchin Freestyle Karate, all fighters, officals and coaches for making this happen. OSU

Today, our WKKO representative Sensei Carlos Del Valle and Professor David Tavares paid respects to the Kyokushin lineage. Today we honor Shihan Edward "Bobby" Lowe. May you continue to Rest in Eternal Peace, Sir! Osu! Edward "Bobby" Lowe, known as Shihan Bobby Lowe, is a prominent figure in the world of Kyokushin Karate, recognized for his significant contributions to the martial art and his role as a senior instructor. Born on August 23, 1929, in Honolulu, Hawaii, he began his martial arts journey under the guidance of his father, who was a Kung Fu teacher specializing in Sil Lum Pai. This early exposure laid the foundation for his lifelong dedication to martial arts.
Early Martial Arts Training:
Lowe's martial arts education expanded as he grew older. He trained in Judo and Jujitsu under Seishiro Okazaki at the Nuuanu Hongwanji Boys Club and also studied Yoshinkai Aikido and Kosho-ryu Kempo under notable instructors. By the age of 23, he had achieved impressive ranks: a 4th Dan in Judo, a 2nd Dan in Kempo, and a 1st Dan in Aikido, alongside being a respected welterweight boxer.
Introduction to Kyokushin Karate:
Lowe's introduction to Kyokushin Karate came in 1952 when Masutatsu Oyama, the founder of Kyokushin, performed a demonstration in Hawaii. Impressed by Oyama's strength and technique, Lowe approached him for training. After a brief period of training in Hawaii, Lowe moved to Japan to become Oyama's first uchi-deshi (live-in student), where he underwent rigorous training that included multiple daily sessions focusing on kata, self-defense, and sparring.
Career and Contributions:
In 1957, Lowe opened the first Kyokushin dojo outside Japan in Hawaii, marking a significant milestone in the global spread of Kyokushin Karate. He was promoted to various ranks by Oyama over the years, achieving 4th Dan by 1957, 5th Dan in 1965, 7th Dan in 1976, and ultimately 8th Dan in 1984. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, he played a crucial role in promoting Kyokushin Karate through tournaments and seminars, significantly contributing to its popularity.
Lowe authored several influential books on Kyokushin, including "Mas Oyama's Karate as Practiced in Japan" (1954) and "Kyokushin Karate: Self-Defense Techniques" (1999). His writings and teachings emphasized the importance of self-defense techniques alongside competitive aspects of karate.
Legacy and Recognition:
After the passing of Mas Oyama in 1994, Lowe was appointed as the Chairman of the IKO International Committee, overseeing the global development of Kyokushin Karate. He continued to teach and promote the art until his death on September 14, 2011. In recognition of his contributions, he was posthumously awarded the rank of 10th Dan by the IKO.
Shihan Bobby Lowe is remembered as a pioneer of Kyokushin Karate, whose dedication to the art and its principles has left a lasting impact on martial artists worldwide. His legacy continues through the many students and instructors he trained and inspired throughout his life. Osu

Only days after the martial arts world lost one of its brightest lights, Richard Norton, the ripple of his legacy moved through every breath and movement on the mats at Team Norton. What he’s left behind will continue to be carried forward—through care and connection.

Professor Clint Harris, a torchbearer of that legacy, welcomed Sensei Stirling, Sensei Iwasaki, Senpai Kaito, and the Iwasaki family onto the mats. The timing gave the visit a deeper tone—unspoken, but understood. There was a natural sense of respect between everyone present, and that respect shaped the entire exchange.

Professor Clint led a private grappling masterclass for the guests—unrushed, considered, and given without pretence. It was the kind of session that didn’t need to declare its value; it revealed itself in the way it was held. Richard’s presence wasn’t something that had to be spoken about. It was already there—in the timing, in the tone, and in the way people treated each other. Osu

WKKO Australia representative and advisor, Sensei Stirling, has welcomed Sensei Iwasaki and his family, along with Senpai Kaito, from northern Japan into his home. On the first day of their arrival, they attended training at the Bushido Academy, where they were warmly welcomed by Sensei Jolyon and his wife, Senpai Brenda.

Sensei Iwasaki, Senpai Kaito, and Daiki joined the children’s class alongside the young master, Shingo, interacting with the students and bringing a quiet excitement to the room. Sensei Jolyon runs a fantastic program blending Kyokushin, Shidokan and Jujutsu for both kids and adults. The children were clearly excited to have extra black belts on the mat—especially ones visiting from Japan.

They also joined the adult class, which featured Kihon, Dutch combo work on pads, and some solid combative Jujutsu. Also in attendance were Senpai Steve, who assisted Sensei Jolyon in leading the classes, and Senpai Ricky. Sensei Jolyon and Senpai Brenda were incredibly welcoming and generous hosts.

While training together is always a gift, the greater value lies in the connections we build along the Budo path—reminding us that we are not just walking the path, but forming it together. Osu

WKKO IBK INTERNATIONAL NEWS 23/03/2025
On Sunday, March 16, Renshi RP was promoted to 5th dan Kyokushin Karate and 6th dan Kenpokai Combat Karate.
He has had his well-deserved promotion(s) by and from the hands of Kancho Gerard Gordeau.
This took place with an official ceremony in the ring at the 33rd open European Championships Kyokushin Karate in The Hague, the Netherlands.
This well-deserved honour is not self-evident because at the International Budokai & WKKO promotion is not standard. But the qualities and commitment of the person in and for the sport are considered.
In this case, it is more than clear that the successor in Kancho's organization, Gerard Gordeau, lives for the Budo and Budo sport.
And in addition to Full-Contact Karate, he has much more knowledge & skills from: Self-defense, Jujutsu, weapons classic and modern, Combatives and much more.
Congratulations!!!!!!

From now on it is Shihan RP

The 3rd Hoogeveen Gym Dordrecht Kyokushin Cup at Papendrecht, under the auspiciën of the WKKO Kyokushin Kenpokaikan, and the organization of Sensei Gerry Hoogeveen and a very good support crew. Sensei Gerry has made a great tournament in the last three years. His team and structure is very professional, also his attitude and the atmosphere in the event hall. He is supported by a WKKO team and a team of SKN mercenaries from both WKKO and IBK referees and other organizations. One set of rules that seem to work. Maybe next year all juniors and kids use closed helmets. We congratulate Sensei Gerry and his Dojo for the good job. The WKKO is proud on his effort. Osu
