100 Man Kumite – Artur Hovhannisian
Congratulations to Shihan Artur for completing the 100 man kumite yesterday! Only the very strongest fighters are given permission to even attempt the 100 man kumite. The last one was Brazil’s Francisco Filho (also World Champion) about 10 years ago! Jayson Vemoa (K1 coach to the Team Ichigeki) participated. He called it “one of the craziest, bravest, mind blowing things in Kyokushin”. Artur’s last 3 fights were Glaube Feitosa, Kentaro Tanaka and Francisco Filho!!! What an awesome day! Shihan Artur works for the IKO and takes regular classes at Tokyo Honbu.
