We would like to thank all participants, coaches, referees, supporters, and volunteers for making the trip to Sneek and contributing to the success of this tournament. It wouldn’t have been possible without you!
A special word of appreciation goes out to our friends from So-Kyokushin UK, So-Kyokushin Norway and So-Kyokushin Spain. We are truly grateful that you took the time and effort to travel all the way to Sneek and be part of the Waterpoort Cup. It was wonderful to share this experience with you, both on and off the tatami. Together, we also presented and discussed the plans for the very first So-Kyokushin European Championship, which will take place next year in Sneek. We’re excited to build this new chapter side by side with our international Kyokushin family!
OSU!
