Hello! Does anyone follow Kyokushin karate events? I heard Bulgaria might have some strong competitors this year — is that true?

Hey there! Yes, absolutely — Bulgaria has some impressive athletes this season. According to BurgasMedia’s article Bulgarian karatekas compete at World Kyokushin Championship 2025, four competitors from Sentoki Burgas sports club will represent the country at the World Championship in Saudi Arabia.
