An Ura Mawashi which he has the secret a few seconds from the end has allowed the Italian Luigi Busa to claim victory in the 1st Karate 1 for a year disputed without Japan and France. The Turks and Iranians are already appearing in top form. Nice win for Elsawy. Results and podiums.

Le quintuple champion du monde, Gilles Cherdieu, a été nommé DTN le 1er février dernier. A quelques mois des JO de Tokyo, pour lesquels la France compte pour l’heure un seul qualifié, Steven Da Costa, il aborde les enjeux qui attendent l’équipe de France et la méthode qu’il compte mettre en place, avec toutes les inconnues liées à l’évolution du Covid-19.

The 2021 Istanbul Premier League starts tomorrow Friday 12 (until Sunday). 1st Karate 1 for a year, it’s much more than a simple revival, it’s the 1st stage of the home stretch leading to the Olympics, even if it’s not a qualifying event. Less than 5 months before the Games, test the distance, taste the sensations, smell the competition, observe the opposition. There is a challenge for champions ! They are all announced in Istanbul, or almost, Japan, England and France have declined the invitation. Stakes and draws.

We haven’t seen them in action for a year or so. They were happy to do so last week-end near Paris for some friendly test-matches. Friendly but still competitive as they all like to win. The World champions Ivan Kvesic, Dorota Banaszczyk and Steven Da Costa, but also Timothy Petersen, Abdesselem, Garin, Avazeri, Bouderbane, Jacquet, Jessie Da Costa, Filali and Sivert offer us great Ura Mawashi, sweeps, Mawashi, Kizami…
