IFK Bolivia Technical Update Course 2023
/In Bolivia, an IFK Karate update course took place on September 30th and October 1st, featuring the special visit of Shihan Germán Carballo from Uruguay.
This course was held in the Department of La Paz, in the city of El Alto, at an altitude of over 4050 meters above sea level. We had the participation of 40 enthusiastic students who had the valuable opportunity to learn from Shihan German during the two days of the course.
On Saturday, we began our activities in the morning, focusing on Kihon techniques and fundamental stances. In the afternoon, we progressed through the Syllabus, covering from the 6th Kyu to the 1st Kyu.
On Sunday morning, we practiced the Renrakus. In the afternoon, starting at 2:30 PM, a rigorous evaluation was conducted in which 7 candidates underwent the examination to attain the rank of 1st Dan. It was a challenging examination that extended until 6:30 PM, and in which 6 of the participants managed to pass.
To conclude this successful course, all students participated in kumite, which took place from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
IFK Bolivia is committed to implementing the IFK Kyokushin program, and we are deeply grateful for Shihan Germán Carballo's generous willingness to visit us.
