XIV IFK Uruguay Summer Camp + new Kuro Obis Nidan

The 14th Summer Camp IFK Kyokushin Uruguay took place on March 6-9, 2025. 

As in previous years, Dojos from different cities of our organization gathered to celebrate being able to train in person together. Training sessions started before sunrise and continued throughout the day, with additional sessions at night. Different scenarios, including the beach, tatami, grass and a special one surrounding a forest made this a unique experience. 

This year we had participants from Montevideo, Mercedes, Dolores, Salto, Cardona, Marindia, San Carlos and students from Brazil too. In addition to the 11 sessions, special training and meetings were held for instructors and advanced kyus. 

Exams for DAN grades were held, with 3 of our colleagues successfully earning their 2nd DAN. Shihan Germán Carballo from Uruguay and Shihan Jeovaldo from Brazil were the Instructors for this event. 

Like every Summer Camp, this one left us with unique memories that will be treasured for years to come, and anecdotes that we will share over time! 

On behalf of everyone, I want to thank each of the participants for their time, commitment and dedication; and above all for the positive energy at all times. Families are also to be thanked for their continued support, as well as the instructors for their dedication and commitment. 

We will see each other in 2026 for our XV Summer Camp!
