Place: KO Fight Studio, WKO Bangladesh Honbu Dojo, Dhaka, Bangladesh
Organizer: WKO Bangladesh (Branch Chief Abdullah Mohammad Hossain)
On December 13th, 2025, WKO Bangladesh conducted its year-end Kyu Grading at the Honbu Dojo, KO Fight Studio in Dhaka. The day began in the early morning at 9:00 AM with a rigorous 3 km endurance run for the Green Belt candidates. This outdoor test of stamina and mental focus served as a prelude to the intensive examination that followed, setting a serious tone for the day’s proceedings.
The official grading commenced at 10:00 AM under the direct supervision of Shihan Abdullah Mohammad Hossain, President and Branch Chief of WKO Shinkyokushinkai Bangladesh. For the 14 participants involved, the day was an exhaustive test of their technical progression and adherence to Shinkyokushin standards. The evaluation covered every essential pillar of our training, from the precision of Kihon and Ido to the focus required in Kata and the power demonstrated during Tameshiwari.
The climax of the grading was the Kumite rounds, where each participant faced up to 8 rounds of full-contact kumite. This final phase pushed the students to their physical and mental limits, requiring them to demonstrate the “Osu” spirit and resilience that defines Shinkyokushinkai. The grading concluded at 6:00 PM, marking eight hours of relentless effort. Shihan Abdullah’s oversight throughout the day ensured that every candidate met the high technical and spiritual requirements expected by the World Karate Organization.
Shihan Abdullah Mohammad Hossain commended the participants for their unwavering resolve, particularly noting the high level of spirit displayed during the 8 rounds of Kumite. He expressed that seeing such dedication reinforces the growth of Shinkyokushinkai in Bangladesh and ensures that the branch continues to produce practitioners of the highest caliber.
