To all Kyokushin-kan Branch Chiefs:

In the future when you invite Kancho to your International Tournaments, please send us your information and we will do our best to promote your tournament here as we have done for Sensei Brezovai. Please remember that a Continental Cup (European Cup for example) should be approved at least three months in advance by Regional Chairman and Honbu.

 

 

Help us to welcome Hungary to Kyokushin-kan!

Until this year Sensei Brezovai was a country representative of Kyokushinkaikan under Matsui Shokei where he remained faithfully, despite discontent, believing that it was his duty to Mas Oyama. Over the years, however, it became clear to him that Mas Oyama would not have approved of that path, and in December 2006 he resigned and asked to be admitted to Kyokushin-kan under Kancho Royama. For him this is the only choice given that Kancho Royama is in his mind the best surviving image of the budo spirit of Mas Oyama.

Sensei Brezovai began his Kyokushin training in 1982 and was a member of the Hungarian adult team for 12 years. He became champion of two European Championships and placed several other times in the top-ten. He was Hungarian Champion seven times and among the best-32 in the World Tournament in Tokyo in 1991. In 1990 Sensei Brezovai became an uchi deshi of Mas Oyama in the Young Lion's Dormitory where he remained for four months. He has had his own dojo since 1991, but opened the Oyama Dojo Sports Complex in Szentes in 1996.

When Sosai died in 1994, Sensei Brezovai became country representative for IKO under Matsui's Kyokushinkaikan, and organized the 2001 European Championship with huge success. At that time he dedicated a memorial park to Sosai in Hungary, widely believed to be the finest in the world outside of Japan.

Sensei Brezovai is now 39 years old and his 14-year-old son, Botund, is already many times Hungarian Champion in his junior divisions.
