I already repeatedly was in Holland for last 10 years, and all my trips have been connected to participation in sports competitions – adults and, that is especially important, nurseries. (The matter is that Holland – one of few countries of Europe in whom contact duels at children and teenagers are allowed. But this trip was for me especial.

First, my pupils participated any more in the Championship of Holland, and in 19 Championship of Europe on kikushin versions “Kamakura” which the last some years are carried out under aegis of International Organization budo (International Budokai, IBK).

Second, for the last some years of work on a telechannel “Fighter” I have so in details studied a history of the Dutch single combats, the leading clubs leading trainers and fighters, their features, a manner of fight, etc., that tested huge desire personally to get acquainted with people which I so well know in absentia.
And, on the end as representative IF FCF, I am interested with an opportunity of cooperation of the largest Dutch clubs with international federation IF-FCF.

As to the Championship of Europe it has collected fighters of 8 countries from more than 10 various organizations, and not only kikushin, but also thaw – boxing, a mix – fight. The championship of Europe on kikushin really is unique competition and always open for all. I do not know where still there can be among themselves representatives of completely various kinds of single combats by rules nokdaun karate. In due time in it participated such world famous a mix – fighters, as Gilbert Ajvel, Bean Shriber, Irma Fehof. It is possible, that in the future somebody and from Federation PRB will decide to participate in this interesting event.

In result both I of the pupil – Timur Pipiy and Anna Vishnjakova became prize-winners of the Championship of Europe. For them trip on it came to an end, and for me only began. I have put to myself a task to visit all largest clubs of Amsterdam, and, at an opportunity, and to be trained

But for the beginning I have in details communicated to heads of club ” Kamakura ” (and he is based by three brothers It is proud) which is located in Hague. Before tournament we managed even to be trained in “Kamakura”.

Unfortunately, with the head of club and Kancho IBK the world famous fighter Gerard It is proud (3 it is given IKO, 3 dan Oyama karate, 7 dan Seysindoru, 9 dan budokan) to communicate it was not possible – he was in hospital. And it is a pity! This person – a legend! he was the participant of three absolute world championships on kikushin at life Oyama, became the world champion on savat, the champion of Europe on Thai to boxing, won European tournaments and-1, participated in the first UFC.

But it was possible to communicate to his brother Hansi Niko It is proud (8 dan) which has told a lot of interesting about club. “Kamakura”, as well as all Dutch club, develops and karate, both the thaw – boxing, and a mix – fight, but as against other known clubs stakes, all the same, on karate.

Further my way laid to Amsterdam, in clubs « Big three »: the Chakuriki-press, the Medgiro-press and the Vos-press. All these clubs have been based in 70-s’ years and in all of them champions и-1 Gran have been brought up at!

All over again we have visited Medgiro jim. The club (as well as the Vos-press) is located in the center of Amsterdam. This club has been based in 1975 Yan Plas which trained in Japan at Kendji Kurosaki (10 dan it is considered one of founders of a kickboxing) in area Medzhiro, Tokyo, and has received from Kurosaki the sanction so to name the club. Moreover, Kurosaki some time even veins in Holland also was supervised by this club. In this club have been brought up one of the best kik tai fighters the world of Uniforms Kaman, Remi Bonyaski (has left club in 2006), Peter Aerts during the period when he left from Chakuriki, Lusen Karben, Bob Shraiber, Yohan Vos (the founder the Vos-press) and tens stars of a level of champions of Europe here trained. From present stars it is possible to name Andy Sauera (К-1). Willem Brjunekrif – pioneer Ashihara and Seidokai in Europe here taught. Now the main trainer of club is his pupil Andre Manaart, the numerous world champion and Europe on a kickboxing.

Unfortunately, to be trained there it was not possible that our schedule did not coincide with the schedule of trainings. But we have looked training and have communicated with Andre Manaart

About the Shakuriki-press to me has carried much more. I there have had an opportunity high-grade trainings. The club is located in new own building nearby (to the Moscow measures) from the center.

Shakuriki – the oldest club of Holland, is based in 1972 by Volume Харинком which invariable heads club and conducts trainings till now (and to him 73 years!).

It was interesting to speak with him. And the Volume, having understood, that I is in detail informed on his achievements and achievements of his fighters, saw tens fights with their participation, “has unexpectedly lit up” and has led me with excursion on club, stopping at each of tens posters and photos on walls.

In club such superstars as Branko Cikatich (the champion of the first 1 gran are brought up At in 93 year), Peter Aerts (3 times champion 1 Gran At, the participant of all 16 final tournaments!!!), Lloyd Van Dam, Gilbert Ballantajn, Peri Ubeda and tens more stars of the European and world level.

I have got in group to itself Harink. His son and one assistant assisted him. In group there were fighters of a good level, and champions of the past – I assisted, for example, got in a pair to former World champion Fazelu Reddingu. It was necessary uneasy, but it was very interesting. And simultaneously in a hall under the individual program Anderson Silva which has arrived on training in club trained!!!

Simultaneously with Shakuriki I visited(attended) also third club « Big three » – the Вос-press. The Вос-press is based in 1979 by the pupil of Medjiro-press Yohan Vos.

In club champion и-3 (so referred to1 max earlier) Ivan Hipolit, world champions Vinsent Velvoy Michel Aboro, Djerel Venetian and tens others is brought up such superstars as 4 multiple Champion 1 Grand prix Arnesto Hust, not defeated Champion Lusia Riyker.

Over club Ajvan Hippolit, the world champion on tai box WVNC, MTBN, WKA, K-3, the champion of Europe on savat now supervises.

Under his management I trained in club. And the level of teaching was very high. The truth a level of fighter-partners here was lou than in Shakuriki.

Interest of the Dutch colleagues to my offers on cooperation with IF FCF was pleasant. We have agreed to continue this conversation in May of this year, after my trip to clubs MMA to Finland.
Finishing the story, I want to tell, that for me and there was unopened a riddle of victorious traditions of the Dutch clubs. Usual halls, the usual trainings, the open people which are not hiding the secrets. And nevertheless, year after year the Dutch fighters win on a plenty of the largest tournaments on all possible contact: karate, tai box, a mix – fight, djudo, and many others. There is in it any riddle. Also there is something, that in it very much makes related our Russian fighters with Dutchs.
