On 2 August 2026, IFK Kyokushin Mauritius will proudly host its 14th IFK National Knockdown Tournament at the SSS Quartier Militaire Girls Gymnasium. More than 200 competitors, from 3 years old to over 70, will take part, representing every level of experience, from beginners making their first appearance to elite competitors and veteran fighters.
The tournament follows the traditions of Kyokushin Knockdown Karate, a full-contact competition that rewards courage, technique, endurance, fighting spirit, and respect. It is one of the purest expressions of Kyokushin, where competitors test themselves through determination and discipline.
For many years, IFK Kyokushin Mauritius has continued to raise the standard of Kyokushin karate in Mauritius through dedication, discipline, and consistent development. With more than 30 IFK dojos across the island and over 200 registered IFK fighters, the federation has built one of the strongest and most active Kyokushin communities in the country.
One of IFK’s proudest achievements is being the only Kyokushin federation in Mauritius to successfully organise a national tournament on three tatamis, featuring 200 fighters only IFK members. This reflects the federation’s depth, organisation, and the continued growth of its athletes year after year.
