The Nigerian Kyokushin Union (NKU) and its affiliate bodies International Budokai Union Kyodokyokushin (IBUK), United Federation of Martial Arts (UFMA) held an inter-school competition on December 2, 2023, which was a great success. Congratulations to Sensei Otun Ganiyu, the competition's head instructor, other instructors and the parents who contributed to the success of the recently concluded event.

To every student who competed but did not win, we say don't give up, keep fighting, keep pushing, and keep the Kyokushin spirit moving, and you will undoubtedly smile soon.

To those who won, congratulations on your medals and trophies, but bear in mind that it is easy to win and become a champion, but it is much more difficult to keep it. Therefore to remain a champion, you must continue to train hard and now harder, push yourself, and persevere and keep the Kyokushin spirit alive.

Congratulations to all of the instructors who worked so hard to bring out the best in all of their students, especially those who competed. Congratulations once more. Keep up the fantastic work, never give up, and keep the Kyokushin spirit alive.
