Amsterdam 18 december 2018,


I just have received the message that last night my dear friend and Kaicho of the International Budo Kaikan the man who brought Kyokushin Full Contact Karate to Europe and who has spread it, after a longe illness died yesterday evening . 

It was an honor to be his friend and his student in All-Round Fighting and I am happy to work close with him for many years. 
My thoughts go out to his wife and children and want to condole them in this way!

Vanmorgen bereikte mij het bericht, dat gisteravond om 22:15 uur mijn goede vriend, onze Kaicho van de Internatinal Budo Kaikan de man die het Kyokushin Full Contact Karate naar Europa heeft gebracht en heeft verspreid na een langdurig ziekbed is overleden.

Het was een eer om zijn vriend en zijn All-Round Fighting leerling te zijn en met hem te zeer nauw te mogen samenwerken.

Mijn gedachten gaan uit naar zijn vrouw en kinderen en wil hen langs deze weg condoleren.

Osu!

To whom it may concern:


Many of you are aware of my health problems. Recently it has declined to the point that I felt it necessary to put together a Board for the Kyokushin Budokai All Round Fighting. This Board will take on all the required work to promote the interests of the IBK with its Budo traditions.

This is my wish that the IBK will stay as one global organisation, but with two distinct components, which will work together.

These components are:

- Kyokushin Full Contact Karate
- Kyokushin Budokai All-Round Fighting

The IBK Board members have been personally selected by me.
The Kyokushin Full Contact Karate section is represented by Kancho Jan de Bruin.
The Kyokushin Budokai All-Round Fighting section is represented by 
Kancho Eric Van Vaerenbergh, Hanshi Tom Madsen and Hanshi Marc Howes.

Any questions should be directed to the appointed members of the IBK Boards.
Or if important you can contact me.

Bear hugs,
Kaicho Jon Bluming
