KWU SENSHI is proud to announce the launch of the KWU SENSHI Global Uchideshi Program — a new international initiative offering dedicated martial artists the opportunity to train directly with some of the most respected living legends of Kyokushin.

The program is designed for serious practitioners who want to go beyond the traditional seminar format and experience focused, personal training under the guidance of world-class Kyokushin champions.

Unlike large public camps and seminars, the KWU SENSHI Global Uchideshi Program provides a more intensive and individual approach. Participants will have the opportunity to work closely with their chosen instructor and develop their technique, physical conditioning, mental strength and understanding of martial arts philosophy.

The first instructors joining the program are:

Shihan Ryu Narushima — Japan
Training with Shihan Ryu Narushima offers participants the opportunity to experience direct instruction rooted in Japanese Kyokushin tradition, with a strong focus on technique, physical development, mental strength and martial philosophy.

Shihan Francisco Filho — Brazil
Participants can train under the guidance of one of the most renowned Kyokushin World Champions. His Uchideshi program combines technical development, intensive physical preparation, mental discipline and the principles that shaped his career at the highest level of martial arts.

Sensei Tariel Nikoleishvili — Georgia
The program in Georgia provides intensive Kyokushin training focused on technique, physical preparation, mental development and martial philosophy under the direct guidance of a proven world-class champion.

Sensei Zahari Damyanov — Bulgaria
Participants will have the opportunity to train directly with one of Bulgaria’s most accomplished Kyokushin champions. The program focuses on the development of the body and mind, technical improvement and a deeper understanding of Kyokushin philosophy.

For each instructor, participants can choose between several program durations:

3 days / 1 week / 2 weeks / 4 weeks

This flexible format allows martial artists to select the option that best matches their goals, experience and available time while still benefiting from direct instruction and close contact with the instructor.

The Uchideshi tradition represents much more than attending regular training sessions. It is built around dedication, discipline, personal development and learning directly from the teacher. Through the KWU SENSHI Global Uchideshi Program, this traditional concept is being brought to an international level, creating opportunities for practitioners from different countries to train with leading figures of modern Kyokushin.

Participation is arranged through the respective national or country representative. Applicants should contact their representative directly to receive information about availability, conditions and the application process.

With the launch of the KWU SENSHI Global Uchideshi Program, KWU SENSHI continues its mission to preserve the values and traditions of Kyokushin while giving the next generation of martial artists direct access to the knowledge, experience and philosophy of world-class champions.
