Kancho Hatsuo Royama was impressed by the organisation of the karate camp. “The first thing that I noticed in Bulgaria was the big scale of Kyokushin Karate. Everybody here is very serios about practicing Kyokushin. And this makes me happy. The whole world knows who the best nationalities in Kyokushin are – Russia, Bulgaria and Japan. I hope that you will continue practicing even harder and you will set an example for the others to follow.”
