WATERPOORT CUP 2009
In total 170 karateka’s under the age of 18 participated in 31 different poules in the divisions Kids 8-11 years), Cadets (12-15 years, and Juniors (16-17 years). You could see a nice built up in technique, stamina and kime during the progress of the poules. Especially in the junior categories there were some beautiful fights. One of the main characteristics of the Waterpoort Cup is the fact that the karatekas in the kids, cadets and junior divisions fought their bouts in a poule system. This differs from the ‘normal’ Kyokushin elimination system. During the Waterpoort Cup the junior participants are given more chances of gaining (international) kumite experience because they can play at least 2 or three bouts. In the senior tournament nearly 55 karatekas participated in five weight categories. Especially the men’s lightweight and men’s heavy weight division were fully packed. One of the nicest, highly skilled fights of the tournament was the women’s lightweight final between Julita Burczynska from Poland and Nathaliya Mutina from Ukraine. The overall feel of the tournament - with 375 fights -, was that it was strictly about sports, no politics involved, just nice and highly skilled fights in good and friendly atmosphere. This year we were extra pleased of welcoming new teams from Ukraine and France with many good fighters. Facts & figures per divsion Following you can find all facts and figures about the past tournament. One of the main objectives of the junior tournament is that 50% of the competitors returns home with a trophy. In the figure below you can see the statistics per division.
