Shihan Teyub
Azizov – is the founder of International Kyokushinkai Karate (IKKF) Organization. He began studying
Kyokushinkai Karate in 1985. He was a pupil of Tanyushkin A.I. (ex-president of the USSR
Federation). Teyub Azizov took part in many Championships (International Tournaments, Championships
of Asia and Europe ). He won many Championships. He has graduated 3 higher Educational Institutions.
He founded the Azerbaijan Federation of Kyokushinkai Karate in 1994 and he is its president. He
often criticized unfair actions of International Kyokushinkai Karate (IKKF).
Teyub Azizov understood, it was high time to
found such organization for world people. In 2006 he took decisions to found the International
Kyokushinkai Karate Organization which president he was elected.
From the founder of IKKFI understood, it was
necessary to found a new organization which would serve rules and requirements that were composed by
our general teacher Sosai Masutatsu Oyama, the founder of Kyokushinkai Karate. Mr. Oyama was a
honest, purposeful and kind man. He loved people apart from their nationalism and religions. I was
young but I still remember his kind smile, his face and clever eyes. He was going to come to
Azerbaijan but the death stopped him. I was trying to know the secrets of Kyokushinkai Karate. I
wanted to be like the great teacher Sosai.
At the present time I am
Shihan but I am studying hard and I will be studying to the last sigh like our teacher Sosai
Masutatsu Oyama. He was the father of fighting art. After the master’s death many Shihans left the
organization and founded their organization. From one side it’s fine, because the science about
Kyokushinkai Karate widely develops, but from the other side, it’s badly. Some of the formed
organizations don’t develop Karate, they develop business. It counteracts the teaching of Sosai
Masutatsu Oyama. He dreamt about the real Karate. He found not only for one nation. He found it for
people all over the world. Kyokushinkai – is the world Karate. It is clear by interpretation of this
word Kyokushinkaikan (the society of the teachers of absolute truth).
Many international organizations became to
go to pieces. These are mistakes of these organizations leaders.
But I think, it’s time to found the real
Kyokushinkai Karate Organization (IKKF). When I founded the organization I had the following aims:
Develop Kyokushinkai
Karate.
Head for the
Organization and cooperate with the International Olympic Committee.
Kyokushinkai Karate was founded on the
base of budo (military). That’s why IKKF will cooperate with military International
Organizations.
IKKF will develop its
professional fights.
I as the
IKKF president will follow the fulfillment of the organization tasks. I will be very glad if you all
support me in this way.
With great respect IKKF president Teyub Azizov.
