In the run-up to the opening of the Alley of Glory, renowned champions gave several master classes to support young athletes. One of the most memorable was the performance of Evgeny Mamro. After all, Kyokushin is one of the most difficult and hardest karate varieties. According to the athlete, not only reaction speed, strength of blows and incredible endurance are important here, but also slyness.

Sensei demonstrated his signature techniques to the students, told them how to confuse the opponent with the help of eye contact and taught a yoko geri strike, which is almost impossible to dodge. However, it is not easy to master it, especially for beginners, but everyone tried their best.

"Yes, the technique is complicated, but in order for you to grow, young fighters, you need to know and be able to do all this!" Mamro encouraged the kids.

There were experienced karate fighters among the participants of the master class, many could boast of brown and even black belts. And Elizaveta Borodkina at the age of 18 is already the champion of Russia in Kyokushin. Having noticed the titled student, sensei offered her to demonstrate kata - a sequence of movements and blows as if in a battle with an imaginary opponent.

"The master class was very interesting, it was a pleasure to perform myself and, of course, to learn the skills from Evgeny Mamro. Although all the moves were familiar to me, still each coach has a different technique, so it is very useful", - shared her emotions the athlete.
