All already imagined that, after to be champion from the "World-wide Absolute one of Karatê Kyokushin Oyama", still in the end of the passed year, the life of the Brazilian fighter Ewerton Teixeira would suffer some changes. However, it was difficult to think that the transformations would arrive at such ratios. The conquest opened doors for other challenges in the career and, Teixeira, decided to accept a new route. In the dawn of yesterday, the fighter embarked for Japan, where he will initiate, beyond a new esportiva career, a total different life of that he was accustomed. After to sign a contract of three years, the Brazilian will dispute the K1 - main competition of kickboxer of the world -, and will leave, for a time, karatê in second plain. "I speak with all certainty that this was the decision most difficult of my life. I want to leave clearly, however, that I left karatê e temporarily, in 2011, I come back to try the world-wide bichampionship in the modality ", counted it before the trip. According to Teixeira, the time is of karatê will not go to confuse its possibilities of next heading in the World-wide one, since the competition, that happens of four in four years, will be only in 2012. "My contract finishes one year before happening new the World-wide one, therefore, it gives time to come back and to readjust me to the sport. This was one of my order, that the K1 did not confuse in no way karatê ", explained. The great transformation of its life counted on the approval of the family and its "shihan" (master), Seiji Isobe.

the translation is not quite accurate as he did not "ORDER that the K1 did not confuse in no way karate" he REQUESTED which has a HUGE difference... don't trust online translators... they might lead you to facts that are not true...
