Osu,

Shihan Makoto Nakamura is one of the most disciplined Kyokushinkai fighters I have seen. In a World Tournament fight he was matched against a tall heavy built fighter who executed a lot of hiza geris with clinches against him, the fight became quiet messy when even dogis started to get pulled and torn. Take downs, pulls and pushes, made life difficult for the referee. But Shihan stayed true to form and maintained his composure.

In the end Shihan's opponent was disqualified for continuous disregard of the referee's warnings and point deductions.

Shihan Makoto Nakamura has exemplified the attitude and character of a great Karateka.

Proud to be Kyokushinkai. Osu!
