IBK All-Round Fighting of Jon Bluming, Kaicho

Country Members

The legacy of Jon Bluming - “Without Kokoro, Budo is an empty shell.”
Kokoro - “heart; mind; mentality; emotions; feelings”
Predating Mixed Martial Arts (M.M.A.) by many years, All-Round Fighting (Kyokushin Budokai Sogo Budo) was the brainchild of our Founder (Kaiso) and President (Kaicho) Jon Bluming, who combined his knowledge of various Japanese martial arts into a well-rounded fighting system.
At the time it was revolutionary and even the most ardent traditional purist had to acknowledge its effectiveness.
It is his martial arts legacy that we, as the All-Round Fighting division of the International Martial Arts Association (Kokusai Budo Kaikan), proudly represent worldwide…
The Kokusai Budo Kaikan (also known as the International Budo Kaikan – IBK) came into being to encompass the fighting philosophy of our Founder (Kaiso) Jon Bluming (1933-2018).
Jon Bluming was a man who’s understanding of real fighting was forged in the fires of actual combat.
This allowed him to create a unique martial art with its roots fusing Kyokushin Full Contact Karate and Judo, to form one of the world’s first mixed martial arts system.
Historically, Jon Bluming Kaiso began training in the martial arts before it became the worldwide phenomena today.
Today the International Budo Kaikan All Round Fighting division is headed by Kancho Eric Van Vaerenbergh and guided by Special Advisors Hanshi Tom Madsen & Hanshi Marc Howes

Led by Kancho Eric Van Vaerenbergh
