K-1 Connects with Local Community at Shibuya Festival 2025

The K-1 Executive Committee is excited to announce its participation in the 48th Shibuya District's "Furusato Shibuya Festival 2025." This major event will take place on November 1st and 2nd, 2025, in the Yoyogi Park athletic area, marking an opportunity for K-1 to further engage with the local community.

During the festival, K-1 trainers and fighters will lead sessions that allow attendees to experience the joy of fitness through K-1. The festival serves as a vibrant celebration of Shibuya in autumn, and K-1 athletes will offer kickboxing experiences for everyone—regardless of age or skill level. Whether you're a child or an adult, beginners will feel welcomed and safe.

A unique aspect of the K-1 booth on both days is the opportunity for participants to step into the ring with professional trainers to learn basic punching and kicking techniques. These sessions are completely free, providing a great way for attendees to connect with the sport and its culture. Don’t miss out on this chance to snap photos with fighters and feel the excitement of K-1 up close!

Special Performance and Meet-and-Greet

On November 2nd, from 14:25 to 14:45, attendees can enjoy a live performance on the outdoor stage featuring K-1 Producer Genki Sudo and top fighter Rui Okubo, who will showcase their skills in a public performance. This is a rare opportunity to witness the power and precision of K-1 techniques live. Plus, there's a chance to win signed merchandise for those who attend!
