Fairway Nine Mall Hosts Ujian Karate 2025: Kyokushinkai Spirit Shines in Surabaya
On September 6, 2025, the Main Atrium, Level 2 of Fairway Nine Mall was transformed into a stage filled with focus, discipline, and determination. The occasion was the Ujian Karate by Kyokushinkai Fighter Indonesia, a grading event that brought together karateka of all ages to showcase their skills, earn their next belts, and embody the spirit of perseverance.
For many participants, this was more than just a test — it was a milestone in their martial arts journey. Surrounded by instructors, families, and visitors, each performance carried the values of respect, hard work, and unity that define the Kyokushinkai tradition.
The Ujian Karate 2025 highlighted the rigorous journey of Kyokushinkai karate, a full-contact martial art known for its strength, spirit, and philosophy of perseverance. Participants were evaluated through kihon (basic techniques), kata (forms), and kumite (sparring). Each stage demanded precision, control, and the ability to perform under pressure.
For younger karateka, stepping onto the tatami was a chance to gain confidence and prove their progress. For advanced practitioners, the exam was a true test of mastery and composure. The atmosphere was electric as judges observed closely, ensuring that every punch, kick, and stance reflected not only technique but also mental focus.
Each new belt awarded symbolized hours of training, resilience, and growth. Beyond ranks, the grading was about character — proving that karate shapes both strong bodies and strong minds.

Brotherhood Beyond the Tatami
What made the day special was not only the karate skills on display but also the sense of brotherhood that extended beyond the tatami.
Karateka encouraged each other before stepping up, applauded performances regardless of outcomes, and shared mutual respect across ages and belt levels. Parents watched proudly, instructors guided with patience, and even first-time spectators could feel the sense of unity within the community.
The Ujian Karate showed that martial arts is more than a sport — it is a family bound by shared values. The balance of discipline, rivalry, and support is what makes Kyokushinkai unique, and why the event left such a strong impression on everyone present.
