The Kazakhstan national team consists of three Karaganda players – coach Stanislav Poludinsky and his students Yersultan Akhmet and Amir Taushiev. According to the results of the championship, Nursultan became the winner in the category of 12-13 years up to 40 kilograms, and Stanislav Poludinsky also took first place in the category "+40 ABS". Yersultan is a two–time Asian champion in Kyokushin karate and a multiple winner of competitions at various levels.

– We performed well on the world stage. Yersultan took first place in heavy fights, fought seven fights and literally pulled out every score. It would have been impossible to achieve such a result without the experience of previous tournaments," says Stanislav Poludinsky.

Amir Taushiev also demonstrated his desire for victory and fighting spirit at the championship. He had intense fights and fought worthily to get out further, but lost to his opponent in extra time by the decision of the judges.

Both young athletes are in the fifth grade. They have been practicing all-round karate together since they were four years old. The preparation for the championship was intensive and included up to twelve training sessions per week.
