SENSHI 22: A Night of Epic Fights with Special Guest Shihan Akira Masuda

Special Guest at SENSHI 22 "The Last Samurai" Akira Masuda

The excitement is building for SENSHI 22, the newest edition of the professional fight gala night, happening on July 6th at 6:30 PM EET/11:30 AM EST. The stunning beach of the "St. St. Constantine and Helena" resort in Varna, Bulgaria, will be transformed into a grand gladiatorial arena, hosting elite fighters from around the globe.

This electrifying event will feature 13 thrilling bouts, including eight professional matches and the finals of the KWU SENSHI World Cup for amateurs. Fans can expect massive action, surprises, and an unforgettable martial arts showcase. Tickets are available now at Eventim.bg.

Bulgaria's own Atanas Bozhilov and Eduard Aleksanyan will defend their European SENSHI titles against formidable opponents. Adding to the excitement, Dragomir Petrov will make his long-awaited return to the SENSHI ring after a six-month hiatus, while Delyan Georgiev faces off against an experienced Brazilian fighter in a high-stakes KWU Open Rules match.

One of the biggest names in martial arts, Shihan Akira Masuda, will grace the event as a special guest. Known as “The Last Samurai,” Shihan Masuda is one of the few in Kyokushin history to conquer the grueling “100-man kumite” challenge, completing the feat in 1991 by defeating all 100 opponents in just 3 hours and 22 minutes. A living legend, he will also attend the XVIII International Summer Martial Arts Camp 2024 in Bulgaria, inspiring fans and fighters alike.

SENSHI 22 will also welcome KWU SENSHI referees and instructors Semmy Schilt, Ernesto Hoost, and Albert Kraus, alongside world-renowned martial arts masters Shihan Francisco Filho, Shihan Glaube Feitosa, Sensei Everton Teixeira, Sensei Tariel Nikoleishvili, and Sensei Zahari Damyanov.

SENSHI 22 promises an evening of unparalleled martial arts action, unforgettable performances, and surprises that will leave fans in awe. Secure your tickets today and witness this spectacular event live in Varna, Bulgaria!

Don't miss SENSHI Gala 22 – a clash of strength, will, and fighting spirit on the beach under the stars at St. St. Constantine and Helena on July 6th.

The SENSHI Gala 22 is organized in cooperation with the KWU International Professional League, as well as with the special support of Armeec Insurance Company, MAX Sport, Bulgaria Air, M Car Group – BMW dealer, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Service and St. St. Constantine and Helena Holding.
