– We were angry, to say the least. There was laughter and she was very upset. This is what Monica Rognhaug tells news after her daughter Mia Rognhaug Hagen (17) does not have the opportunity to practice her sport karate at an international level. – Not getting the opportunity to compete in major championships makes me angry and frustrated, says Mia herself. – I can’t actually sleep at night because I think so badly of my daughter who has worked so incredibly determinedly since she was 11 years old for this, says the mother. – It is annoying and very frustrating. We the athletes are the sport. They have to focus on us, says Thea Hodneland in Vikingene karate in Bergen to news. – There is a crisis Because there has been a long time of discord in Karate-Norway, as news has previously mentioned. Now the conflict between the Norwegian Martial Arts Association and the relatively newly established Norwegian Karate Association has escalated further. The Karate Association started a separate special association in the spring so that karate athletes could compete in championships such as the European Championship and the World Cup. They could not do that when they were under the Martial Arts Association. The reason is that the Martial Arts Association does not follow the rules set by the International Karate Federation (WKF). LOSING COMPETITIONS: Mia Rognhaug Hagen, here during the EC on 18 June, on her own birthday. Photo: PRIVAT But when the Karate Association wanted to stand on its own two feet in order to compete, the Martial Arts Association took action. The Karate Association believes that the Martial Arts Association is now threatening clubs in Norway with the loss of funding and sports facilities if they do not opt \u200b\u200bout of the newly established Karate Association. news has received documentation from several Norwegian clubs where the Martial Arts Association refuses further membership, if you are a member of the Karate Association. – There is a crisis, karate president Kjell Sivertsen describes the situation for the athletes affiliated with clubs in the Karate Association. – The very pissed off Karate president calls the whole thing an “abuse of power” and believes that the Martial Arts Association, which is under the Norwegian Sports Confederation, is deliberately sabotaging the sport of karate. In Sentrum karateklubb in Sarpsborg, Rognhaug Hagen’s club, they have no other choice but to choose the Martial Arts Association in order for the club to survive. Thus, at the moment, they do not get to test themselves against international opposition in the EC and a possible WC. – I am very angry and sad. It’s so … I’d rather come up with some words now, says a clearly affected mother Rognhaug. – I thought it was a shame that adults in the Norwegian Martial Arts Association should decide my future as a karate practitioner. I only want peace to do what I love more than anything else. Compete in karate, says Mia Rognhaug. And there are several athletes who are frustrated. In Vikingene, the club is currently under the Karateforbundet. Then there is an opportunity to compete internationally, but it will be difficult if you lose the funds that the Kampsportforbundet offers. FRUSTRATED YOUNG PEOPLE: Andreas Arda Straume (17), Thea Hodneland (18) and Henrikke Tuvin (15) in Bergen. Photo: Jim-Rune V\u00e5gheim – It is difficult for us to plan and set goals when we do not know how we can achieve them and whether we have the opportunity to test ourselves, says Andreas Arda Straume in Vikingene Karate. – We don’t have the same opportunities as we had before. The conflict actually affects us very negatively. We have lost cohesion in a previously small sport, says Henrikke Tuvin of the same club. – The split made it very uncertain who we were going to train with. It has gone far beyond competitions, which are a very important part of the training, says Thea Hodneland. – Have given them a last chance Already in April, the Martial Arts Association decided that the clubs could not have dual membership, and justified this with NIF’s Act \u00a7 14-6 on “competition bans”. The decision was supported by the confederation’s parliament in June, and then the Martial Arts Association set about identifying which clubs were also members of the Karate Association. – We have given them every opportunity over a long period to declare that they are a member and to choose which association they want to belong to, says Acting Secretary General of the Martial Arts Association Vegard Henriksen to news. On 27 September, the Martial Arts Association sent out advance notices to 32 clubs about the withdrawal of membership, and on 22 October those who were still registered were doubly expelled. MUST TEST AGAINST EACH OTHER: The athletes in the Vikingen Karate Club cannot participate in international competitions, as they have been expelled from the Martial Arts Association. Photo: Jim-Rune V\u00e5gheim An eviction can have major financial and sporting consequences for the clubs, which may lose training facilities and funding from the state. – We have given them one last opportunity to understand the seriousness and decide where they want to be a member. I suspect that several clubs will opt out during the next week and there will be a small number of clubs left with the Karate Association, he says. – Are you playing a high game by banning certain clubs? – We believe that it is a significantly greater advantage to be a member with us than with them. I think the clubs will eventually see that too. We would like to keep everyone as members, says Henriksen of the Martial Arts Association. Sivertsen in the Karate Association fears that young karate practitioners will be injured as a result of the conflict. – This must in no way come at the expense of them or the rental of premises for our clubs. It is not acceptable at all, he says. – Unnecessary bickering The Swedish Sports Confederation also shows concern towards the athletes. In an e-mail to news, they say that they have a clear expectation that the Martial Arts Association, the Karate Association and WFK “find solutions that protect the athletes”. You can read the full response from NIF to news here: Response from the Norwegian Sports Confederation about the situation by communications manager Finn Aagaard: “It is the special confederations which, according to the Norwegian sports regulations, are the highest professional authority in the area of \u200b\u200btheir sport. NIF has therefore been clear to the relevant parties in the case; The Norwegian Martial Arts Association, the Norwegian Karate Association, and the World Karate Federation, that we have a clear expectation that the responsible organizations will find solutions that protect the athletes in this situation. This has been communicated in writing from NIF to the three organisations. When it comes to the allocation of local activity funds, it is the sports councils that distribute these funds to teams and associations. The sports councils have, within the framework of the Ministry of Culture’s guidelines, the opportunity to consider allocating such funds to clubs that are not members of the Norwegian Sports Confederation. When it comes to access to training facilities, it is the owner of the premises who decides which organizations should have access to them. Sports teams in NIF own their own premises, rent from private parties, and have access to public facilities. In the same way that there is no automaticity in that sports teams in NIF get access to training facilities, there is naturally no automaticity in that sports teams that lose membership in NIF will be left without access to training facilities.” That the athletes must be shielded is also stated in a letter signed by sports president Berit Kj\u00f8ll sent to the international association, which news has gained access to. – We try as far as possible to ensure that they are not harmed. For us, it’s very simple: We want everyone who practices martial arts to be a member with us, says Henriksen of the Martial Arts Association. On 31 October they were formally stripped of their membership in the WKF. The martial arts federation is considering appealing the decision, but is currently far from being approved by the international federation, as they are adamant about retaining styles in martial arts that the WKF does not approve. The karate community has a message on behalf of the athletes: – My advice is to see it from our perspective and realize how unnecessary this type of arguing is. Talk together and start a communication between both parties. They have to put the athletes in focus, quite simply, says Hodneland in Vikingene. – The past year has been an emotional roller coaster. My daughter has been determined since day one. Already when she was 11 years old, she wrote a note on the inside of her room, says mother Rognhaug. On the note were two letters: WC.
