- Actually, I do not remember the good things I have done as I think you always need to act that way. I try to help my family and 

friends, and I try to be an example for my brother and sister.

Kemelbek: I was 9 years old when the trainer Nurbol-aga (black belt and 1

st

 dan in karate Nurbol Toishibayev) came to our 

school and suggested that we take up shito-ryi karate at the Zhastar sports club. 10 of us went down to sign up. Every training 

session is a test, and only those with stamina and character stayed with it. I am the only one from my class still doing karate. In 

addition to stamina, karate has taught me to keep calm, confident and given me an ability to make quick decisions.

I am an A student at grammar school №3. In the morning I go training, after lunch I go to school and in the evening I do 

my homework. I train three times a week for two hours. When I go in for competitions, I have to miss school, but the teachers 

understand and wait for me to come back with good results.

In 2012, I was named “Sportsman of the Year” and received a cash prize from the Kyzylorda Oblast Akim Kyrymbek Yeleuovich. 

That was my first cash prize, and I gave it to my parents. It was my contribution, as they say, to the family budget.

My parents have done everything to raise me healthy and strong, and I love them a lot. My father works for PetroKazakhstan 

Kumkol Resources on rotation basis. This year he and his colleagues won the Gold PetroKazakhstan President’s Award, and we are all 

very proud of him at home. If I compete during his time off, my father is always beside me. For example, he travelled with me to the 

Asian Championships in Hong Kong and to the World Championships in Tokyo. My mother keeps me calm and encourages me when 

I lose. And my grandfather Kablanbek, a former self-defence sportsman, is my greatest fan and is always proud of me when I win.

One of my favourite memory is my trip to Hong Kong in 2012 

to the Asian Shito-ryu Karate-do Kumite Championships. That was 

the first time I had seen a huge airport with its own metro! In Hong 

Kong, I came second, only losing to a fighter from Iran.

At the 2013 Tokyo Shito-ryu Karate-do Kumite World 

Championships I also won silver in my age category. This year, after 

becoming Kazakhstan champion for the third time, I was given a 

license to take part in the Asian Championship due to take place 

in Singapore in December 2014. All I need to do now is train hard 

for it!

What does Kemelbek want to achieve: When I grow up I 

would like to be a prosecutor. My uncle Batyrbek is a prosecutor 

and he is a role model for me. He has told me a lot about his job, 

saying it is not easy and also a very responsible job. I think that law 

and order are very important, and I want to be the guardian of law 

and order.

- Can you tell us a little about modern teenagers?

- I think that modern teenagers should play sport, be good students, follow a specific daily timetable, respect their elders (mine are 

the best and I love them), know the history of their own people and others’. Today’s teenagers have great opportunities, but I think 

they need to try not to spend time on rubbish, but do something useful. My weeks are full with studying, training and additional 

lessons. My father tells me that you need to be able to use your time correctly and value it, and a timetable helps with that.

Kyu in Japanese means a rating or level of achievement in martial arts. The lower the kyu number, the higher the achievement, so the 

highest is kyu 1. The number of kyu levels differs depending on directions, styles or schools. For example, karate goes from 10 to 1, judo - from 

6 to 1 kyu. A kyu is a level of apprenticeship.

Interestingly, but the levels, for example, in karate do not depend on sporting results. To reach the next level, the candidate needs to 

demonstrate kata mastery and the same in combat.

After kyu come the dan levels. They usually rise from 1 to 10, but in contrast to kyu, as proficiency rises, so does the dan number. The lowest 

dan number is 1, while the highest is 10.

The external attribute of any level is the belt. Each belt relates to a number of kyu. The lowest belt is the white belt, signifying in martial 

arts philosophy a lack of experience and an aspiration to learn. White belts are given to those new to the art. The next belt (in various orders 

depending on the type of martial art or school and so on) may be yellow, orange, green, blue or brown, sometimes with intermediary belts 

with additional stripes. The black belt is the final belt and signifies wisdom.

Alber Aman, 11 years old, Almaty

Father: Abyroy Baktygali, Manager, Health, Safety 

and Environment, PKOSI

Alber’s hobby: kyokushin karate, football, chess 

and poetry

Sporting achievements: yellow belt with one 

ribbon (6 of 10 belts passed) and 5-kyu

Awards:

Winner of the Howard Collins school championship 

(2011, 2012); participated in the Kyokushin karate 

world championships (Tokyo, Japan), finished in the 

top 10 (2011); winner of the kumite seminar of the 

Kyokushin Karate Association, winner of the M.Groza 

Almaty Oblast Shinkyokushin Karate Open, KATA 

category (2012); winner of a full-contact contest 

(2013).

Alber: My father helped me to choose karate. He has a black belt in taekwondo (ITF). I started doing karate when I was 7, but to tell 

you the truth, when my father took me to my first lesson, I did not like it at first. I was scared of sparring, the long training sessions and 

trainers. However, my father explained that it would turn me into a real man, i.e. make me brave and able to stand up for myself, my 

sister and younger brother. In time, I learnt not to be scared and began to enjoy training. My family always tells me that losing is not the 

end, but just something I should learn from. And I understand that the many hours I spent training, the number of sparring sessions and 

competitions I have are all steps towards the next kyu and belt. If you try really hard, you can reach the next kyu within a year, sometimes 

earlier. My trainer has really done a lot to help me develop, and it is thanks to his experience and strength that I have the victories I do.

Of course, I always enjoy winning, even just to justify the faith in me shown by my trainer and father. It is not always easy, and I 

understand that you need to be able to lose, and think of losing as a lesson so you do not make the same mistakes the next time. Every 

time I win, my family and I usually go to one of my favourite cafes.

I have been brought up to understand that you need to achieve everything in sport, studies and life. If I want a game or a gadget, I 

understand that I need to earn it by winning and achieving something, as adults need to earn the money to buy me things. I think that 

this always gives me the stimulus to win.

My father told me that this year’s PetroKazakhstan Olympics will be held in Almaty, and I would like to watch them. I believe that sport 

brings people closer, just like karate at school with me.

Sport is very important and now I know that it develops will power and will definitely help me achieve a lot when I grow up. Actually, 

sport is our family tradition as the boys all study martial arts, and the girls - gymnastics or dancing. My younger brother will also be going 

to dojo (edit. - karate school).

What does Alber want to achieve: In the future, when I have won all the awards in karate, I would like to play professional football 

for Bayern Munich, my favourite team.
