Igor Dyachenko (born June 15, 1981 in Kiev) is a Ukrainian karateka. When asked when he started learning karate, Igor has answered, "Since I remember myself." His father had decided to take karate classes to improve his spirits and physical condition one year after the explosion of the atomic reactor at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant where he worked. When Igor was six years old, his father began to show him basic karate moves. Later, Igor was assigned to the local karate school. During his athletic career, Igor Dyachenko has had many achievements, including world titles and both international and national competitions. He has practiced with coaches and athletes from Japan, Brazil, Yugoslavia, Slovenia, Hungary, Egypt, Azerbaijan, and of course Ukraine and USA. He also practices judo, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, boxing, and muay thai as a supplement to his regular karate training in order to become a complete fighter and take his skills to an even higher level. He believes that knowledge of other martial arts techniques helps to achieve a new, modern approach to the teaching and practicing of karate. Igor is a former member of the Ukrainian National Karate team and a former Funakoshi Shotokan Karate Association (FSKA) World Champion in the kumite division. In 2006, Igor Dyachenko established his own school, D-Dojo Karate, located in New York City. He is currently Sensei at D-Dojo Karate. ==Appearance on ''The Colbert Report''== On June 12, 2007 Igor Dyachenko appeared on ''The Colbert Report'' ((Video )) to help Colbert commemorate Ronald Reagan's historic Berlin Wall speech. To honor the event, Dyachenko broke an 1/8 inch plywood board symbolizing the Berlin Wall, broke a watermelon, and cut a piece of cake for Colbert. Colbert enjoyed Dyachenko's watermelon breaking feat so much that he repeatedly mentioned it in several subsequent episodes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Igor Dyachenko」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
