After the training session, we held a dinner gathering to welcome the Italian team.

It was a wonderful time enjoying food and conversations together.

We are truly grateful for this international exchange and look forward to seeing the bonds within the IJKA family grow even stronger. ✨

We were honored to welcome the Italian team to Yokohama for a joint karate training session.

It was a wonderful opportunity to practice together and strengthen our friendship through karate.

We sincerely thank the Italian team for visiting Japan, and we look forward to sharing more international exchanges with our IJKA members worldwide.

We are pleased to welcome new members to the International Japan Karate-Do Association. The Italian team visited Japan, and we had a wonderful time together. We’ll be sharing highlights from Yokohama soon.

Dear all who supported IJKA European Championship and seminars in Bulgaria

Thank you for the success of the IJKA European Championships and seminars.

I am extremely pleased that the IJKA European Championships and seminars, organized by IJKA Bulgaria, concluded with such a great success. This was all thanks to the leadership of IJKA Bulgaria Representative Anton Vandev Sensei, Emil Dimitrov sensei, Ivan Todorov sensei and the cooperation of all the IJKA Bulgaria instructors, competitors and everyone involved. I would like to express our sincere gratitude.

The IJKA Headquarters will use it to further strengthen ties with IJKA European countries and to do our utmost to promote and develop IJKA worldwide.

IJKA Japan HQ is pleased to announce that Headquarters instructor Shosuke Watanabe (4th Dan) will be dispatched to the IJKA European Championship in Bulgaria to be held this July. 

Here is the message from IJKA Chief Instructor Utsumi Takato

 I am very happy that the IJKA Open European Championship will be held in Bulgaria. 

I would like to thank IJKA Bulgaria Representative Anton Sensei, President Emil Sensei, and all the Bulgarian instructors who have been preparing for the tournament for a long time. 

Last year, Anton Vandev Sensei and two trainees came to Japan from Bulgaria and took a one-month training course at the Japan Headquarters. During this time, the members of the Japan Headquarters and the Bulgarian members deepened their friendship with each other and made a great contribution to mutual understanding between the two countries. When we found out that the IJKA Open European Championship would be held in Bulgaria, the home country of our good friend Anton Sensei, all the Japanese instructors at the Headquarters offered to support. Among them, I have nominated instructor Shosuke Watanabe (4th Dan), who has been my assistant for many years. I am confident that by watching his demonstration, everyone participating in this event will be able to understand the standard level of Shotokan karate in Japan, and will be able to make a significant contribution to the technical development of IJKA members. I look forward to meeting you all in Bulgaria. 

Oss!
