The IJKA Winter Cup (kumite) was held on December 16th. Approximately 400 participants competed. Congratulations to all the winners！

On October 7th and 8th, UK seminar was held in the UK. Thank you very much for the IJKA country chief instructors and members to attend this seminar. The IJKA UK have a strong lineage as high as 7th Dan and some individuals have been loyal followers of Kato Shihan and IJKA for up to 54 years so they have a wealth of experience to draw from. Such loyalty is rarely seen and difficult to find, even in other karate organizations, so IJKA UK is in a unique and proud position. This seminar was held as a memorial for Ron Bell Wood sensei (passed away in December 2022), who was a great contributor to the development of IJKA. We’ll keep great relationship with them for the bright future of IJKA international.
