Tradition meets intensity in one-point matches that will take your breath away!

Karate masters investigate how kick and punch, the most fundermental techniques of Karate, could be performed so properly as a ultimate blow to the opponent which decides winning or losing of the competition.

In Japanese it is called as “Kime”. The concept of this Kime is based on the characteristic idea of Karate, to defeat the opponent completely by one blow. It is the ultimate goal of Karate to realize this Kime.

During the tournament which takes over that original starting concept and where people compete by Kumite and Kata, you will find several young Karate masters who might open the new page of Karate’s history. Your eyes will be the witnesses of the history.

Japan Karate Association (JKA) was established by the closest students of master FUNAKOSHI Gichin, the founder of Shotokan-ryu Karate-do. Master NAKAYAMA Masatoshi was one of those main founders of JKA and became the first prime Shihan of Shotokan-ryu.

He made further development of Shotokan-ryu based on instantaneously exploded maximum impact power as the essence of all the techniques. That essence of the orthodox Karate-do we can watch at its All Japan Karatedo Championship Tournament.
