Dear Shihan/Sensei/Senpai,

Greetings and the very best of wishes come to you from Ashihara Karate.

We are having a Mini tournament on Saturday 12 September 2015 at the Sid G Rule Primary School Hall in Grassy Park, and we would like you and your team participating with us.

This tournament will be run on the semi-contact clicker system of karate and there will be several kata and kumite divisions for male and female competitors. The divisions will be as per the A.K.I. weight/age format. For senior contestants there will be semi- and full contact matches. There will also be matches for Under 18’s in full contact.

This Championship is sanctioned by WKO-Africa and serves as a pre-selection for the WKO World Championships for seniors to be held in Thailand in February 2016 as well as a planned Juniors Invitational to be held during that time in either Thailand or India.
