2nd Ikueikan International Wado Cup

DEAR WADO FRIENDS!
Unfortunately, we have bad news! Due to epidemiological restrictions, Japanese athletes and Master Matsuzaki will not be able to travel this year either. Without their presence, it is unnecessary to hold the Ikueikan Cup as they represent Ikueikan. We agreed together to organize the event in 2023 in the hope that there will be no restrictions next year.

We're coming again!
More information coming soon!

REFEREES AND JUDGES
Dear participants, athletes, coaches and referees!
We would like the 2nd Ikueikan Cup to be supported by the participating clubs and countries with work of referees and judges. More equitable and acceptable results are obtained when more referees and judges from more nations appreciate the performance of the competitors. However, I would like to symbolically reward their work:
EKF (International) certification 60 EUR
WKF (National) certification 40 EUR
The cost of the referees and judges can be deducted from the entry fee. That is, at the time of registration, participating teams have to pay less with the referees and judges' fees. The names and qualifications of the referees and judges can be entered with the entries in the orange column.

CATEGORIES OF THE COMPETITION

2nd Ikueikan International Wado Cup

Dear Wado Friends, Sportmates!

We would like to invite all wado karatekas and everyone who is interested to the Japanese Ikueikan Federation’s second restricted karate championship to which Budapest will give a home after last year’s place, Austria. The event will take place at the UTE Multifunctional Sporthall (Nr 30. of Szilágyi street, 1046 Budapest) which was handed last year.
The event got the name Ikueikan because Master Nukina would have liked to pay tribute to the memory of his recently passed late coach, Kijima Akihiko for who he was very thankful during his time in university and also wanted to salute to his Master Akio Matsusaki, leader of the Japanese Ikueikan Dojo where he started to learn karate.
At the first event, 7 countries’ 23 clubs participated and we are very thankful for them that they honored us with their participation. We truly hope that we can count on them this year too and more clubs, more countries will be part of the next events! Of course the Japanese team will join the event this year aswell approximately with twice as big number of competitors as last year. Akio Matsusaki, 6th dan JKF Wadokai Master, head coach of the Ikueikan Dojo in Nagoya and Murase Hisao 7th dan Master, kumite World Champion, late coach of the Japanese National Team, 4 times Japanese National Champion will accompany the Japanese team. The masters will give kata and kumite seminars on Sunday morning, the next day after the competition.
So with all love, we are waiting anyone who would like to spend a weekend with Japanese competitors this or that way.
