WIKF England is proud and honoured once again to host the 9th WIKF Global Cup, here in Crawley, Gatwick for the 2ndtime. After 3 decades of very successful WIKF international competitions, having previously held 20 at European level, 8 World events as well as Pan American Championships we are now in our 29th year and we are happy to host this event in England.
Over the 5 days we
expect to have over 30 countries participating and over 1000 entries, with
students, instructors and athletes taking part in all areas of traditional
Karate training and of course sport karate during the 3 competition days.
We, WIKF England promise
to deliver the highest quality of competition experience for all the incredible
and amazing athletes, for their highly committed and dedicated coaches, for all
the referees and officials from each country, for the dozens of volunteers
running the event and of course to the hundreds of travelling supporters and
spectators.
This year's competition
promises to include the very best athletes in all of WIKF and some of the
World’s top ranked WKF athletes from Europe and the Pan American countries,
from both the under 21 yrs competition circuit and the Seniors events. We
promise to deliver the very best showcase events for all the finalists, for a
truly memorable moment for their success and to finish our event with a
celebratory Sayonara party for all.
Our official merchandise encompasses the long history of our special event, from the WIKF world renowned logo, the Japanese Kanji for our Association and the official logo of our competition, which showcases the various famous sites of England. We hope you will enjoy the quality and design of the official competition merchandise alongside the fantastic event we will have.
We would like to wish everyone good luck at the competition and we look forward to seeing you all in Crawley in September.
Yours in Karate
