th The 48 ​ Annual JKO National Shito Ryu Championships: ​ Dear Honored Guests, Shihans, Senseis, and Friends:

th It is my pleasure to welcome you to our 48 ​ annual JKO National Shito Ryu Karate-Do ​ Championships and Master’s Seminars. It has become an amazing historical event with your enthusiastic support. This year will be even more exciting with the debut of Karate at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.

We are adding 2 new events: Iai-Do and Battoh Do (the rules TBA), which both involve the Japanese Samurai sword and its traditional philosophy and original martial art aspects.

As the host, I hope that you will enjoy the quality of competition and the high level of performances. It is our wish that these events reflect the true spirit of Karate-Do. We must also remember that today’s success is a direct result of each of you, who value Karate-Do, and your unrelenting supportive efforts. On behalf of the Japan Karate-Do Organization and its members, I extend my best wishes for a safe and memorable competition.
