I wish complete success to all delegations. I sincerely hope that these three days of competition we can make known even better our practices, open to all and show the world the true place of Ju Jitsu. At each international competition, the number of countries and fighters is constantly increasing, proving the vitality of Ju Jitsu through our continents. I wish good luck to all participants! With this major event we want to honor as well our friend Eugene Domagata who passed away one year ago (11. September 2017). Let us celebrate a festival of Budo and remember the people working hard for this.
