Welcome by co-chairmen of the Russian Union of Martial Arts to guests and participants of the World All-Style Karate Championship IASKF, Junior Championship IASKF and International Festival IASKF

Dear friends!

On behalf of the Russian Union of Martial Arts we welcome our guests and participants of the World All-Style Karate Championship IASKF, Junior Championship IASKF and International Festival IASKF.

By expanding its geography, all-style karate seeks and finds new ways in order to become even more widespread and popular martial art.

A large number of competitions on all-russian, regional and international levels held for the last few years, proved this fact.

We are confident that the competitions with more than 1000 athletes from about 30 countries will be held on a high organizational level and become an additional impetus to the growth of karate’s popularity in our country and abroad.

We wish persistence, decent performance and honest victories to all contestants, a high level of tournament organization to the leaders of the Federation, and a spectacular sports show to all fans!
