We must inform you that we decided “Funakoshi Gichin Cup 15th Karate World Championship Tournament” which was scheduled to be held this year from October 23rd to 25th at Takasaki Arena should be postponed until next year because there is no sign that the worldwide coronavirus pandemic is being brought under control.

We understand that it is very disappointing thing for all athletes who have been trained hard and all concerned people who have prepared for long time for this event, but your understanding will be highly appreciated.
