Chairman’s Message:

We are thrilled to have you join us for the very first JKA
Philippines Tournament! This prestigious event is where
discipline and the spirit of the Dojo Kun come alive. This
tournament is more than just a competition—it's a celebra-

ting the tradition and discipline of JKA Karate. Whether you

first time, today marks a special chapter in your martial arts
ourney and life.

Karate teaches us that the greatest victories come through perseverance, res-
pect, and humility. As you prepare to showcase your skills, remember that every
kata and every kumite is a reflection of your personal growth and commitment to
the Dojo Kun. You've trained hard, and now is your moment to shine!

This event brings together talented karatekas from all over the Philippines, each

learn from one another, forge camaraderie, and deepen your connection to kara-
te's highest traditions.

To all the participants, we wish you the best of luck! May you compete with honor,
demonstrate your full potential, and most importantly, enjoy the experience. Re-
member, in karate, the journey is as important as the victory. We believe in each
of you and look forward to witnessing your greatness!

Let the tournament begin, and may the true spirit of the JKA Dojo Kun guide you!
