World Traditional Karate-Do Federation

October 2nd, 2019

Dear Members of World Traditional Karate-Do Federation (WTKF),

On behalf of the Board of Directors of the World Traditional Karate-Do Federation(WTKF), I would like to clarify and inform you of five important information.

First, WTKF the 34th WTKF European Traditional Karate Do Championship in Odintsovo (Moscow region), will be held from October 7th, 2019 to October 13th, 2019. It is a highly anticipated event!

Second, the name “World Traditional Karate-Do Federation” and its logo were created by us. Additionally, WTKF was registered as an NGO in Geneva, Switzerland well before we applied for trademark. We have worked tirelessly to promote, improve and create

an environment where all our members can grow and have fun doing so.

Third, the WTKF Board of Directors and I have fiduciary responsibility which, first and foremost, is to protect our members by protecting our organization from any piracy or harmful actions by anyone who tries to hurt WTKF, its members and its mission.

All decisions made by WTKF Board of Directors and I are in line with our fiduciary responsibilities, are fair and in legal manner, and they are fully enforceable.

A few members have chosen to dismiss our rules and regulations and place their own benefit above the welfare of the WTKF. The Board of Directors and I had no other choice than to suspend these individuals and their respective federations after numerous attempts to contact them and resolve the situation. Our attempts were ignored by these individuals – instead they chose to organize an invalid and illegal General Assembly and have spread fake information and lies about the WTKF, its events, and its Board of Directors.

WTKF is a strong organization with numerous strong member federations. A small group (7 countries) of ill-intentioned individuals cannot and will not be able to change the commitment of the vast majority (more than 20 countries) of our members to the WTKF organization, its Board of Directors and its Constitution.

Fourth, based on WTKF Constitution and our past practices, a General Assembly is scheduled in Mexico with conjunction of the Pan American Championships on Thursday, October 24, 2019 at 2 pm. This is the real, legal and valid General Assembly and not the one advertised by Mr. Radek Janus.

Any information you receive from the Fake WTKF run by Mr. Radek Janus and his few accomplices such as Mr. Savchenko, Mr. Giedrius Dranevicius and Mr. Moshe Rokah should be ignored and disregarded. The following Website and Facebook addresses

belong to Mr. Radek Janus and all its information are false and invalid:

General Secretary email: secretary@wtkfkarate.org

Fifth, we want to assure you that I am still the president of WTKF and Mr. Carrion is still General Secretary. If you have any questions and receive any information that you are unsure about, please contact our General Secretary, Mr. Nelson Carrion. Our

Sincerely,
