WTKF President's Letter, Włodzimierz Kwiecinski Sensei
Dear Friends,
Download President's Letter
Again, past year gave us all full spectrum of different energies.
World Traditional Karate-do Federation is impressed by efforts of countries which organized competitions Worldwide in the past year. We would like to thank you for your commitment to develop Traditional Karate-do Worldwide, and congratulate
on the results achieved.
Traditional Karate-do is not a sport, it’s a system of self development and self discipline. In today’s world these values are in a deficit, and we would like to turn our future into direction of spreading and making them popular.
In upcoming year Traditional Karate-do will change the development direction to put more accent on education and Budo principles which can be described in a few words: as a good behaviour, respect and ethical aspects.
Next year is going to be very exciting for all of us, because WTKF is planning to implement new operational system to our competition rules.
We wish you all great successes, good health and strong spirit for the upcoming 2020.
Thank you for your support and hard work for our community, we are grateful to be surrounded by all of you!
Włodzimierz Kwiecinski
WTKF President
Natal, Brazil, will be the capital of Traditional Karate-Do in 2025!
