CANADIANS INVITED TO 9TH COMMONWEALTH CHAMPIONSHIPS, IN SOUTH AFRICA

Canadian karate athletes, coaches and officials have been invited to take part in the 9th Commonwealth Karate Championships, which will take place in Durban, South Africa, from August 31st to September 3rd 2017. This prestigious event represents an important step in the sustained international efforts towards inclusion of the sport of karate in the official program of the Commonwealth Games. Canadian participants must be registrants in good standing with Karate Canada (through membership with their Provincial / Territorial Association). Participation will be open to several competitors per nation (expected to be up to a maximum of 6 competitors – to be confirmed) in each division (as this is an “Open” competition, participants are not required to hold any given status or ranking points total, and are not required to be current National Team Roster members), and Karate Canada will register interested participants on a “first come first serve” basis (the link to an online registration form will be made available very soon), however participants will be responsible for organizing all other aspects of their participation and for covering all related expenses (registration, travel, lodging, coaching / support staff…).
