We are planning to run 4 rings and will requi re 30-35 officials in order to allow for adequate breaks. Please check our website at www.mukashikarate.com for photos of last year`s event as well as well as updates on this year`s event. I sincerely hope that you will co nsider coming to Yarmouth.

These Championships are the showcase of our sport within the Commonwe alth and we are again all looking forward to another successful competitio n here in Durban.\n\nI would like to take this opportunity to thank Karate South Africa as our hosts this year. I’m sure anybody who has ever been involved in preparing\, organising and then actually running a karate eve nt knows exactly how much work goes into making it a success - and from th e work I have already seen I have no doubt this event will be a great succ ess on every level. It is important to recognise and acknowledge the Natio nal Federations participating in the 2018 Commonwealth Karate Championship s. Again\, the success of the CKF is due to your support. I personally tha nk you for your on-going contribution to karate in the Commonwealth. An ev ent such as this can only take place with an enormous amount of work\, mos t of which is quietly achieved behind the scenes\, and I express my apprec iation to all those who have contributed in one way or another. I wish to especially acknowledge all the volunteers who work tirelessly for the bene fit of karate across the Commonwealth. The success of any event is largel y dependent on the skill\, dedication and integrity of the referees and o fficials. Once again\, I acknowledge the leadership of our Referees’ Com mission. Our referees and officials have repeatedly demonstrated a genuine commitment to the highest levels of ethics and sportsmanship and the CKF is a much better organisation because they have all chosen this honourable path.\n\nI offer my congratulations to the coaches who have painstakingl y guided their athletes to their current levels. I give you my best wishes for the success at this event and thank you for your invaluable contribut ions. Also\, I wish great success to all competitors. I hope you achieve y our goals and I personally congratulate for what you have achieved thus fa r in representing your country.\nI am extremely proud to confirm Karate ’s inclusion into the Tokyo 2020 Olympic program. Finally\, our athletes have a pathway to compete at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. I take this op portunity to thank all those who have worked tirelessly over the years to advocate for this historic decision. Furthermore\, I can assure you all th at the CKF Executive will continue to lobby for the inclusion of karate in to the Commonwealth Games. The CKF EC hopes that in addition to the challe nge of competition\, you will find some time to explore the great city of Durban and its surrounding area\, and that you will have an enjoyable exp erience in South Africa. In closing\, I welcome you all - whether you are here as competitor\, coach\, referee\, official or spectator - let us all engage and enjoy the benefits of competitive karate as well as the spirit of good sportsmanship and fair play.\n\nYours in Karate-Do\,\n\nMr Michae l Kassis President - Commonwealth Karate Federation\n\n \;\n\n \;\ n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;

Please not e the important information below:\n\n1- 2021-2022 SENIOR NATIONAL TEAM CR ITERIA:\n\nFor your information\, please click on the link below for acce ss to the new Senior National Team Criteria (for both kata and kumite mai nstream athletes) for the 2021-2022 season (starting at the conclusion o f the upcoming 2021 Senior National Team Trials\, scheduled to take place in Calgary (AB) on September 25-26 - first information bulletin set for re lease next week):\n\nhttps://karatecanada.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/K C_Sr_NatTeamCriteria_2021-2022_Final_BOD_21July-2021_EN.pdf\n\nFor the mos t part\, these new Criteria remain consistent with Criteria of the last co uple of years. The most significant changes and some important elements to consider are as follows:\n\n-The new (2021-2022) season will stretch\, fo r the Senior National Team Roster\, from the conclusion of the 2021 Senior National Team Trials (ending on September 26\, 2021) to the start of the 2022 National Championships (joint Junior &\; Senior event\, set to sta rt on July 1st\, 2022)\;\n\n- As reflected in Section 6\, all medallists f rom the 2021 Sr Team Trials will now automatically be named onto the Roste r (selections for anyone not holding at least a National A status was prev iously subject to discretionary Coach choices\, although in practice we di d in fact invite all Senior medallists onto the Roster\, in the last few y ears). Prioritization for selection to specific event teams has been furth er clarified (in section 7)\, with regards to relative ranking point total s of respective athletes holding identical status\;\n\n- The list of targe ted (and KC ranking point-earning) events (which does not includes points for results at the 2021 Senior Pan American Championships - see notes belo w) has been updated\; please note that athletes may now earn KC ranking po ints for matches won (below a certain placement) at the 2021 Sr World and 2022 Sr Pan American Championships\, and that points at these events are s ubjected to the ’Strength of Field' criterion (section 5.2)\;\n\n-Team s election dates for the 2021 Sr Pan American and 2021 Sr World Championship s is set for immediately after the conclusion of the September 2021 Senior National Team Trials (invited athletes will be required to confirm partic ipation promptly after conclusion of those Senior National Team Trials)\ ;\n\n- Given ongoing COVID-related issues in South America and possible  health risks associated with participation in the 2021 Sr Pan American Ch ampionships\, participation in that event will be optional and Karate Can ada will\, exceptionally\, not award any ranking points for performance at that event. Selection for the 2021 Sr World Championships team will be based on athlete point rankings and status immediately after the conclu sion of the September 2021 Senior National Team Trials event (the current Senior rankings are available on our website)\;\n\n- The rules for automa tic invitations to Senior national competitions (Appendix A) reflect the  changes announced back in December 2020 (for instance\, all age-eligi ble medallists from the previous National Championships are now autom atically invited\, instead of only the gold and silver medalists). Thes e automatic invitation rules will apply to the 2021 Senior National Team Trials event.\n\nWe highly recommend that you take the time to read throu gh this important document and familiarize yourselves with its contents\, as is the case each year.\n\nShould you have any questions\, please don’ t hesitate to contact our High Performance Director Mr. Kraig Devlin\, at:  kraig.devlin@karatecanada.org.\n\n2- INFO MEETING:\n\nKarate Canada’s High Performance Director Mr. Kraig Devlin would like to invite you (as w ell as you club / dojo coaches and / or Provincial / Territorial Team Coac hes) to attend an optional virtual information meeting\, during which he w ill go over the broad lines of these new Criteria and calendar for the com ing season\, and answer related questions.
