DOTO SHORINJIRYU YUSHINMON
Championship Match
30th
Tokyo Karate-do Invitational Tournament
On September 17th, 2023 (Sunday), under the auspices of our federation, the 30th Tokyo Karate-do Invitational Tournament was held at the National Olympic Memorial Youth Center.
At 10 a.m., with athletes and spectators watching, Nakazaki SŌKE made an entrance, followed by the entrance of the guests.
During the opening ceremony, after the congratulatory words from the guests, video messages of celebration from our overseas branches was shown. They were passionate messages from the leaders of the Dominican Republic headquarters, New York headquarters, Iran headquarters, and Puerto Rico headquarters.
Afterwards, BUKE-MAI performance were presented by five female Dan holders. This was followed by GOJUSHIHO performed by three junior high school Dan holder representatives, and KŪSHANKŪ, the pinnacle of SHŌRINJI-RYŪ style, was demonstrated by general women representatives. The rigid KATA by Ono 5th Dan and the soft KATA by Inaba 3rd Dan (the poster girl for this tournament) combined to create a superb harmony.
There were a team performance of BŌ, and TOKUMINE-NO-KON by Ono 5th Dan, concluding the performance session with SHIWARI.
This time, the venue was unified with the glamorous yet dignified performance by the Ueno Junior High School Band, allowing the children to approach the upcoming matches with readiness and focus.
In the KUMITE match session, there were some surprises, such as last year's champion being unable to participate due to injury, but the matches were conducted in an exciting manner.
