The organizer of the event: Banzai Karate Kai is a big contributor to the Full Contact Karate community. They have this championship, Banzai Open, and Camp Banzai under their own auspices which are well known. Events like this create a name, but it is the ability behind it that really tells what you are dealing with.

To organize camps and tournaments could be one thing, but to make them great is another thing. The foundation of Banzai Karate Kai’s events is themselves. With their great capacity and participation everywhere something happen in the name of Karate. When you have a large active team, you can be responsible for good events — then you have: athletes, coaches, judges and of course many who can contribute with whatever it may be.
