That said, it is important to point out that the Torii Kata Cup does not only appeal to the top, it also has a recruitment focus. As the organizers say: “This is a Kata tournament for EVERYONE.” ⇓ Pictures taken by KARATEBYLIV
It is an art in itself to maintain the top while building the width. Kata Torii Cup along with e.g. Tomodachi Cup have this ability. This reflects the true values of the environment, the deeper goal that can’t be measured in 1st and 2nd place. ⇓ Pictures taken by KARATEBYLIV
We mentioned the schedule, and with regular Kata championships / Activity set against an overall agenda, which could be EC – it is a very fruitful spring towards Georgia in May, and EC. We have as examples Tomodachi Kata cup (Feb) followed by Swiss Kata Camp 2026 (March) and now we are ready for Torii Kata Cup in April. ⇓ Pictures taken by KARATEBYLIV
“A Garyū is a reclining dragon. A mighty being who possesses strength and humility in equal measure 🐉✨The prize will therefore go to a karateka who on the tatami demonstrates great overview and karate technical ability, but who outside the tatami demonstrates respect and community.”

Our ultimate desire is to leave an expression that is bigger than ourselves. To do this we must give of ourselves, as individuals and the environment as such. If we succeed, it will be shown in growth, results for everyone involved. ⇓ Pictures taken by KARATEBYLIV
