MATCHES / ACTIVITIES

• Our association aims to be active with competitions, activities, and seminars.



• Membership with the KBN allows participation in events, often at reduced costs.

• Participation in these activities is recommended, as it gives the participant a broader view of karate-do.

• Membership with the KBN is completed at the same time as registering with our association. The member receives a KBN passport in which his or her progress within Shotokan karate-do is registered.
