On Saturday, February 24th, Shobu Ippon Danmark proudly hosted the 6th Shobu Ippon Tournament, setting the stage for an exhilarating display of traditionel karatedo. This year’s event saw an unprecedented turnout, with nearly 500 participants representing 37 diverse clubs. Divided into categories based on age and skill level, competitors had the opportunity to demonstrate their abilities in gohon kumite, kata, and shiai kumite disciplines.

The tournament unfolded across four tatami mats until lunchtime, with the remaining rounds contested on three mats. Adding to the professionalism of the event, skilled A-license referees from Sweden contributed their expertise, elevating the standard of judging and ensuring fairness throughout.

Throughout the day, the atmosphere was electrifying, with enthusiastic spectators fueling the excitement and creating a supportive environment. Participants showcased exceptional sportsmanship and unwavering determination, embodying the true essence of karatedo. The level of competition was notably high across several categories, with Swedish female fighters particularly impressing the audience with their powerful kata performances.

In a highlight of the event, judges had the arduous task of selecting the top male and female fighters, who were awarded with prestigious trophies and high-quality gis from Budoland.

A heartfelt expression of gratitude is extended to all the competitors, officials, referees, and spectators whose collective efforts contributed to making the day a resounding success at Hørsholmhallen.

Looking ahead, mark your calendars for another exciting event hosted by Shobu Ippon Danmark. On September 21st, they will be hosting the Nordic Open in Ippon Shobu, once again taking place at Hørsholmhallen.
