Dear CKMA Members and Supporters,
We hope this message finds you well, and we wish you a happy and prosperous New Year!
We're excited to share some important news regarding our dojo.
As many of you know, our affiliation with the International Federation of Karate (IFK) ended in October 2024. After more than 18 years with the IFK, we felt it was time to begin a new chapter in our karate journey.
Following our resignation, we received several invitations from major organizations, for which we are grateful and honored. However, we chose to carefully consider the best direction for our future. We take these matters seriously and understand the importance of this kind of commitment.
Our 18 years of affiliation with the previous organization is a testament to this.
After careful deliberation, consultation with our senior black belt students, friends, and supporters, and gathering important information, we decided to join an organization that we believe closely aligns with our principles and vision of karate.
We are pleased to announce that CKMA Dojo is now officially affiliated with the World Kyokushin Budokai (WKB) under Hanshi Pedro Roiz, and we are grateful and honored by this opportunity.
We want to thank Shihan Daniel Sanchez for providing the necessary information and details regarding this affiliation. We also thank Sensei Nicoleta Bozianu from WKB Romania, Shihan Klaus Ming from WKB Switzerland, and Sensei Attila Kun from WKB Great Britain for their additional support and insights during this process.
We are excited to work with the WKB, make new friends, and we are committed to represent ourselves at the highest standards.
In the coming days, we will share more details with our members about the affiliation and what it means for our dojo.
These are exciting times, and as stated on the WKB logo, we will strive to Evolve while Respecting the Tradition of Karate.
Let's make this a great year together!
Osu,
Shihan Steve and Senpai Mici
CKMA Dojo
