Welcome
Message from our President
Dear Wado-Kai Friends,
It is our pleasure to invite you to the 46th
European Wado Kai Cup on the next 16th and 17th of
November 2018 in Santarém – Portugal.
For us AKWK, and especially for me, it’s an honor and a
pleasure to organize, for the first time, this competition in Portugal and in
our home city, Santarém.
Santarém is a beautiful old city, full of history and
overseeing the Tejo river and the prairies of the Ribatejo. If you have time
please enjoy it, I’m sure you will be delighted and very welcomed here.
For more than a decade we
(Associação de Karate Wado Kai) have been a member of the FWE and we have
participated in all of the championships during this period of time. By doing
it we have developed our Karate, but, we have also made friends, while getting
to know little pieces of cities and countries around Europe. We have developed
friendships and a better understanding of the world through our contact with
the other wado Groups and their Nations.
During my many years of practice, since the 80’s, I hoped
that one day our Wado Kai Group in Portugal could arrange such a prestigious
event.
I finally have the pleasure of seeing it. We are very proud
to finally be able to host the European Wado Kai Cup and we hope it goes smoothly
and is enjoyable to all. We expect, good attitude, honorable competition and
efficient organization. This is our objective and what we are aiming for; and
our team will do their best to achieve it and make it happen.
Let’s make this competition a great one, not just one more
time, let’s make it excellent and memorable to all that participate in it. We
want this Euro Cup to be a great experience that all wish to repeat in the
future, and for that, we are counting with you to be present and contribute to
it; as athletes, referees, coaches or just supporters of your team. Everyone
shall be thinking about joining us in this competition, and I’m looking forward
to welcoming you all here in Portugal, in Wado friendship; and may this be a
high point of the European Wado life during 2018.
I wish you all a nice journey and a
nice stay here in Portugal; and I wish you the best luck for the competition.
We welcome you to the 46th European Wado Kai Cup in Portugal.
GANBATTE
KUDASAI !!!
