8th Traditional Karate World Cup ORLEN 2015
The very special event – 8th Traditional Karate World Cup ORLEN 2015 – will be held on 6th June in Stara Wieś. There will be many distinguished guests from all the world. It is a special edition of Traditional Karate World Cup, because the most valuable aim of the event is to build a house for traditional karate.
We are honored to host in Poland, in the Japanese Martial Arts and Sports Centre ‘Dojo – Stara Wieś’, the delegations such as World Koshiki Karatedo Federation, Japan Karate Association, World Traditional Karate-Do Federation, representatives of traditional karate associations from whole world and exceptional guests from Japan.
Our special guest will be Mr. Lech Wałęsa – former President of Poland, Nobel Peace Prize recipient, legend of “Solidarity” who took the honorary patronage under the competition. The President will visit Dojo second time. Six years ago, he made the official opening of the center. He said: “Once, during the second day of August strike, journalists asked me what we’re doing here, I replied that I wanted to build in Poland another Japan. Dojo in Stara Wieś is an example of the fact that this idea is perfectly realized.”
