After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision not to run the Shotokan Connect Championships, originally scheduled for October this year, until 2027. 

A combination of complex circumstances and operational challenges has meant that we are unable to deliver the high-quality event that our members, competitors, officials, and supporters rightly expect and deserve. Rather than compromise on the standard of the Championships, we have chosen to focus our efforts on delivering an even stronger event in 2027.

We fully appreciate that this news will be disappointing, particularly for those who have been training hard in preparation for the competition. We share that disappointment and thank you for your understanding.  If you have any questions regarding this decision, please direct those to the committee at info@shotokanconnect.com and we will respond as soon as possible.

We would like to encourage everyone to support the FSK Championships in Richmond on Sunday 1st November, London, where many of our members, coaches and officials will be involved. See fskuk.co.uk for details. We will shortly share details of this and other open competitions that may be of interest.

Thank you for your understanding, continued support, and dedication to Shotokan Connect. We look forward to seeing you at future events and to welcoming everyone back for an exceptional Championships in 2027.

The Shotokan Connect Committee.
