Földi said that athletes of 22 countries had registered so far and the participation of 3 countries was pending due to visa problems.

Kancho Soeno Yoshiji will be also there as a special guest. He is the founder of Shidokan Karate. Krisztián Földi told there were no big differences between the styles of Karate.

This version is unique because Sidokan family is not limited to “just” all forms of Karate, but there are kick-boxers, Taekwondo, Aikido and Kenpo warriors as well. In this light, combats will take place not just on tatamis, but there will also be fights in box rings, Földi said. He also stressed that in addition to Shidokan founder Kancho Soeno Yoshiji san and the second man of Shidokan, Jukucho Murakami Ryuuji san, Peter Mylonas, President of the International Kenpo Association would also participate in the tournament.

The aim of the styles was to become an Olympic sport, but this only could be reached by being unified, Földi told alfahir.hu.

They expect a lot of visitors for the event, because there will be not just Karate, but other martial arts.

The Földi family has been sponsoring the competitors of Shidokan karate for years. They train the 120 employees of Földi’s company in Japan. The family, for the request of Seno Kancho and Murakami Jukucho, is the main sponsor of the whole World Championship, starting from the hotel accommodations of all athletes, the plane tickets of overseas delegations, touristical programs and the closing banquet. He also thanked for the support of kuruc.info and alfahir.hu websites.

Krisztián Földi said the cooperation still lasted with K-1 Champion Uehara Makoto, who was his friend and now they had a joint company as well.
