VANCOUVER CUP KARATE CHAMPIONSHIPS

Introduction
Vancouver Cup Karate Championships is an annual event organized by Vancouver Kyokushin Karate. The event gave itself a very modest start in the year 2000. The constant success and growth from each year pulled North American fighters together and provided them with great opportunities to gain experiences and establish friendships among them. A numerous number of local competitors used this tournament as a step ladder to reach up to the international level. The event has also attracted thousands of Martial Arts fans in the Greater Vancouver area and contributed to promoting Kyokushin Karate in this region. Because the event creates positive and lasting impressions in the mind of the audience, many local companies participated in the tournament as corporate sponsors. Today, Vancouver Cup Karate Championships has grown to be one of the most recognized and prestigious karate events in Canada.
