World Karate Day is celebrated annually on 25 October. It was established by Okinawa Prefecture to commemorate the 1936 meeting where masters formally named the art, with events planned for 2026 to celebrate this legacy. The Dojo will celebrate this event during the week of 20 October, including a 100 Kata Challenge. More details will be provided in September.
