The North American Kudo Championship was held on November 10 in Los Angels, USA.

Also, before the Championship, a referee seminar was held.

Not only this North American Championship was a memorial first one, this was the first Kudo tournament in the USA.

Total 42 athletes from 3 countries (Canada, Mexico, USA) competed passionately.

KIF would like to thank everyone in the USA for hosting the championship.

At the branch chief’s meeting held after the championship, it was decided that the Pan American Kudo Championship will be held in Mexico next October.

Canada also expressed its desire to hold an international seminar. We hope to be able to hold international seminar in South America as well.

The results will be posted under “Events/Results of International Tournaments” at a later date.
