Grettings,

I wish you all the best in your health.
We are pleased to hear that you are in good health.
We also express our deepest gratitude for your continued support and your daily efforts in improving karate techniques and nurturing young people.

We are delighted to announce that the venue for the "2026 Chapter 19 Nishimura Seiji Matsuri Karate Tournament" has been decided.

The purpose of this tournament is to foster physical and mental training of young people through karate, as well as to promote mutual friendship among dojos in and out of Japan, and to provide a place for the healthy development and exchange of boys and girls who will lead the future.

The tournament is named a "Matsuri" (festival) because it features a wide range of events and a free seminar the day before the tournament.
With the aim of fostering warm exchanges at the tournament, we have planned it with the participants and their guardians in mind, hoping to bring them some enjoyment.

We are pleased to announce that the venue will be the Dazaifu Tobiume Arena, and we are confident that it will be a delightful tournament.

We understand you are very busy, but we would be delighted if your organization could participate in this years competition.

We sincerely hope for your participation in this tournament and look forward to seeing you there. We hope that the tournament will help further improve the skills of our athletes, and we would greatly appreciate your broad support, including advertising and other sponsorships.
