The 100 Kata Challenges are a celebration of our passion for martial arts and our connection with Okinawa, the birthplace of karate. Every year more and more people around the world take up the challenge and join our worldwide community of karate and kobudo fans. We celebrate two events every year – 100 Kata for Karate Day (October 25th) and the 100 Kobudo Kata Challenge (May 4th).
100型チャレンジは、私たちの武道への情熱を祝うものです。そして、空手の発祥地である沖縄とのつながりを大切にしています。毎年、世界中でますます多くの人々がこのチャレンジに参加し、空手と古武道のファンからなる世界的なコミュニティに加わっています。私たちは毎年2つのイベントを祝っています – 空手の日100カタチャレンジ（10月25日）と100古武道カタチャレンジ（5月4日）。
The rules of the event are simple. Participants are free to choose a preferred kata, and progress at their own pace. Participation is open to all ages and levels. Even if you are not sure you can complete 100 repetitions we warmly encourage you to take on the next challenge event and do your best. The only way you can fail is by not taking part!
イベントのルールはとてもシンプルですよ！参加者は好みの型を選択し、自分のペースで進めることができます。参加はすべての年齢とレベルの方を対象としています。100回の繰り返しを完了できるか不安でも、次のチャレンジイベントに挑戦し、精一杯頑張ることを心から推奨します。失敗する唯一の方法は、参加しないことだけです！

What’s so special about October 25th? Why has it become “World Karate Day”?
In 1936 a council of leading Okinawan teachers decided on 空手 (karate) as the name for their art. Since then this art has spread around the world improving the lives of millions of practitioners.

Hi, I’m James Pankiewicz of the Asato Dojo in Okinawa and I’m very pleased to report the 2024 event was a HUGE SUCCESS with a massive turnout here in Okinawa and 275 worldwide registrations of Karate dojos and individual challengers across 30+ countries. Every year hundreds of dojos around the world across every country and style join us for this very special event on Karate Day.
Our 100 Kata for Karate Day Challenge 2024 in Okinawa was held at Tomari Port Park . It was fitting that we took the challenge at a major historical venue with a deep connection to the roots of karate. We had around 100 karateka from around the world join us for the event and all completed the 100 Kata Challenge successfully!

As always we invite everyone to take part from wherever you are – at home, your dojo, an outside location or wherever. Choose a location and time that works for you. This event is an amazing opportunity to take on a challenge alongside your friends and dojo colleagues!
