100 Kata Challenges – Karate Day 2024
EventsThe 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.
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!
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 2023 event was a HUGE SUCCESS with a massive turnout here in Okinawa and 275 worldwide registrations of Karate dojos and individual challengers across 25+ countries. Every year hundreds of dojos around the world across every country and style join us for this very special event on Karate Day. 2023 was extra special for us as it was the 10th year since we started the 100 Kata event.
Our 100 Kata for Karate Day Challenge 2023 in Okinawa was held at Shuri Castle Park . It was fitting that we took the challenge at a major historical venue with a deep connection to the roots of karate.

空手の日100型チャレンジイベント、沖縄と世界275カ所で開催!
こんにちは、沖縄の安里道場のジェームス・パンキウィッチです。2023年大会が大成功に終わったことをご報告できることを大変嬉しく思います。 毎年、この空手の日の特別なイベントには、国やスタイルを問わず、世界中の何百もの道場が参加しています。2023年は、100の型を始めてから10年目という特別な年でした。
10月25日の何がそんなに特別なのでしょうか？なぜ「世界空手の日」になったのでしょうか？
1936年、沖縄の指導者たちが空手を「空手道」と命名しました。それ以来、この空手道は世界中に広まり、何百万人もの練習生の生活を向上させてきた。
