/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Kubota Karate international tournament will be held
in Armenia on July 25 and 26, bringing together 360 sportsmen from
the United States, Poland, India, Ukraine, Belarus, Iran, Georgia,
Armenia and NKR.

"It’s a brave initiative to organize such tournament in the period of
global economic crisis. Some countries could not send participants
due to the lack of financing," said Grigor Mikaelyan, president of
the RA Karate Federation.

The tournament was initiated by Soke Takayuki Kubota 10th dan
Gosoku-ryu karate, who is visiting Armenia for the first time.
