TAIKAI 2025!
14th Shito-ryu International Karate-Do Taikai
The Shito-ryu International Karate-Do Taikai has alternated between being held in Japan and a partner country every two years. The International Taikai is a global gathering of Shihan and practitioners from 19 countries - an opportune stage for pushing each other to greater heights in competition and learning from each other through the Seminar.
​
Shitoryu Singapore Karate-Do Kai is honoured to have the privilege of hosting the 14th International Taikai in Singapore in 2025. As the first Taikai held in Southeast Asia, we strive to make this Taikai experience an unforgettably meaningful one for all. We are thrilled to welcome you to Singapore and can't wait to train, compete, and learn together.
​
See you in July 2025!
WELCOME TO SINGAPORE!

Dear Shihan, Head Instructors, and Karatekas,​
We are thrilled to announce that the 14th Shito-ryu International Taikai 2025 will be held in Singapore! This event marks a significant milestone not only for Shito-ryu Karate but also for the Singapore Karate community, as we proudly welcome the international fraternity to experience our dedication to the art of Shito-ryu Karate-do.
We eagerly look forward to uniting with Shito-ryu dojos from around the world to celebrate and promote the true spirit of Shito-ryu Karate as envisioned by Master Kenwa Mabuni. Our deepest gratitude goes to Soke Tsukasa Mabuni and Shito-ryu International Karate Do Kai for entrusting us with the privilege of hosting this landmark event in Singapore's Karate history.
​
Singapore has emerged as a premier sports hub in Asia, renowned for hosting major events like the Formula 1 Grand Prix and international martial arts tournaments. With cutting-edge venues such as the Singapore Sports Hub and Our Tampines Hub, Singapore offers world-class infrastructure infused with a vibrant, multicultural spirit. This Taikai will feature a technical Karate seminar and over 60 competitive categories, highlighting the strength and unity of our Karate community.
We look forward to hosting you!
