Last Saturday (04/09), participants from Poland, Italy, Austria, Czech Republic and Lithuania gathered in Wrocław for the Dragon Cup 2021.

With 3 Shiai-jo, Junior competitors were able to show the results of their training in 4 individual (Under 9, under 12, under 15 and under 18) and 2 team (Under 9 and Mixed) categories.

After such a long time without these kind of events because of Covid-19, the Dragon Cup was certainly full of emotions and commitment!

Filippi Chistian Sensei was the Head Judge and gave valuable feedback about refereeing. The entire event was held according to the rules of the EKF, considering the latest changes in the method of refereeing fights.

The organization of the tournament was possible thanks to the support of the Sports Office of the City of Wrocław, and we were honoured to be one of the Dragon Cup sponsors. We hope the winners enjoy their prizes!
