Over a dozen years, POLISH OPEN, from a small tournament for children and youth, has grown into one of the largest karate tournaments in Europe, which was entered into the calendar of the European Karate Federation since 2019.

The competition will take place as every year in the modern sports hall „Pod Dębowcem” and will be played on 8 tatami. It will be an international ranking tournament for athletes associated in the Polish Karate Union.

The honorary patronage over the event was taken by Mr Jarosław Klimaszewski the President of Bielsko-Biała, Polish Olympic Committee. 

Very strong representations, members of national teams with the best karatekas from around the globe, medallists of the European Championships and the World Championships have already announced their participation in POLISH OPEN. This event is a great test for seniors before the World Championships, which will take place in November in Dubai. Also, younger athletes will have the chance to test their skills with the best competitors in the world.

The Chief Referee of POLISH OPEN is Mr. Javier Escalante the Chairman of the WKF Referee Commission and Mr. Robert Hamara, the Secretary of the WKF Referee Commission. Many judges and referees with international licenses (EKF/WKF) will work in the referee panel.

All members of WKF are admitted to participate in Bielsko-Biała, at the foothill of Beskidy Mountains. We will do our best to make you feel like at home. I wish competitors successful performances, coaches and officials satisfaction with the results, and spectators many sports emotions.
