As announced to the Branch Chief/Contact/Team Leader beforehand, please reconfirm the following content.
Entry Number for Dogi
The organizer is arranging the sewing of the entry number on the competitor’s dogi (only for WKO overseas members). Team leaders are requested to gather at the sub-arena (B1) of the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium between 14:00 to 15:00 on August 5 (Fri.), with the dogi (top only) of their team neatly organized. The organizer will sew the number on the dogi, and give it back to the team leader at the Tournament Headquarters of the gymnasium from 9:00 on August 6 (Sat.). For those who have weighing on Saturday, please bring your dogi top with the number, to ensure the smooth progress of the weighing.
Official Protectors
Teams will need to prepare the appropriate official items in order to participate in the tournament. For those who found it difficult to contact ISAMI/Martial World and purchase the items beforehand, both will have their booths ready from 15:00 to 19:00 on August 5th (Fri.) at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium, and WKO members will be able to purchase items at normal price (no Branch Chief/Contact discount). Please confirm that competitors only participating in the Kata Category, will also need to purchase the Red Belt/Red Mark Set (RDS, Martial World Japan), for they will need to wear the red belt in the Kata competition (in order to differentiate between red and white).
