Description
Welcome to the German Shidokan Open — an international Shidokan tournament where tradition, discipline, and real performance come first. On April 19, fighters and martial artists from across Europe will gather at the Arena Aschaffenburg to test themselves under clear rules and true Budō spirit. This is not a show. This is about results, composure, and heart.
The German Shidokan Open have become a respected meeting point for the European Shidokan community. Competitors travel in from many countries — including Czech Republic, Belgium, and France — which makes this event far more than a local tournament. It’s a real benchmark: you are not only facing athletes from your region, but a strong cross-section of Europe. If you perform here, you earn something that can’t be bought: credibility.

- Weigh-In: 10:00 AM (at the Arena)

Competition Divisions
You will have the chance to compete across the full spectrum of Shidokan as it was meant to be practiced:
- Shidokan Karate – full-contact spirit, clean technique, and the ability to stay sharp under pressure.
- Shidokan Kickboxing – timing, distance, and striking fundamentals put to the test.
- Shidokan Triathlon – the complete Shidokan challenge, demanding versatility, toughness, and tactical intelligence.
- Kata Division – for those who value precision, control, and the traditional core of martial arts. Strong kata is not “easy mode” — it’s a test of discipline and mastery.
Awards & Honors
Effort deserves recognition — and at the German Shidokan Open, honor is part of the tradition:
- Medals for 1st–3rd place in every division
- Trophies for the winner of each class

Whether you are stepping onto the mat to fight, to prove yourself after months of hard training, or to represent your dojo with honor — this is your stage. Shidokan events feel different: respect is real, the standards are clear, and the competition is tough. You prepare properly, you show up, and you deliver.
