From the Memorial Bisi to the calls for the EuroKata in Slovenia

Basically fulfilled predictions in the Kata National Grand Prix, Memorial Otello Bisi now in its fifteenth edition and held today in Palafanticini a Reggio Emilia.

“The match showed a general increase in level – was the comment of Cesar Amorosi, component of the national commission of kata- and different categories saw the first three places separated by a handful of points. Particular satisfaction was given by the quality of the U18s who, despite their young age, in many cases performed good level kata, and this aspect constitutes a solid basis for their future in this specialty. At this point, the rankings are now ready for the call-ups to the 2023 European Championships scheduled in Podcetrtek in Slovenia on 12 and 13 June”.
