Emirates Arena Glasgow, Scotland

the British International Open Championships and to the host City of Glasgow. In 2013 the event had over 1200 entries from 19 countries and we expect 2014 to be even bigger. This tournament is being viewed by some of the world’s leading coaches as the ideal preparation for the WKF World Senior Championships in Bremen.

We have moved to the new futuristic Emirates Arena, built to host the 2014 Commonwealth Games. This
wonderful new arena is a fitting venue for Britain’s most prestigious karate tournament.

These photos/video footage will be used for public relations and for use on the BKF website as well as
