Dr. Piyush Jain, National Secretary PEFI stated that, The National level tournament is part of PEFI’s commitment to promote participation in martial arts, especially at the grassroot level. India has a rich history of martial arts, there are many indigenously developed martial arts which are about to extinct. Therefore it is important that platforms for popularization of martial arts are created across the country in order to ensure the resurrection of martial arts in India.
It is a very inexpensive sport and doesn’t need extensive infrastructure and has potential to open up new opportunities for young students. There was certainly an urgent need for a national level tournament where karate students from various styles could come on a single platform to showcase their talent. We are also committed to make this India largest talent identification platform of competitive karate.
He further stated that the future of martial arts in India is definitely very bright if the right platforms are created and martial arts practitioners are given enough opportunities to compete on the national and international stage. Our long term objective behind this tournament is to develop this into a global event in coming years. In the first edition the tournament will be conducted in three formats i.e.Traditional Karate, Non Contact Karate and Full Contact Karate.
