Maitoshi Kachi Trophy was the first important competition in 2023. This was an international karate competition where 5 countries participated: Belgium, Holland, France, Germany and Luxembourg and more than 500 athletes from 58 clubs were registered. We managed to get 2 bronze medals through Pascu Antonia in the U14 kumite category and Marina Elena in the U12 kumite category. Bogdan Diana (5th place), Elena Elsner, Selen Thiago and Ionescu Mihai also had a very good performance, but without a medal this time.
