Dear Friends and Colleagues,Welcome to the 2nd Karate Wales Ltd, Open Championships.

In order that we have a safe and therefore enjoyable event, coaches are reminded of their responsibility in ensuring all their competitors have appropriate insurance cover.

By entering their squad members, coaches are confirming that all competitors have up-to-date licences,including insurance.

Please ensure all Kumite competitors are in the correct age, grade and weight category. Also ensure Kata competitors are entered in the correct Kata category. Children’s categories on the Saturday are separated only by grade. As Shotokan and Wado are the predominant styles in Karate Wales, these styles are catered for on Sunday. All competitors performing Shitoryu, Goju Ryu and all other styles must enter in the ‘Other Styles’ categories. We are also showcasing Kyokushin Kata categories in order to encourage their participation in Open events.

Please note; due to a flood of questions regarding the online entry system in use previously, we have decided to use the Royal Mail for this event, therefore please post your entries with a cheque made out to ‘Karate Wales Tournament Account’ Send this to:Lee CostaKarate Wales Tournament Organiser,10 Church Avenue,Penarth, South WalesCF64 1AZ

Merthyr Tydfil Merthyr Tydfil is a town in Wales, with a population of about 62,500, situated approximately 23 miles (37 km) north of Cardiff. Once the largest town in Wales, it is now the 10th largest urban area in Wales. It is in the historic county of Glamorgan and is currently the main town in Merthyr Tydfil County Borough administered by Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council. Both the town and the county borough are often referred to as 'Merthyr'.

According to legend, the town is named after Saint Tydfil, a daughter of King Brychan of Brycheiniog. According to her legend, she was slain at Merthyr by pagans around 480; the place was subsequently named Merthyr Tydfil in her honour. Although merthyr generally means "martyr" in modern Welsh, the meaning here is closer to the Latin martyrium: the mausoleum or church built over the relics of a martyr. Similar examples, all from south Wales, include Merthyr Cynog, Merthyr Dyfan and Merthyr Mawr. The Cornish and Breton language equivalents, in place names, are merther and merzher.
