Danish Open - Ashihara Karate

We warmly welcome all karate fighters – regardless of style and experience level.

Danish Open – Ashihara Karate is the tournament formerly known as Budo Cup.

This is an inclusive event with room for everyone – whether you're a beginner or an experienced fighter. All participants are matched by age, weight, and tournament experience to ensure fair bouts for all.

The tournament follows the Ashihara ruleset with some adjustments – for example, adult participants have the option to compete under moderated rules.

We hope to see many fighters – new and experienced alike – for a great tournament.

Please note: Participation is open only to respected karate organizations.

We offer:

Digital fight plan, so you can follow along on your phone.
Trophies for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place.
Sales booth with fighting equipment.
