WKF President Antonio Espinós said:

“It has been a pleasure to receive José and Tony in the WKF office in Madrid. At today’s meeting, we were able to discuss how much Karate has developed in the Americas over the years. There is still a lot of room for improvement, of course, but I am pleased to receive positive feedback on the promising prospects of Karate in the continent.

“I have encouraged Mr García Maañón and Mr Méndez to not be complacent and continue making their utmost to ensure that our sport keeps on growing all over the Americas. I want to express my gratitude to Mr García Maañón and Mr Méndez for their efforts, their support and for taking the time to visit our headquarters today.”

“The WKF has worked together with the continental federations such as the PKF to push Karate to a whole new level. While we have evolution and modernisation on our minds, we never forget the spirit and many values of Karate. Now we need to continue our great work by working closely together and continue writing new and exciting chapters in the history of our sport around the World and here in America.”
