Approximately 150 competitors participated from 9 neighboring countries including France, Belgium, Spain, Moldova, UK, Germany, Romania, Serbia and Switzerland. Shihan Katsuhito Gorai oversaw the weekend festivities. The Main event of the championships was the Men&#8217;s Super Heavy Weight Kumite. Alejandro Navarro of Spain defeated Djema Belkhodja of France by weight difference.
