 On
behalf of the Australian Kyokushin Karate Association, the
Australian Branch Chiefs, namely Shihan Gary Viccars, Shihan
Tony Bowden, and Sensei Darren Jordan, the Tournament Organizing
Committee and I, it gives me great pleasure to announce
that Australia has been given the honour of hosting the
2nd Karate World Cup. The tournament will be held on the
Sat 4th & Sun 5th November 2006.
This event will no doubt be the greatest karate tournament
ever held in Australia and it is with great excitement that
we in Australia are looking forward to hosting this truly
international event. We are expecting over 40 countries
will take part with over 180 fighters participating over
the two day event. We anticipate that weﾕll see some of
the worldﾕs most proficient full-contact karate fighters
battling it out for this prestigious tournament. Spectators
will be treated to great displays of skill, speed and power
during this event.
The organizing committee would like to invite all Kyokushin
fighters to this tournament. There will be three weight
divisions (light, middle and heavy) for both male and female
competitors. It will be a knock-out competition where only
the winners will move to the next round. This will culminate
in the final round where the last two proven winners will
fight it out for the World Cup.
The World Cup will be held in the Sydney Entertainment Centre,
which is one of Australiaﾕs premier venues. The Sydney Entertainment
Centre is located in the heart of the city of Sydney and
next to the Chinatown, and close to all the main attractions
that Sydney has to offer. Visitors will not be disappointed.
Sunny, sexy and sophisticated, Sydney is the shining star
of the southern hemisphere. The white-sailed Sydney Opera
House, caught mid-billow over the waters of Sydney Cove,
and the Sydney Harbour Bridge are the pride and joy, but
there's far more on offer. Discover the harbour, the city's
historic enclaves, restaurants and cafes, beaches, museums
and art galleries, and the national parks and wildlife within
the city and on its fringes.

 A
free-spirited and vibrant city, Sydney is built around
one of the world's most beautiful harbours, with more
than 70 sparkling beaches in easy reach of its cosmopolitan
heart.
Enjoy its legendary beauty, its laid-back outdoor
lifestyle and icons such as the Sydney Opera House,
the graceful span of the Harbour Bridge and the golden
sands of Bondi.
The centre is surprisingly compact and served by an
efficient public transport service - so it's easy
to pack a lot into a day.
 Most
visitors start off exploring the Rocks, the harbourside
quarter where Sydney began. Today, it's an area of
narrow lanes, boutiques, historic cottages, top hotels
and restaurants, historic pubs and the Sydney Harbour
Bridge.
Nearby is Circular Quay, where you can take a ferry
ride across the harbour to the attractive beachside
suburb of Manly, or to dozens of other destinations.
Another area not to be missed is the entertainment
centre of Darling Harbour, with its museums, eateries,
pubs and clubs. It has one of the world's largest
aquariums. Watch out for the three-metre-long sharks
as you walk through tunnels moulded into the giant
tanks.
 Elsewhere
you'll find great nightlife - in Kings Cross and the
trendy suburb of Paddington, also known for its stately
Victorian houses and glamorous boutiques.
Then there are the food emporiums of Chinatown, the
vivid street life and inexpensive eateries of inner-city
Newtown, and fabulous shopping in the city centre.
Other attractions include the Royal Botanic Gardens,
a climb to the top of the Harbour Bridge, and bush
walks through Sydney Harbour National Park. Add on
a boat tour of the harbour, or a cruise to the site
of the Sydney Olympic Games, and you'll be sorry to
leave. |
