Seyyed Hasan Tabatabai On Monday, in an interview with IRNA regarding the future plans of the Karate Federation, he stated: “Not long ago, we provided the conditions for the participation of our country’s karate men and women in the Baku KarateOne Premier League.” After a long time, Iranian karatekas went on the mat and first participated in the games of Islamic countries and then in Karatewan Baku, and although the results could have been better, we are relatively satisfied with their performance considering the long absence from the competitions.
He added: We will also send a number of other karatekas to Istanbul Karatevan so that their conditions will be checked and they can improve their ranking.
The head of the Karate Federation said: Our goal is to use all the abilities available in Iran’s karate, and based on this, it will be necessary to compete in international events.
He said: Then we have the Asian Championship in Uzbekistan in all age groups and the World Basic Age Group in Turkey. Participation in this event is expensive, but we must participate in these important competitions in order to raise a new generation, defend our position in Asia and the world, and create champions in the basic age groups.
Tabatabai said: Iranian karate always has high potential, but maintaining this position requires effort, planning and participation in various events.
Regarding the going back and forth of the Vice President of the Women’s Karate Federation, who first resigned from his position and then returned to work, he explained: Misunderstandings and such issues arise in every family. The goal of all of us is the success and pride of Iranian karate.
