世界組手連盟の創設に参画した館長、師範達（マスター達）が、連盟の理想とする理念を 共有することで強固な連帯感と献身的情熱が生まれ、それを基盤に連盟が成立していると いう大きな特徴があります。

The World Kumite Organization can be characterized by the unity among its founding masters manifesting a common dedication for the cause and aligned ideology. 杉原館長、長谷川師範、館長シフを筆頭に、日本の有力な館長、師範の方々と力を共に 合わせ、ＷＫＯを世界で他の追随を許さない急成長を遂げるべく邁進している次第です。 これには創設に参加した館長や師範の方々の並々ならぬ武道への情熱と愛着に加え、 人種や武道の発祥起源に関係なくＷＫＯ幹部メンバーとしてお互いに払い合った敬意の 中から生まれた強い連帯感が、絆となって連盟発足が実現したのであります。

Sugihara Kancho and Sifu Kancho along with the support of some of the most influential Masters in martial arts from Japanese and international roots have been working tireless to promote the WKO to a rate of growth second to no other martial arts organization in the world. The achievements of the WKO have been possible due to the founding Masters common love for budo, strong and unwavering friendship and respect for every WKO member irrespective of race and ancestry.

これらのマスター（館長、師範）達は、組織や流派間にある政治的軋轢やライバル意識を 克服するべく、遂に行動するに至りました。これまで多くの違った考えを持つ人々の間では、 これを実現することはとうていできなかったのです。シフ館長は、2007年にタイのパタヤにあるコズィー・ビーチに、各自の意見を聞く為に小さ な団体のマスター（館長、師範）達を招きました。5時間に及ぶ長い会合の末に支援の盟約 が満場一致で為され、シフ館長のガイドの下に遂に連盟が発足することとなった次第です。

These masters embarked on a quest to overcome widespread political discord among martial art organizations. A task of which many thought could never be achieved. In 2007, upon the invitation of Sifu Kancho a small group of masters came together at the Cozy Beach Hotel in Pattaya City, Thailand to hear what this man had to say. At the end of a 5-hour meeting all masters unanimously pledged their support to the birth of the World Kumite Organization under Sifu Kancho’s guidance.

日本に置いて影響力とカリスマを備えた強力なパートナーを得ることさえ出来れば、日本の 全流派の師範達を束ねることができ、ＷＫＯを大きく発展させることができるであろうとシフ 館長は確信するに至りました。そこで、シフ館長は親しい友人である長谷川師範とジョージ コロボス師範と長く話し合った結果、この大任を果たすことができる最高の適任者は、 杉原館長以外には存在しないという結論に達したのであります。

Sifu Kancho was convinced the only chance for a prospering WKO was if Japanese partners would join that have the strength, influence and charisma to unite Shihans from all styles all across Japan. Careful preparation went into this thought and after long discussions with his close friends Hasegawa Shihan and George Kolovos Shihan it became clear the best man for this huge responsibility was none other than Sugihara Kancho.

この二人のリーダーが、世界中のマスター達（館長と師範）が共有する武道への並々なら ぬ愛着と情熱に訴えることで彼らを結束させ、ＷＫＯを堅固なものにするべくその時に行動 を起こしたのでした。

It was then when these two masters embarked on the quest to create a powerful WKO and set example by uniting masters all over the world for the their common love of budo.

それ以来、ＷＫＯは継続的にメンバーの支援を行い、驚異的な成長を遂げるに至りました。

Since then, the WKO has continuously brought exceptional support to its members and grew at an astonishing rate.

日本では杉原館長のリーダーシップの下で、格闘技の熱烈な支持者達（ファン）と館長や 師範達を結びつけ、そのことで互いに力強く成長することができると言う模範例を世界に 示したのであります。杉館長杉原は、青少年層に対するＷＫＯの広報活動を極めて一生 懸命に取り組んでおります。シフ館長と杉原館長の両者は、ＷＫＯメンバーのマスター達と 優勝選手（チャンピョン）達が擁く武道への愛着と情熱が、未来を築く上で青春期がどれほ ど重要であるかという認識を全ての人に深めて戴き、そのことが世界組手連盟ＷＫＯをより 力強く堅固なものにするであろうと確信するものであります。

Japan under the leadership of Sugihara Kancho, set an example to the rest of the world and proofed that martial art enthusiast and Masters can be united and grow strong together. Sugihara Kancho worked hard to promote the WKO youth , as both Sifu Kancho and Sugihara Kancho believe our future will be secured due to the WKO masters and champion fighters equal love for budo and understanding of the importance of the youth to build the future and strength of the World Kumite Organization.

現在、日本組手連盟である日本ＷＫＯは、「日本を支えるＷＫＯの若人達」と題して、地区及び全国大会を開催し、青少年達に活躍の場を提供することで日本に貢献したいと考えております。日本ＷＫＯの年少者大会では、一日で実に1900人の選手の参加を記録し、その急成長する勢いを物語ってくれたのであります。

Today, the WKO Japan under the title of “WKO Youth for Japan” is holding record numbers ofregional and national tournaments solely dedicated to the youth: Up to 1’900 entries atsingle day events prove the skyrocketing participation at WKO tournaments for Children inJapan. In such short time Sugihara Kancho has set a true example on the possibilities of theWKO and set the standard for achievements for WKO members outside of Japan.

First, I wish to thank all those who have supported the WKO Over the last 10 years. Since our Inauguration in 2007 we have grown to be one of the largest non-political martial arts organizations in the world and are currently ranked in the top three in Japan. This has all been made possible due to the solid support of Japan WKO lead by Soshi Sugihara and the Secretary General, Shihan Itchikawa.

まず最初に10年来ご支援くださる人々、団体、すべての事柄に私は感謝の意を表したいと思います。２００７年のWKＯ発足以来我々は、世界において巨大規模の非政治武道組織の一つとして成長して参り、そして現在日本のトップ３にランキングされるようになりました。それは一重に杉原宗師と市川事務局長率いられるＷKＯJAPANのサポートによるものであります。

In some regions, we have run into difficulties with non-productive Executive members. Growth and WKO events in those regions have slowed, however in general most regions are averaging a 10 to 17% growth rate in New Dojo’s joining WKO.

我々は幾つかの地域では何の活動も見られない会員との間に問題を抱えているものの、それ以外の地域においては概ね、平均１０～１７パーセントの割合で新しい道場が加盟しています。

Japan has been split into 10 regions which also includes Okinawa and Thailand. For each major tournament held in Japan such as the “All Japan”, The “JAC Athletic Cup”, “WKO Junior All Japan”, “The WKO World Cup “, and the “WKO World Kumite Championships”, each of the 10 regions holds a series of selection tournaments. WKO holds over 100 tournaments per year, not counting minor tournaments promoted by members in different countries.This access to global tournaments is what has attracted many members.

日本は、沖縄とタイを含め１０の地域に区分されており、 “All Japan”, The “JAC Athletic Cup “, “WKO Junior All Japan “, “The WKO World Cup “そして、 the “WKO World Kumite Championships ”のようなメジャートーナメントが開催され、それらの大会の出場選手を選抜するためのトーナメントが１０の地域のそれぞれにおいて行われます。その他にもＷKＯでは世界に分布している支部が企画する、上記の主要大会に数えられていないマイナートーナメントが１年間で１００以上催されています。このようなグローバルトーナメントへの門戸は数多の会員の皆様にとって如何に魅惑的なものでありましょうか。

In 2018, the WKO will be concentrating on the first ever World Cup for Junior students from 6 years up to 18 years old under the banner of the JAC (Japan Athletic Cup). The first tournament will be held in Osaka Japan on February 12th, 2018. For the first time, the top children from around the world now have a chance to compete on a world platform in Japan.

２０１８年に於いて、ＷKＯは the JAC (Japan Athletic Cup) のバナーの下に、２月１２日に大阪に於いて開催される初めてのジュニア（６～１８歳対象）大会に全精力を傾ける所存におります。世界中のトップチルドレンが初めて、日本という世界的プラットフォームに集結して技を競う幸運を手に出来るのです。

WKO will also be concentrating on certifying judges to an international standard with each country being able to produce one national head referee who will be able to referee at the JAC, The WKO World Cup and the WKO Kumite Tournaments. These selected judges will be required to pass an intensive referee examination to be permitted to judge and in turn will be part of the qualifying process for local judges in their regions.

そして二つ目にＷKＯは国際基準に則った審判を認定することに真剣に取り組み、各国に一人 the JAC , The WKO World Cupそして the WKO Kumite Tournaments などに於いて審判員をつとめられる、その国の審判員団のトップとなる人物を送り出すことに尽力したいと思っています。このようにして選出された審判員は審判員として認定されるために集中審判員試験に合格することを求められますが、その後それぞれの地域においてその労に見合う役割を担うこととなります。

The reason we are focusing on the education of judges is due to the vast number of WKO members wanting to hold WKO sanctioned tournaments all over the world… Quality judging means quality tournaments.

我々が審判員の教化、育成に焦点を置く理由は、膨大な数にのぼるＷKＯ会員が世界中でＷKＯ公認トーナメントの開催を心待ちにしているからであります。そして大会に於ける判定、審判の善し悪しは即ち、その大会そのものの善し悪しを決定すると考えているからです。

WKO will also be introducing a WKO fighters card (RED card). This is due to the large number of WKO members. As of 2018 only WKO card holders will be allowed to compete. The cost is minimal at $10 USD, and of the money, the registering Dojo retains $5 USD for sponsorship. The fighters Card (is for kyu grade fighters) and the standard Black card is for Black belts and above.三つ目にＷKＯは数多にのぼる会員数を考慮し、ＷKＯファイターカード（レッドカード）を導入しようと思っています。２０１８年以後はWKOの会員カードを有する者のみが競技参加を認められるようになります。会員カード費用は最低10 US＄でそのうちの半分の5 US＄はその人が所属する道場にスポンサーシップとして保持されます。級位の選手用にはファイターカードそして、黒帯以上の段位を有す選手用にはスタンダードブラックカードがあります。

This system allows the WKO to see which of its members are genuinely active in promoting WKO in their regions. The ID card number will also allow rapid online search of a fighter and their statistics, grade, Age and dojo. This will, in the future, assist promotors to ensure the quality of Tournament draws and give credit to students for their Accomplishments.

このシステムが導入されることによって、その地域でＷKＯの拡大普及に真剣に取り組んでいる会員を我々は見て知ることができます。またこのIDカードは選手の階級、年齢、所属道場などの情報を迅速オンラインサーチすることを可能にします。

The WKO currently does not charge a sanctioning fee for members whom wish to hold a WKO sanctioned tournament however, as of 2018, the tournament will not be allowed to be called a WKO Sanction unless all fighters competing in the tournament have WKO issued cards i.e. the red card or the black card depending on the grade and the certified or recognised WKO supervising judge.

現在我々はＷKＯ公認のトーナメント開催を希望する会員に対して料金を課すことはありませんが、２０１８年からは、そのトーナメントの参加選手全員がＷKＯが発行したカード、即ちＷKＯの審査基準によってそれぞれのグレードに認定され発行されたレッドカードかブラックカードを 所持していない限り、ＷKＯ公認トーナメントと称することは許されなくなります。

All results from such tournaments will then be filed with the Hombu dojo and uploaded onto the website as public information. Due to this, we need to ensure that the selection tournaments, or any tournament in relation to the WKO, is of international standard and the results being handed to them are true and correct before it is published on the public domain.

そのようにして開催されたトーナメントの結果のすべては本部道場に纏めてファイルされ、一般公開情報としてウェブサイトにアップロードされます。このような扱いがなされるのは、国際基準に準拠したＷKＯと関連のある如何なるトーナメントあるいは選抜トーナメントの結果は、公表される前に真実であるかどうかを我々は確認する必要があるからです。

Due to the strength and the growth of the WKO in some regions, members have abused this power to control or dominate in the regions to try and promote their systems, when in fact the WKO tournament promoters should utilise the WKO as a platform to promote all styles that are current members of the organization. Therefore, when holding a WKO selection tournament, it needs to be done on a nonbiased platform giving opportunity to all styles, regardless of their size and all systems.

ある地域には、その地域を掌握するためにＷKＯの力を濫用する会員がいます。ＷKＯトーナメントの主催者はこの組織の会員となっているすべての流派の発展を促すためのプラットフォームとしてＷKＯという組織を利用するべきであり、それゆえWKOの選抜トーナメントを行う場合には流派の勢力の大小に関係なく、個々の会員に機会が与えられなければなりません。

WKO has a lot to offer its members. But with this comes a high price. That is why your support goes a long way in the growth of our organization.

WKOには会員の皆様に提供出来る多くのものがありますが、それらには高い代価が伴います、なぜなら皆様方の支援が我々の組織の発展に結びつくためには長い長い年月を要するからです。

WKO currently has two Hombus. One of which is in Okinawa and the other in Pattaya, Thailand. The reason we have two Hombus is mainly due to the strict Visa implications of entering Japan which makes it hard for some Southeast Asian countries to visit and train and can often be very expensive, whereas Thailand is Visa free for most countries and very inexpensive. The Thailand hombu also offers accommodation at discounted rates which makes it possible for countries to be able to utilise it for their own private camps or seminars, or just attend training at the Hombu Dojo. Currently the cost to run the WKO is over one million USD per year just to fund the Japan Hombu, the International Hombu and organizing international events, airfares, hotels and administration.

現在、WKOには沖縄とパタヤの二つの本部があります。我々が二つの本部を構える主な理由は、一部の東南アジアの国々の人々にとっては、日本入国ビザの取得が困難であり、また彼らにとって日本に滞在してトレーニングするための費用は多くの場合高額で重い負担となるからです。一方タイ国は多くの国々の人々に対してビザは不要で、物価も日本に比べ安価であります。またタイ本部は割引料金で宿泊先を提供しており、そのような宿泊先は会員の皆様の個人的なキャンプ、セミナーあるいは単に本部道場で行われているトレーニングに参加する場合にも利用することが可能です。現在WKOの運営コストは、日本本部、国際本部、国際興業、航空券を含む交通費、宿泊費そして管理費を含めて年間100万US＄以上となっています。

For the first 7 years WKO failed to make a profit, running at a massive loss and relying on corporate sponsorship and personal cash injection. However, for the last three years the WKO has started to almost break even. By 2018, the WKO feels that we can be at a breakeven point. However, this can only be achieved with the support of our members and by those who are genuinely out there to help the WKO grow over the next decade.

最初の７年間は毎年赤字決算、大きな損出を伴ってWKOは運営され、企業によるスポンサーシップと個人的な投資で補填し、この三年間の経営状況はほぼ破綻し始めています。2018年にも

WKOは破綻しうると我々は感じていますが、会員の皆様のご支援と、真にWKOを支えようとする人々のお力添えによってのみ、次の十年間におけるWKOの発展は可能であると考えています。

In relation to the Olympic games and the involvement of full contact karate, WKO senior members have unanimously agreed that this is not the path in which the organization should follow. We have no objection to any WKO Dojo’s whom wish to align with Olympic selection or such organizations that offer this, however, we at the WKO believe that the balance between Budo and Martial arts needs to be our prime objective.

オリンピック競技とフルコンタクト空手の関連についてのWKOの古参者間の協議では、その道は我々の組織が歩み進むべき道ではないということで満場一致しております。たとえオリンピック選抜大会あるいは、オリンピックと関係する団体と連携、提携するWKO道場があったとしても、我々はその活動に如何なる異論もありませんが、しかしながら武道と格闘技との間に均衡を保つことこそがWKOの主眼であるという信念を我々は持っています。

Inclosing,

最後になりましたが、

Together we have come a long way and we will continue to grow in the future. Some of the decisions made have not been appealing to some members. However, in an organization as large as The WKO has become, we cannot please all. We do our best to make decisions based on rewards, benefits, contributions, and solid set statistical data of growth from our members in the regions. The new card system will enable the administration to truly see where WKO support is needed based on its growth.

我々は共に長い道程を歩み、我々の発展は未来へと続くでしょう。幾つかの決定はある会員の方々にとって好ましく映らなかったと思いますが、WKOのような規模を持つ組織の場合、会員全員を満足させることは難しいことなのです。我々は報酬、収益と貢献そして各地の会員からの発展状況の統計データを基に最も良いと思う決定をくだしました。新しい会員証制度はWKOの発展のために、どの部分に我々は手を差しのべるべきであるかという正しい組織の運営指針を示すことになりましょう。

The world we live in now is being judged harshly based on people’s belief, religion, or their political involvement. Where as in the world most of us teachers grew up in an environment where you were judged on your contribution to the world and by your actions.

私たちが今住んでいる世界は、人々の信念、宗教、政治的関与に基づいて厳しく判断されています。世界のどこかで教師の大半は、あなたが世界への貢献とあなたの行動によって判断された環境。

As teachers, we cannot be politicians, as politicians make promises to gain votes. Teachers must be judged by our ability to perform and by how we teach and how we pass on our knowledge so that students may benefit. Politicians make up lies and sometimes make promises to gain votes, but as teachers, our main concern should be the passing on of knowledge and the enhancement and advancement of our students and members so that when we are gone our name, our styles, and the organizations that we belong to along with the teachings that we taught are passed on and not forgotten. So, my pledge to WKO Members is to continue to pass on knowledge for as long as I possibly can and to continue to support those who support me and the WKO into the Next decade.

教える者として私達は政治家である事はできません。なぜなら政治家とは人々から少しでも多くの票を得んがためには約束もすれば、嘘も言う人々だからです。教えを授ける者として我々は、実践力、どのような教え方をするのか、そして教えを受ける者にとって益となるように如何に知識を伝えるのかという観点から判定をくだされるべきであり、教師は我々の子弟や会員を強化、前進させるような知識の伝授に心傾けるべきであります。

我々が此の世を去る時、我々の名、所属している流派、組織は我々の教えと共にあり、そのような仕事は受け継がれ忘れられることはありません。だから私は可能な限り知識の伝授を続け、また私と、この先の十年間のWKOを支えてくださる人々を支援するとお約束致します。

合掌W・K・O世界組手連盟１０周年記念大会の開催、シフ・ロバート・マッキネス会長ならびに加盟団体の師範先生方そして関係各位の皆様方、誠におめでとうございます。今、考えますと２００７年に海外から数名の師範がタイ・パタヤに集まり、シフ館長からW・K・Oの理想と理念を聞いたとき、意気投合し、極真会館の長谷川師範らと共にW・K・Oジャパンを発足させようと立ち上がり、シフ館長と兄弟つきあいがはじまりました。シフ館長はこの１０年間、肉体的にも精神的にも金銭的にも惜しみなく時間を費やし、世界各地にW・K・Oを広められました。私も市川事務局長という良きパートナーに恵まれ、日本国内を北海道から沖縄まで１０ブロックに編成し、ブロック長らと共に２０以上の指定大会を開催するに至りました。そしてこの度ユースのチャンピオンばかりが集うジャパン・アスリートカップ（JAC）が２０１８年２月１２日にエディオンアリーナ（大阪府立体育会館）にて開催されます。そしてこの大会に世界より選抜された選手達も参加予定であり、ユースの国際大会に発展すると確信しております。そして世界各国の師範先生方が人種や宗教や文化の違い、流派の壁を乗り越え武道としての空手を通じ青少年育成や社会に貢献できる人材を一人でも多く輩出できるようW・K・Oの理念を基邁進していただきたいと思っております。空手最高、ＷＫＯ世界組手連盟バンザイ！

Congratulations to the World Kumite Organization on its 10th year anniversary and to Kaicho Sifu Robert Mcinnes, president of WKO, all Shihans, Senseis and everybody who has supported the world Kumite Organization during the past decade.

I remember that in 2007 several Shihans from different countries gathered in Pattaya, Thailand. After hearing Kancho Sifu’s idea about WKO, many of them got confused and we then started to build WKO Japan together with Shihan Hasegawa of Kyokushin Kaikan and our brothership with Sifu Kancho started.

During these years Kancho Sifu has spent all of his efforts generously, spiritually, and financially full time to spread WKO all over the world.

I was also blessed with the help of my partner Shihan Ichikawa, the General Secretary of WKO Japan, and together we have expended WKO all over the country from Hokkaido to Okinawa and divided it into 10 blocks. Now we hold more than 20 major tournaments annually in Japan with the help of these blocks leaders.

In 2018 the WKO will concentrate on the first ever World Cup for Junior students from 6 years up to 18 years old under the banner of the JAC (Japan Athletic Cup). This tournament is the first of its kind and will be held at Edion Arena (Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium) on February 12th, 2018.

I am glad that the top selected children from around the world will have a chance to compete in this special great international tournament.

This is the philosophy of WKO that enables Shihans and Senseis to overcome their race, religion, and cultural differences and to break down the walls between different karate styles and to feel the Budo and true Karate and to teach and grow many good students who can contribute to youth development and society through karate as martial arts. We want to promote the basis for the society.

Karate is GreatViva World Kumite OrganizationOsu

This bond between Sugihara Soshi and Sifu Kancho is a very special bond , like twins they both think the same and despite the language difference these two seem to know every thought of each other and when together are virtually inseparable. This bond is due to their both having a deep respect for each other and a strong love for Budo and teaching martial arts. Together they can always be seen laughing and enjoying life and both work diligently to preserve the first organization in decades that has finally given the world a platform that truly works for its members and opens doors for its members that many never previously had. The love these two have for each other sets and example to us all that through the strength of friendship nothing is impossible.

These two great masters can be seen many times training together, swapping

ideas and learning from each other with open minds so as they can pass on knowledge to their students . Both Soshi and Kancho Sifu feel martial arts is forever growing and changing arts and that if the leaders don't open their minds and work together then they are restricting the growth of the Arts in which they lead or teach.

What is strange to some but inspiring to others is that these to men stand side beside with now power struggle to control one of the largest organizations in the world, instead they work to build. Soshi once said to Sifu Kancho “ if I only had time for two friends in the rest of my life I am happy those friends are you and Shihan Itchicawa.” Some say after Soshi said this Sifu Kancho , Itchicawa Shihan and Soshi ate Yakiniku , and got terribly drunk. And each time they meet they preform the same ritual to remind them of their friendship. Sifu Kancho once said “ In my life time have been all over the world teaching and I have meet many great people , but there will only ever be one Soshi Sugihara and to have him as my brother and friend gave me the inspiration to build the WKO “.

杉原宗師とシフ館長の絆は極めて特別な絆であり、それはまるで双子のようです。二人は同じように思考し、異なる言語を母国語とするにもかかわらず、お互いが思い、考えていることを全て見通しているようであり、実際、二人が一緒にいるときに、離れ離れにすることは不可能なのであります。

この二人の絆は、お互いに深く尊敬しあっているからであり、また武道と武士道を強く深く愛していることに起因しています。二人が揃うと笑顔の絶えることがなく、常に人生を満喫できるのです。

二人は勤勉であり、それまで何十年もの間世界に存在しなかった、WKOという連盟を維持するのに共に心血を注いできました。

そしてついにWKOは、世界にプラットフォームを与えるに至るのです。そのプラットフォームは会員のために真に機能し、それまで与えられることのなかった門戸を、多くの会員に開いているのです。

この二人の信と情は我々に　”友情の前では不可能なことはない”という実例を示しているのです。

この二人の偉大なマスターが共に鍛錬し、腹を割ってアイデアを交わし、心を開き学び合う光景を、頻繁に目にするでしょう。それは、二人のそれぞれの弟子達に、相手から得た知識を伝えるためであります。

杉原宗師とシフ館長が共に武道について感じていることとは、

武道は常に進化と変化を続けるものであるということで、そして、もしリーダーが頭脳明晰、聡明でなかったり、他派、他組織とともに協力することのない人物であるならば（頭が固く、心も狭い指導者であるならば）、その人物が指導する武道は限定され、進化していかなくなるっということであります。

この二人をみて、こんなことが有り得るのかとある人は驚き、こんな風に在りたいものだ、とまたある人が羨望することとは、

世界で名高い連盟の一つ（WKO）を統べるに権力闘争することなく、争う代わりにさらに連盟を強く、大きく打ち立てるため二人が寄り添っていることであります。

”わたしの余生で二人の友のための時間だけが残されているとしたら、その二人の友があなたと市川師範であれば嬉しいと思います。”

っと、宗師は館長に向かって言ったことがありました。

宗師がこの話をした後に、シフ館長と市川師範と杉原宗師の三人は焼肉屋でひどく酔ったので、それからというものこの三方が揃ったときはいつも、彼らの友情を思い起こすため、何はさておき焼肉屋へ向かうというのがお決まりになりました…

などと話をする者も出てきました。

また、シフ館長はこんなことを言ったことがありました。

私はこれまで指導のために世界中を回り、それは多くの偉大な人物と出会ってきたけれど、宗師のような方はひとりしかいなかったし、またこれからもたった一人しか存在しないだろう。そして彼を自分の兄弟に、また友としておきたいという一念が私に、WKO設立を霊感させたのだと。

残念なことですが、その人が所属している地区、地域、あるいは国の武道界で権力を得たり、支配せんが為に、WKOでの己の地位を濫用しようとする人がいます。

こういう輩は、武の道から外れているだけでなく、その行為は許されざるものであります。WKOは世界中の国々の政府とスポーツ機関に強い影響力をもっています。WKOはこの力を、我々の組織の評判を傷付け、汚す行いをする、いかなるWKO代表、支部長をも解任するために行使致します。WKOは常に、政治と権力闘争の外に保たれねばなりません。

いくつかの国においては、複数の代表が後輩先輩関係を基に共に仕事をし、成果をあげています。日本は10の地区に分かれており、それぞれの地区は、男性であろうとも、女性であろうとも、その代表者の手腕により会員と調整を図りながら、結束を固めています。

WKOJAPANの事務局長であられる市川師範は、これらの地区の代表者と会員の要求を集約、監査し、そしてそれを杉原宗師と、シフ館長に報告します。

このやり方は全ての国に適用できる素晴らしい方法であり、その組織でのその人の地位（WKOでのポスト）とは、飽くまでもその連盟内で権限が発揮されるべきものであり、WKO共同体が有すマスター（師範、先生）の身分とは、後輩先輩関係を基盤とし、そして我々のこの偉大な組織の発展のために、その人物が如何にその力を尽くしたかによるものであります。

結束は力を築く、皆さんが力を合わせれば合わせるほど、我々は強く成長し、そしてあなたがどこかに、なにかに陥ったときには、他の誰かが底からあなたを助けてくれることでしょう。

Some have tried to use their position in the WKO to exert power and try to control martial arts in there regions. This simply is not Budo and is unacceptable. WKO has a lot of influence with many governments and

sports organizations around the world and will use this influence to dismiss any WKO representative who’s actions may tarnish the reputation of our organization. Politics and power struggles are to be kept

out of the WKO.

In some countries we have more than one representatives working together under a Kohai Sempai system to create growth.

In Japan we have 10 regions with a Shibucho controlling each of these regions based on his or her ability to coordinate and unite members . The secretary General Shihan Itchicawa

organizes and administrates the requirements of these Branch Chiefs and Members and reports to Soshi Sugihara and Sifu Kancho.

This system works and is a great method for all countries.

The position each holds in the organization is purely for the working structure of the organization. The status each master holds in the WKO community is based on Khohi Sempai and how much that person puts into the growth of our great organization.

Unity builds strength. The better everyone works together the stronger we grow and when you fall down there will be others to help you up.
