OPEN  CEREMONY :---- FRIDAY 6 TH MAY 17,30

     The Swiss Karate Society and Switzerland as the host country are looking forward to seeing and celebrating karate at its finest on May 2011.

     The sport of karate in our country started off in the early 60'ies. The father of Swiss karate, Bernard Cherix, was one of the founding members of today's European Karate Federation. The Swiss Karate Federation already hosted the European Championships 1978 in Geneva and 1986 in Sion.
This tradition and a highly motivated Organizing Committee are building the base to prepare and execute the European Championships 2011 successfully.

        Zurich is the powerhouse of Switzerland; vibrant and dynamic.

        Zurich is the venue for many sports, for classic music or jazz lovers, for theater and opera fans and for budokas.

       Zurich residents have reasons to be proud of their city - called Turicum by the ancient Romains - since it has been continuously elected for years among the cities with top quality of life in the world.

       With the European Championships the cosmopolitan city also puts a strong focus now on the world of karate. We all are looking forward to an exciting and emotional tournament.

President Swiss Karate Federation
