About Gothenburg Karate Open
The tournament was established in 2003 as a youth competition. Over the years, the event has developed and the number of categories has expanded.
Before the pandemic, the competition was held twice per year: a pure kumite competition in the autumn, and a combined kata and kumite event in the spring.
Liseberg Amusement Park has always been a major attraction for the competition.
