Kachi Karate was established in 1999 by the founder and President, Sensei Robert Koncal in Europe – Slovakia. After several years, it became the biggest karate dojo in Slovakia. Many of the Kachi students participate in the most prestigious karate tournaments around the world. They have achieved many local, national, and international titles. Since Kachi Karate has started, we have produced many National, European, and World medalists and champions.
The name Kachi means to win, which is part of our dojo philosophy. “Everyone can become a winner!” At our dojo, winning is not the most important criteria. Our goal is to help every student build self confidence and improve every aspect of their life. At Kachi Karate, we teach traditional Goju-Ryu karate. The Goju-Ryu style of karate is one of the four major styles of karate in the world which is also recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
Our school is a part of Seiwakai Karate which is one of the strongest Goju-Ryu karate groups in Japan and also around the world. We are also affiliated with JKF Goju-Kai, which is all of the Goju-Ryu organizations in Japan. Being a part of these organizations, our students have the privilege to train with the finest Japanese Goju-Ryu instructors. Our Slovakian branch is also a part of the EKF (European Karate Federation) and WKF (World Karate Federation) which are both affiliated to the IOC.
