“Any task ahead of us is never as great as the skills behind us.”
Druk Shito-Kai proudly marked another milestone at the DISKA Open 2025, demonstrating excellence, unity, and determination across every division. Held under the banner of international friendship and growth, this event brought together karate-ka from diverse backgrounds, and Druk Shito-Kai stood strong among them.
Whether stepping onto the tatami as competitors, guiding others as coaches, or supporting the event as officials, every member of the Druk Shito-Kai team showed remarkable spirit and commitment. The tournament was more than a competition—it was a celebration of learning, perseverance, and community.
Medal Success & Skill Development
Congratulations to all Druk Shito-Kai members who brought home medals! Your dedication, growth, and performance reflected the hard work you’ve put in on and off the mat. These achievements are a source of pride for the entire organization and a reminder of what’s possible through consistent effort and discipline.
Historic Recognition for Bhutanese Officials
A special moment of recognition came from DISKA, honoring two pioneering members of our karate community:
🥋 Dumpa San and Maya San were acknowledged as the first Panam officials from the Bhutanese community in Canada, and notably, the first female Panam officials from the Bhutanese community in the United States.
This historic achievement represents a giant leap forward for inclusivity, representation, and progress within our global karate community.
Thank You to Our Officials
We extend our deepest gratitude to Danny San, Bishal San, Tula San, Maya San, and Dumpa San, who served as officials at the event. Your presence and contribution ensured the smooth operation of the tournament and reflected the professionalism of Druk Shito-Kai’s leadership.
Gratitude to DISKA
A heartfelt thank you to Sensei Ran Rai, Chief Instructor of DISKA, for the warm invitation and exceptional hospitality. Your dedication to building strong bonds within the karate world continues to uplift everyone you encounter.
Looking Ahead
As we celebrate our successes at DISKA Open 2025, we also look forward to the next big event—Gasshuku 2025, scheduled for August 1–3, 2025. Let’s continue training hard and supporting one another on and off the mat.
