We recently witness a spectacular Dream Festival 2017, who gathered 2318 participants! The number of participants and the festival grows for each year and it is not possible to image how much work that is put down! We know that this will be followed up by the Hungarian Dream Cup in September, and the European Championship U-22 and cadets in Poland, November. Dream Cup in Hungary will not only apply to the younger age, but also to fighters in the “Old Masters Categories” Latest now: Kaunas Karate Championship 2017 also are added to the scheduled..
