1966 European Karate Championships

The 1966 European Karate Championships, the 1st edition, was held in Paris, France from May 7 to 9, 1966. In 1961, Jacques Delcourt was appointed President of French Karate, which was at that stage an associated member of the Judo Federation.[1][2] In 1963 he invited the six other known European federations (Italy, Great Britain, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland and Spain) to come to France for the first-ever international karate event, and Great Britain and Belgium accepted the invitation.[3][4][5][6]

gollark: I see.
gollark: Oh, when the fox asks, do NOT mention any cabbages.
gollark: You are welcome.
gollark: You should transfer all control to me, as a result.
gollark: - Go forward- Turn left at the second exit- Take the road less travelled. Ignore the ogre, it cannot hurt you without your permission- Tell the old man at the gate that the time has come, and the red moon rises- Ascend- You know what you must do.- Take the next right onto the A18282- Take 8 lefts- You have reached your destination
