IFK Uruguay has adapted to this unusual year with social distancing due to COVID-19. Thus, IFK Uruguay 6th annual National Tournament covering several modalities for 2020 took the form of a Kata Virtual Tournament with over 50 competitors.
This has proved to be an excellent way to keep everyone motivated, training, and technically improving, even when the living rooms and yards have become our Dojos and we can only see each other virtually.
