Tournament Team
We welcome all active karate students to participate in our award-winning Tournament Team. Our school attends 5-7 tournaments annually. Students can compete based on their age and ability level in the disciplines of kata, weapons forms, self-defense routines, point sparring, flag sparring, sword fighting, and team musical forms.
STEP #1 TO COMPETING: Be active in your regular classes and become proficient at the basic techniques within your belt rank.
STEP #2 TO COMPETING: Talk to Mr. Johnson! Let him know of your interest in becoming involved in the Tournament Team. He will discuss with you the individual needs and goals for your student as well as the future tournament schedule. You may not be able to complete all divisions right away.
STEP #3 TO COMPETING: Register at the front desk for Tournament Team (see the flyer for tuition information and class schedules). Order through the store your tournament team uniform, bag, and any equipment if needed.
