Why
“Fighting Divisions” only? We recognize that Forms/Kata is an integral part of Martial Arts Training, HOWEVER, Forms/Kata are preparation for what Martial Arts is for…To Fight. Champions are recognized as the “best in division” for the day. But, the greatest benefit is all competitor will be able to assess their own skills, experience and learn other techniques, and meet some of the best Karate Athletes in the country.
