Regional tournaments run March to June. They're the friendliest first step into competition — ask your instructor in class, and they'll get you on the mat. Entries for the majors are handled through the club's national entry system.
Why compete
Compete against

yourself first
GKR classes are non-competitive — tournaments are where you choose to test what you've built, at your own grade, against your own nerves.
- Kata and kumite divisions for every age and every grade
- Protective equipment and strict control rules in all kumite events
- First-timers welcome — most competitors' first tournament is a regional
- The camaraderie is the point: three countries, one club
