ALL participants that attend classes at USA Karate Academy are strongly encouraged to attend the event as part of learning the aspect of sport karate.   Classes on Saturday will not be available on Saturday, October 22, 2011, due to this family focused on fun event.

We invite everyone to bring their own light snacks, water and sport drinks, ONLY WATER is allowed in the Gymnasium, there is a snack area that is designated for consuming snacks.   

Immediately following the event, there will be a Pizza Party at the dojo. 

FAQS:

What do our students and their family need to do?  They need to sign up to volunteer as time and score keepers for this event.  There is a sign up sheet on the display cases at the dojo.  They also need to register as soon as possible if they plan to participate.

Is it too late to register?  It is not too late to register, but the sooner you do, the smoother the competition day will run. 

Want to compete, but don’t feel ready? This tournament is the perfect one for you because it is a practice event that will allow each participant to get their feet wet and experience a tournament without the fear of failure.  The greatest obstacle students must overcome is the fear of the unknown, but class content has been geared toward preparing for this event, so everyone should give it a try.

We need more details or have questions not answered yet? Talk to Shihan Joni, Sensei Tony, Sensei Justin, Sempai Anel or Jan.  Each one of our staff members will try to answer your questions and help you understand the process.

Not Watching the Rome Tournament, Really

February 15, 2009

There does not appear to be a video feed of the tournament. There’s only a 28-second clip, with stills and voice-over, which appears to advertise the tournament. (I don’t speak Italian, so I don’t really know what is said.)


How to Really Watch the Rome Tournament

I won’t know for sure until it starts but the menus seem to have changed. It appears that this URL leads directly to the broadcast.
