These are the recommended tournaments for the students of USA Karate. Other events will be available to attend that are not on this list. If you plan to attend any of these events, please let Shihan Joni know as soon as possible. Our hope is to have a parent/athlete meeting very soon to determine a plan for the success and potential funding of our travelling amateur athletes.
