The Eastern Regional Karate Championships will be May 4, 2024 at Montgomery College in Rockville in the Physical Education building. All martial arts styles are invited to join us for a day of friendly competition and camaraderie.
Trophies will be awarded for first through third place in kata, fighting (non-contact, dipped foam gear required), weapons, one-step sparring, and breaking (black belts 16 and older only for breaking). We encourage energy and creativity, but please–no music! Click on the links below for details and more information.
Black belt kata (including weapons and one-step) starts at 10am sharp. Divisions below black belt will begin after the Grand Champions are determined for the black belt kata divisions. Competitors below black belt should check into their rings by 11:30am.
Registration for individuals must be done online. The cost is $55 for one or more events; $5 for all spectators, and $10 for 2 or more spectators. Bring the whole family! There is a $5 discount for any competitor who registers before April 27th. Groups of 5 or more from the same school will be eligible to receive a $5 discount code if they contact us directly.
