1765 Biesterfield Road, Elk Grove.
TIME: All Yellow &
Orange
Belts check in at 8:00am
All
Purple Belts and Higher Check in at 11:30am
The
Technique Competition is a great learning experience for all
students! It promotes a healthy competitive spirit, self-confidence,
and
courage!! There will be two events which
students will be working on with different instructors; form (best
technique of
blocks, kicks, & punches) and light contact sparring for
pre-yellow
through orange belts. **Purple belts and higher will have harder
contact.
Students will be assigned to ring depending on age and belt color.
The
first hour will be devoted to forms training. The students will learn
how to
create their own form and how to use it to practice all the skills they
have
learned in class. The next hour will be spent on sparring training. Students will spar against other Champion
Youth students of the same/similar age group and belt color*(Some
purple belts
and higher may be moved up into new rings if there are only one or two
students
practicing in their ring.) Instructors will help teach younger students
the
basics of sparring while the older students will work on refining their
more
advanced sparring techniques. After sparring, all the students will
then be
lined up for the competition by rank. (Yellow Belts vs. Yellow Belts
etc.) Students will compete for Best
Punch, Best
Kick, and Best Block etc. All students will receive a neck medallion,
and a
chance to win a Karate Trophy!!
Champion
Youth Instructors will be conducting self-defense
demonstrations and board/brick breaking; always a crowd favorite! Additional information regarding the
Technique Competition will be distributed at class in the next few
weeks. Mark your calendar for Saturday April
24th! It's an event you
will not want to miss!

REGISTRATION PROCEDURE
(Please
read carefully)
At class,
your Sensei will have
the registration form and liability release on one sheet.
To register, simply fill this out and turn in
your fee: $25 for pre-yellow, yellow and orange belts or $30 for purple
and higher.
The day of
the competition,
simply tell us your name when you go to buy your spectator tickets. You
will be
on the Competitor List. We have found this pre-registration procedure
reduces
the amount of time spent standing in line and delaying the start time
the day
of the competition. We will be checking competitors in at 8:00(Purple
and
Higher Belts at 11:30). It is $5 more to pay at the door ($25/$35). Competitor’s fees are non-refundable for
absentees.
You need to
sign up (and pay
the competitor’s fee) for the tournament with your Sensei no later than
April
22nd. If we do not have a minimum number
of students, we will be forced to cancel the competition and will
return your
fees.
IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER…
1)
All students need their own
uniform,
cup, mouthpiece, and hand and footpads in order to attend!
2)
Purple belts and higher
need to have
their chest gear and headgear for the sparring training.

any further questions please call us
