TRADITIONAL KARATE & KOBUDO NO MICHI INVITATIONAL TOURNAMENT

Dear Dojo Owners,

We are thrilled to extend a warm invitation from KENWYN MARTIAL ARTS CENTRE and JION MARTIAL ARTS CENTRE Collaboration to your martial arts school for this year’s KMAC/JION Invitational tournament!

As the Western Province Karate & Kobudo ranking tournament, the KMAC and JION is a PROVINCIAL RANKING TOURNAMENT which promises to be an exciting and competitive event, where camaraderie meets fierce competition. These leagues are designed to foster friendship, participation, and interaction among dojos, regardless of style or organization. We would be delighted to have you join us for this fantastic event.

Why Participate?

These PRT provide an excellent opportunity for your dojo to:

• Introduce Novices: Allow your beginner students to experience a competitive environment in a friendly setting.
• Prepare Athletes: Give your experienced competitors the perfect preparation for upcoming provincial and national tournaments.

Ranking System & Selection Criteria

Participation in the KMAC/JION is part of the Karate & Kobudo Provincial Ranking System, which contributes to both provincial rankings and the selection criteria for WUKF SA National Championships. Each competitor’s performance will influence their ranking, creating a transparent and fair process for team selection at both provincial and national levels.
