    Not interested in competition, but still want to participate and donate to a good cause?
    Consider joining our newest division, the Demonstrative Division.

    Instead of competing for a trophy or medal, you will be presenting simply to raise money and awareness for the New England Martial Arts Foundation. We’d love for you to join the efforts of our non-profit charity as we strive to raise money for martial artists who cannot otherwise afford tuition or other supplies.

    You are welcome to present any Kata or Kumite of your choosing, and it can be pre-existing or freestyled.

Tournament Schedule (Tentative)

Please note that while we’ll do our best to stay on schedule, division times are approximate and may run ahead or behind schedule. It is strongly recommended that you arrive a half hour before your listed Division time.

Thank you for your understanding and patience.
