Competition Team
Thursday Nights from 6:45 to 7:30
Family Karate Center's Competition/Demo Team is a select group of students who have shown great promise as strong, all around Karate-ka. Students who are members of the team represent our school at tournaments (local, state, national and international), schools, parades, and fairs.
The team is open to all ages and ranks, but we do ask for a commitment from each member. The students are required to give maximum effort, take extra classes and have good citizenship both in and outside of the Dojo.
Curriculum for the Team includes advanced kata, synchronized kata, ippon kumite, self defense, sparring, team sparring and weapons.
Parental and family support is essential to the student who participates on the team. The Family Karate Center has always placed the well being and personal growth of the individual first, and that always means having the family involved.

- Opportunities to travel to East Coast Regional, National And International Martial Arts Competitions
- Three extra hours of advance kata and weapons training each month
- Special Seminars on sparring, kata, weapons, and bunkai.
- Recognition as "leaders" in the school.
- Compete for special awards from the Carolina Karate Alliance (CKA) and the World Karate Union (WKU).
