Tournaments

UTKC members are fully encouraged to compete in tournaments. Tournaments can be a very exciting and rewarding experience and provide a good opportunity to test your skills and abilities. The training and preparation, the spirit of competition, and the camaraderie of competing alongside your UTKC teammates are all part of the tournament experience.





Through UTKC, you will have the opportunity to compete in events, including:
1. Karate Ontario Grand Prix Tournaments
2. Inter-University Tournament
3. Jinbukai Tournament

Competitors can choose to compete in the following categories of events:

1. Individual Kata (forms)
2. Team Kata (synchronized forms)
3. Kumite (free sparring)
  At the black belt level, regular competitors in Karate Ontario Grand Prix Tournaments may also     qualify to compete in the Canadian National Karate Championships, and beyond that, the World Championships.

The UTKC is recognized by Sport Canada through our affiliation with Karate Ontario. Our members also have the opportunity to represent Canada at international competitions such as the North American Cup and the Pan American Games. Only clubs which are recognized by Sport Canada, such as the UTKC, are eligible to compete for Canada.
