Divisions for Kata (forms) and Self Defense have been determined by age and rank. Divisions for Grappling have been determined by age\, rank\, size and gender whenever possible. \nMedals for competitors will be awarded for first\, second and third place\, and all runners-up will receive a winner’s medal. Points will be awarded towards the Grand Prize Cups as follows: 4 for a first\, 3 for a second\, 2 for a third place and 1 for everyone else.  One point will also be awarded for each competitor in the Beginner Show Division. \nThe points will be tallied and the winning school will take the bragging rights for one of the 3 Grand Prize Cups \n1. The Nick Cerio Memorial Cup – awarded to the CSSD school with the most points. \n2. The Private School Cup – awarded to the after school karate program at a private school with the most points. \n3. The Public School Cup – awarded to the after school karate program at a public school with the most points. \nOne of our most popular events is our Beginners’ Show Division. This is an introduction to tournament competition for our youngest and newest members (ages 3-6 white &\, yellow belts. This division allows the children to compete in an individual AND group format (think dance recital). All competitors in this division receive a trophy for their participation. These children may also compete in one of the other divisions if they choose to (+ $10 per division). \nCarefully review the division times found on the cover sheet and be sure to arrive 20-30 minutes prior to your division starting time. \nAlso\, it is mandatory in Self Defense Divisions that your Self Defense Partner/Uke is with you at the time your division starts\, and must be at least your rank or one color belt higher. In addition\, they are required to wear headgear (provided) – NO EXCEPTIONS. \nAs always\, we strive to make this event as successful as possible and appreciate you showing your support by competing and attending.

No gymnastics. Full karate uniform required.\nAll ranks will compete in the same division.\nStudent must provide their own weapons.\nJudging based on: Stances\, Power\, Focus\, Mechanics\, Presentation.\n\nTournament Procedures and Etiquette\nCompetition can be a stressful and nerve racking event for your child. That is okay. One of the reasons for organizing these tournaments and especially the beginner show divisions\, is to guide your child through this competitive experience successfully. Not to remove all the stress\, but rather to help them overcome their nervousness and have a safe\, fun and successful event. The idea being that they can build on this small success and carry their new-found confidence into other parts of their life. Remember that this is probably one of the reasons you got them into Karate in the first place! \nWhen you arrive\, look for the registration table. Your child will be given their competitors wrist band (which they will wear for the duration)\, custom tournament shirt (if you are one of first 20 registered – more will be available for sale at the Tournament) and registration form showing the events they are competing in. They keep this registration form with them throughout the tournament (stuff it in their jacket). \nWhen the judges are preparing their rings for competition\, they will call out the divisions and the names of the kids registered for that event. The kids will then be asked to sit down around the ring and wait to be called. “Walk-on\,” “Last minute” and “just changed my mind” competitors\, must bring their registration forms to the judge to be added to the division. \nIn SELF DEFENSE and KATA\, the first three competitors will be called out and perform their material without\nindividual scoring. When all three are finished\, they will be called back to receive their scores. This allows the\njudges to get a sense of the “field” and score more fairly and consistently. From this point forward all competitors\nwill be scored immediately following their performance. \nSit quietly in seiza (kneeling position) or cross legged. Always remember your principles of conduct (effort\, etiquette\, sincerity\, character and self control) to insure you behave properly and with respect. \nWhen the judges call your name:Stand up tall\, raise your right hand and in a loud voice shout: “Judges!”Walk to the edge of the ring and bow into the competition area.Run to the center of the ring and then turn to face the judges. \n\nWalk forwards to about 6 feet away from the judges.\nBow towards the judges.\nStep out into a Ready Stance\, Punch down with both hands\, and Kiai loudly (Karate shout).\nSay the following (or something similar)\, in a loud\, slow and clear voice:- Judges\, my name is ………………….\n– My style is “…………………”\n– I represent “sensei ……………” and the “……………… Dojo”\n– I will be performing…………………..\n– With your permission\, may I begin\, Sir!\nThe judges will nod for you to start.\nBow to the judges and then move (without turning your back to the judges) to the area or space to perform your kata or self defense techniques. Stand in front position\, take a few deep breaths\, relax\, and then…\nBegin your kata or self defense techniques.\nBow at the end of your kata or to your partner following self defense techniques.\nTurn to face the judges and then step out into a ready stance and kiai\, and wait quietly for your score. After receiving your score bow to the judges\, and back out of the ring\, bowing at the edge. Return to your place but remember to NEVER turn your back to the judges.\n\nWhen you are using an Uke/partner for your self defense techniques\, remember to pick him/her before the tournament\, their job is to make you look good\, so practice! Your Uke should stand up right after you have been called by the judges. When you walk to the center of the mat\, your Uke will stand in front position one step behind you to the right. Do not forget to bow to your Uke before and after your session. Self Defense techniques are done in the following order: \n\nPunch Defense\nGrab Defense\nWeapon Defense.\nYou must announce each defense before you do it:  “Punch Defense!” ……. then do the technique\, this also helps your partner remember their job. Remember good etiquette during your performance.\n\nHave Fun and Good Luck!! \nLocation / Parking Map and Tournament Layout\nClick each image below to see larger versions. \nEpiscopal School of Dallas Campus Map / Parking\n \nTournament Layout
