Presents the
Dear Competitors,
Everyone get excited! It’s time for the 2016 Kenpo Invitational Tournament, our end of the school year
tournament. The competition will be held on Saturday, April 2nd, 2016 at the Episcopal School of Dallas in the
Competition Gymnasium. We welcome participants and families from all our Karate League members,
including: The DaVinci School, Wesley Prep, St. John’s Episcopal, The Learning Tree, Stonewall Jackson, Hyer
Elementary, Parish Episcopal, Children’s Courtyard Coppell, Lake Highlands Elementary, Merriman Park
Elementary, Preston Hollow Elementary, Good Shepherd Episcopal, Greenhill School and our CSSD studios in
North Richland Hills, our Lakewood dojo, and the Bachman Headquarters dojo.
The divisions have been broken down as fairly as possible. 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.
Medals for competitors will be awarded to first, second and third place, and all runner-ups will receive a winner’s
medal. Points will be awarded towards the School Trophies 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. The points will be tallied and the winning school will take the bragging rights
for one of 3 Grand Prize Cups. 1) The Nick Cerio Memorial Cup - awarded to the school with the most
points. 2) The Private School Cup - awarded for the after school karate program at a private school with
the most points. 3) The Public School Cup - awarded for the after school karate program at a Public
school with the most points.
One of our most popular events is our Beginners’ Show Division. This is an introduction to our Tournament for
our youngest and newest members (ages 3-6 white belt / striped white belt, yellow belt / striped yellow belt).
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).
Carefully review the division times found on the cover sheet and be sure to arrive 20-30 minutes prior to your
division starting time. Also, 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.
As always, we strive to make this event as successful as possible and appreciate you showing your support by
competing and attending. Just remember, that the important thing is not whether you win, but rather the fact that
you came out and tried. This is a personal achievement that you should be proud of. With that in mind, we
would like to take this opportunity to wish you the best of luck and urge you to get out there and support your
school!
**Remember... Competition order and byes are awarded in the order we receive your application! So
take advantage and hand in your application early.
Yours in the Martial Arts,
Professor Nick Chamberlain

Tournament Procedures and Etiquette
Competition 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!
When 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 30 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).
When 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. “Walkon,” “Last minute” and “just changed my mind” competitors, must bring their registration forms to the judge to be
added to the division.
In SELF DEFENSE and KATA, the first three competitors will be called out and perform their material without
individual scoring. When all three are finished, they will be called back to receive their scores. This allows the
judges to get a sense of the “field” and score more fairly and consistently. From this point forward all competitors
will be scored immediately following their performance.
Sit 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.
When the judges call your name:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
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. Bow towards the judges.
Step out into a Ready Stance, Punch down with both hands, and Kiai loudly (Karate shout).
Say the following (or something similar), in a loud, slow and clear voice:
- Judges, my name is ………………….
- My style is “…………………”
- I represent “sensei ...............” and the “.................. Dojo”
- I will be performing……………….....
- With your permission, may I begin, Sir!
6. The judges will nod for you to start.
7. Bow 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...
8. Begin your kata or self defense techniques.
9. Bow at the end of your kata or to your partner following self defense techniques.
10. Turn 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.
When 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: 1) Punch Defense, 2) Grab Defense, 3) Weapon Defense. You 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.
Have Fun and Good Luck!!
