Kenwyn Martial Arts Invitational

Greetings to all Dojo Owners,

KENWYN MARTIAL ARTS CENTRE extends an warm invitation to your dojo/organisation to participate in the 2024 KMAC INVITATIONAL TOURNAMENT.

This tournament caters for Traditional Martial Arts and Non-Olympic karate (Okinawan,Japanese & Korean) and it is a friendly, but highly competitive championship for all dojos. Through this championship we would like to continue the friendship, participation and interaction, irrespective of style and organisation as nurtured in the previous league championships.

Our aim is to foster friendship, participation, and interaction, irrespective of style and organisation. We warmly welcome your presence.

Moreover, these tournaments provide an opportunity for dojos to introduce novice students to a competitive environment and prepare experienced athletes for upcoming provincial and national tournaments.

Please take note of the following:
• It is a friendly event with no impact on any organisation, team selection, or merit beyond the KMAC INVITATIONAL.
• Unfortunately, NO refunds will be given for no-shows or competitors unable to compete due to illness on the
tournament day.

We encourage all dojos to send referees, judges, and table officials to further develop officials for future Western Cape tournaments. Please motivate your officials to volunteer – this will lead to a more efficiently run tournament and reduce the workload for each official.

A snack shop and food stand will be available for our hungry competitors and spectators, with a card facility for payment. Our officials will be catered for throughout the tournament.

Our goal is to develop competitors and officials, creating a day of friendly competition and learning.
All payments and entries must be submitted to the Dojo Head. The Dojo Head is responsible for transferring the dojo’s entries as a bulk payment. NO entries from individual students will be accepted.

Please adhere to the closing date; entries close on 6th of May 2024 at midnight. We need to finalise the following in advance:
• Compile and finalise the Male & Female Divisions, identifying any mistakes or incorrect entries.
• Compile and finalise the drawsheets for each division.
• Calculate the correct total entries to plan how many floors are needed for the tournament day.
• Determine the total referees, judges, and jury table officials for the competition.
• Finalise the Order of Event for the tournament.

WUKF rules will apply for semi contact.
Full contact and clicker rules apply.

For any queries or questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

We eagerly anticipate seeing you all there!
