Osu everyone,

 

The Seiyu Kumite Committee would like to welcome you to the Spring Challenge 2025 Kumite tournament, where students of Seiyu Karate can join together in an afternoon of competition that will challenge your fighting spirit and is guaranteed to be a highlight of the year. 

 

The event is set to take place on Saturday, May 10th at the New Westminster dojo and is open to all active Seiyu students over 15 years of age.

 

The goal of this tournament is to provide an experience that will challenge your determination and put your kumite skills that we have been working on in the dojo to the test. There will be both entry and intermediate divisions with modified rules to accommodate the different experience levels of competitors to ensure evenly matched fights. 

 

As always fighter safety is our top priority and mandatory protective gear will be in place to ensure everyone leaves with a positive experience. Matches will be hand selected based on your skill and experience level in consultation with the kumite committee, now is the time to accept the challenge and begin your preparation. Don’t forget green belts and higher can both compete and judge so make the most of this memorable event.

 

The Spring Challenge is a rare opportunity to be a part of an exciting day that will boost your confidence and technique that you should not miss. We look forward to seeing you there.

 

Osu,

Sempai Kris Erickson
