Events & Seminars

Competition, when done in a respectable manner, drives individuals to become better and to achieve more goals. It teaches us valuable life skills, such as good sportsmanship, drive, and the desire to win. There are many different levels in which competition can be a useful tool. You can compete with others, you can compete with yourself, or your team may compete against other teams. In whichever manner you chose to compete, creating a habit, or a drive to win, will help you become a champion in life.

 

The Regional Series is always working to improve event quality and provide the very best in Martial Arts competition.  If you have any suggestions or concerns about competition rules, divisions, or general ideas for improving area events please reach out to the event promoter or our office and we will be happy to consider your ideas in an effort to promote industry growth, stability and retention. For more information about each event click the flyer link, or contact the promoter.
